Haven't heard of the drain in the bottom can yet.
I've seen people using them before & I don't know where they're getting them from or how much they are either lol

EDIT: Your picture didn't re-post. The post I quoted was from your PCV picture post.
I don't think I post a pic of the one I have in there now, just the one I took out. The one in there now was the advanced auto brand cause that's all they had in Stock. I ordered a ev-238 today tho. The genuine motor craft ones should be black right?

That has been on my list for a while. Even if I don't get one with drain back it's not hard to empty. All depends on what the inside of my intake looks like. If I pull it and it's dry inside I'm not gonna waste the money on a catch can.

Don't buy a high mileage one that hasn't been deleted..that's called new engine.

Yea, I didn't know you could actually buy them now. Use to be people making their own contraptions. You could really tell they were home made lol.

I don't think have the coin for a 6.4 or any diesel actually. If I get something new I'm not trying to spend more than 18k. I'm gonna see if I can find an 09-10 f150 Lariat, fx4, or loaded xlt with a 5.4. If I can't find one I'll just wait till a clean low mileage screw fx4 tenth gen pops up since I don't like the looks of 11th gens

Yeah don't forget an oil change for a diesel is 120 oil and filter but every other add another 45 for fuel filters..maintenance is crucial on 6.0 6.4
Edit: maintenance spelling

Yeah a diesel is pretty much out of the question. If I rebuild I'm seriously considering a high compression NA build. Boost is cool but it's also expensive lol. I have been reading about Mustang guys putting 350 to the wheels with high compression 2v 5.4s on pump gas so that sounds promising. One guy was even puting down 425 rwhp and close to 500 ft/lbs with a 12.0:1 CR, Custom cams, tfs heads, and a short runner intake. I know I have more drivetrain loss tho so I won't even come close to 350 rwhp. If I can make 350 or a little less fly wheel horse power on mid grade and keep my trans in one piece I would be super happy.
