You know what they will do right? They will just say it doesn't fit XXXX year rather than change the product.
If that's the case they will lose alot of sales, but they can modify the hose or make a plug to patch the existing pipe . It appears there are 2020-23 Rangers with this same issue so not many without.
I hope your wrong!!!

Super helpful. I'll keep you in mind the next time I'm looking to buy ocean front property in Nebraska. ?????
Hey! We have beach-front property here.........might be the sandhills up on the Niobrara.........but we got it!

I would have sold you a jar of snake oil for half the price.
I would dig some official Ford Performance hardware in my truck just for authenticity sake. But I don't see the benefit of this one without a simple draining/cleaning process.

Went with a full on catch can.

Only other FP accessory I've seen is the differential cover and as badass as it looks I don't know if it provides any benefit beyond appearance.

If Ford wanted to milk our small segment they should reissue the engine cover with the FP logo ?

Draining should be fairly simple. Disconnect the two tubes and then it lifts right off the bracket and can be dumped out. I'll probably unscrew the top the 1st couple of times just to see
how much fluid is in there though.

?EDIT? I found a solution (a ridiculous one at that) I bought the tube with sensor for $35 From my dealer PN- KB3Z-6758-A. Then I just popped it into the new tube and away we go. The "A" is the sensor style tube. See the additional photos below.

At the risk of looking like an absolute idiot, I'm going to ask for a little help here. I bought the Ford Performance oil separator and downloaded the instruction from Ford; and that's where it all went South. Looking at the photo of my 2020 2.3L and the photos from the instructions...where in the hell is my crank case pressure sensor?? It certainly isn't where they say it should be, which is problematic when trying to install the new tube. Am I just blind or stupid? What am I missing?

Now that's a solution I could live with! Ya it costs a little more but if your impatient like me it works .

So... what happens if this isn't emptied and fills up ? And overflows ?

I don't know if it fills with the speed or efficiency of a catch can but it looks smaller. I open a valve and in five seconds drain mine once a month. Removing the FP part or even unscrewing many CC's seems like a hassle and missing cleaning/emptying it is a potential disaster.

I saw a video on the Ford separator and it had more capacity than most aftermarket cans if not all if them.

That should come with the tune instead of the tiny little stickers!

I looked on my 2019 and I have the sensor.
I want on Ford Performance website and saw that if you don't have the sensor
the kit part number is M-6766-B23 and not M-6766-R23.

With sensor : https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6766-R23
Without sensor : https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6766-B23
Just ordered the B23 version, as it states it will work on 22-23 Rangers and my late 21 ranger has no sensor so it should work. Thx for the find on the B23 version!!

In 9 or 10 of 2021 they change the routing of some of the PCV valves that might have something to do to it I put a GLT on and mine was the later version which had different pipe routing maybe they got their numbers missed or something I don't know but they did change it mid production year of 21 my kit did not require no sensor hook up so
