One last thing, a catchcan alone will NOT correct these issues. This requires the PCV mod as well or your not addressing the point of ingestion and the cause of all this excessive buildup. Just adding a catchcan will not correct any of this, just catch some of the mix that is pulled through the OEM system, and that is only a bad-aide as well.

I began with GM in 1974, and have been involved in R&D, product design and engineering for the past 40 plus years as well and actually still DO work for the big 3 with design, specifically with the PCV systems on new vehicles and power platforms. The most recent is the PCV orfice design on the GM DI 3.6L V6. EVERY 2014 and up 3.6 DI GM engine has one of MY designs in its PCV system that fixed and issue that plagued them since 2008 with far more engines in use and manufactured than the 3.5 EB has made to date, and that was a minor change yet still took 4YEARS from the time we developed the solution and presented it. $ YEARS for a less than $1 part, and it corrected an issue with oil filling the intake air bridge, throttle bodies, and intake manifolds. So by all means, educate us n your certifications, qualifications, and personal experience from the engineering and design side of the auto industry. MY profession IS what qualifies me, and longer working in the industry than most have been alive that are arguing the non-sense here. So please, by all means share with us how what your posting is anything more than another so called "keyboard expert"'s opinion. Madhochandyman, could you as well since your weighing in with such strong and rude posts? Then, please tell me why GM dealers have been installing these for years on problem vehicles and some on custom built editions costing over $100,000 each? And now Ford dealers are inquiring and testing these after customers have been coming back to them after 5-10-15 or more service visits for the same problems with no fix yet these people install this system and came back with a write-up on how it does address the flaw and correct the issues? We even now are seeing a good many that the dealer service center s are able to now see first hand the fuel/water/etc. that is caught so they now know WHERE to look for the cause instead of the band-aide tune flashes and CAC covers added in one TSB, then deleted in the next TSB? Let's have some real intelligent discussion if you like, but to barge into this thread on the attack, being rude and arrogant w/out seeing and learning all of this first hand. If not, please leave this thread and take your hate and drama to one that the OP does not mind such un-productive and disruptive harassment. And yes, Ford Motor Company is watching all of these threads closely, and are seeing the hundreds here that have implemented this solution with 100% success, where almost NO owners with the TSB's performed have had the issues cured.
The only one being rude and arrogant is you.
No one else is calling anyone names, except you.
People keep asking you for proof and data that proves what you are selling is true, and you
don't.
You can't say that your product stops engine failures from happening when you've only sold 14500 in 12 years. Did you know those failures would happen? Could you foresee it?
Until we see a reduction of cac limp mode issues AND proof that it was because of your can, I will still be skeptical.
I've had my truck for 3 years, 78000 km, not once has it gone into limp mode and I DO NOT have a can installed.

By chance do you "winter" in Florida?

Actually you are the one being rude and ignorant! If your truck hasn't had a problem in three years then we are happy for you! You haven't had a problem so STFU! There are plenty here who have who have NOT had a fix from Ford.
Just because you continually fail to understand the issue and the consequences multiple times on numerous occasions as they have been explained is not the fault of those here! But you continually butt in to share your wealth of keyboard knowledge! Have you opened up your IC lately to witness the oily residue?
What I predict you will see as time goes on, is more and more RX catch cans and competitive catch cans being installed on boosted DI applications, as that is becoming more the norm. Give it some time before you pass too much more critical judgement!
If anybody in their right mind thinks that the junk that is being caught in these catch cans (numerous pictures to bare witness to this) is good for your engine or your air system is just nuts!

Just wondering, But any chance that any of these check valves getting stuck closed while the PCV is trying to release pressure into or out of can? Ive seen check valves get stuck or broken and impede the flow, not on a catch can but in a manufacturing process.

If it isn't about the hole, and is about the can... The can in which you've told us all that you don't believe in. You obviously have issues with tuner boost. So why come into the thread? Just in the mood to argue? Or are they starting to change your mind?

I have. I've had my truck for 3 years and 20k miles. After reading about all of the sludge and crap people have been finding in their intercoolers I removed mine for a cleaning and I was also thinking about drilling the hole. So I removed the intercooler. It was bone dry and clean so I didn't even bother drilling the hole, I just reinstalled it.

I'm waiting to see some proof. I want to see someone that had the limp mode numerous times prove to us that this catch can stopped it. How many of you that are installing it, had a problem? Why do we only hear about this issue in warm weather yet he says it removes the most in cold weather? I'm like many others in that I understand and believe it removes stuff from the engine. What I'd like proof of is that it removes the buildup of moisture in the CAC that he claims and that this crap it's removing is detrimental to efficiency. I'd also like to know what you do with the crap you dump out every week?
And btw, I read many threads about things that may be of interest. The reason I decide to post here was because Tuner decided to call bigfx a liar for questioning him which he does in every thread he's put his sales pitch into and someone has questioned him.

Ok then.
Btw, I've read your sad attempts at arguing with engineermike so I'm not even going to ask you to try and explain what goes through your noggin.
Many of your posts are attempts to belittle anyone that may disagree with you.
