Default Is there an Oil Catch Can for the 5.4L?

I've seen oil catch cans for the Hemi 5.7L engines, but I'm wondering if there's one for the Triton 5.4L engine. This is a good mod because it keeps the throttle body clean and will pay off in the long run for sure. Does anyone know where I can get a catch can for the Triton?

You'll probably have to do some 'custom fitting'. Summit has several to choose from:

You can use them for oil cans (non-recirculating type) or trans fluid, or coolant catch cans too. They have some nice lookers, and even sell mounting brackets to make things look like a clean install. Pick a mounting location, bolt it up, connect a hose, and you're all set.

If you want the cheap version, a 20oz mountain dew bottle, a zip tie, and a short hose will do the trick!

Back on my old Ranger, I removed the hose going from the valve cover to the TB. Plugged off the port going into the TB and installed a small K&N cone filter. All I did was clean the filter once in a while. I have yet to do this to my F150. If I can find anything under the hood!!!!

That's the way mine is - breather filter on the valve cover. I guess the catch can is a little more 'earth friendly'.
