You mean TrainEngineerMike? He has yet to discover that the path to contaminate the air system is what Ford uses as fresh air make up, as it is un-restricted between the crankcase and left intake tube! You can check this for yourself. Belittle? You and about a half dozen people on here are disputing the premiss of this very thread, and yet we have no automotive qualifications that we can even begin to verify from any of you? I have yet to see any ASE certified mechanics or mechanical engineers in the automotive field dispute this? And somehow we have some keyboard wannabes that are qualified?
Do you know the difference between playing Monopoly and a discussion on the internet?

Even if they aren't, they aren't running around the forum telling everyone that Ford is flawed and they should purchase their product as a fix.

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.

And yes, with ANY aftermarket part added, the end user always takes a risk a dealer may try and void a warranty....I only state none have to date with this, but I have seen a local dealer void a owners warranty because he did his own spark plug change...so there will always be instances of the absurd.
I see the can as providing not only a way to keep the engine clean, but also a tool to help identify a problem rather than masking it. I think dumping the problem fluid back through the intake to be burnt sight unseen over and over is the masking. I think catching 'it' (fuel, oil, water) gives the opportunity to identify an underlying problem. It keeps you in tune with what the can should be catching seasonally, and if/when you see an abnormal increase in fuel, oil, or water, you can dig deeper to find out if there is a problem.
Most people don't want to be burdened with the responsibility to empty a can though. I had a hard time believing that at first since it takes about 30 seconds, but after seeing how many guys admitting to not checking there oil level ever, it makes sense.

And yes, this is NOT for everyone. If you are one that does not check your oil, then do not install something like this. It does require emptying at reg intervals...but it does fix the issues most experience (and thats proof from the end users) and in some has resulted in the dealer being able to find the underlying issue and fixing it before engine failure.
There is no reason for these good educational threads being wrecked buy such blatant attacks. This forum is full of great info on many subjects, and yes, even a few of the ones that have an agenda to continue to attack us I see good posts with good and accurate info at times in them, but PLEASE lets not drive off those looking for education and answers.
Amen. We do not sell direct, we are not a speed shop, we are a manufacturing and R&D facility, and have in many new makes/models coming through to continue developing products to address issues found or to enhance performance and engine life. That is what we do. And we are here supporting the forums supporting vendors (which without we would not HAVE a forum like this) and I also weigh in and contribute in dozens of threads where technical knowledge is asked for on subjects that have nothing to do with what we manufacture.
EcoBoostPowerparts, MAKPerformance, Livernoise, and several others here are where you should purchase all parts & tunes from.....and support those that support the forum.

Ecoboostpowerparts also offers a money back guarantee that if the system does not do as claimed, it can be returned.....that started app a month ago and to date not a single one that installed it has taken them up on it. The proof is from the nearly 300 EB truck owners that have these running now and all to date claim it has cured the issues. Yes, one can wait years longer to see if there is one that finds it did not, but that leaves alot of time for further issues. And, as stated in your post...you have zero issues as yours is stock, had zero oil or signs of this mix the others are dumping out of their CAC's, so you have no issues with yours so this should not even be a concern. And yes, with ANY aftermarket part added, the end user always takes a risk a dealer may try and void a warranty....I only state none have to date with this, but I have seen a local dealer void a owners warranty because he did his own spark plug change...so there will always be instances of the absurd. And many here in threads on this forum have told their stories of having visited 5-10-15 times or more for the issues and ONLY after installing the system and showing the service techs what they were catching were the techs able to narrow it down to say a failing HPDI pump, etc. And yes, this is NOT for everyone. If you are one that does not check your oil, then do not install something like this. It does require emptying at reg intervals...but it does fix the issues most experience (and thats proof from the end users) and in some has resulted in the dealer being able to find the underlying issue and fixing it before engine failure.

Exactly. This mix must be recycled with any drain oil. Amen.

Again, has anyone on this forum that has installed this can previously have numerous issues with with the cylinder shut down?
Seems to me the only ones here that installed it are hoping that it will remove the chance of it happening to them. Summer is coming, we'll soon find out.
I'm done with this arguing but I'll be keeping my eyes on these threads over the coming months.
Prove me wrong and I'll request Ford install this at their own cost for building my truck with a faulty emissions component.

Last time I checked there was oil dripping from both the PCV tube and the Fresh air tube when in the Stock condition. If oil drips everything else associated with the motor running will be there also. The Quick disconnects make it easy to check there. Just wear the blue gloves to protect your skin from harmful rash.

This will be my final remark in this thread but hopefully with this scenario you'll see where some of us are coming from.
You live in a city of 400000. Some guy with Dr. in front of his name moves into the city and claims that everyone in this city has a genetic flaw and you'll all get the flu.
However, for only $400 he can give you this serum and you'll never have the flu. So far he's given it to 300 of those 400000 and no one has gotten the flu yet! Never mind that it's not even flu season yet.
Would you give him the $400? Or would you wait for more proof that 1) there is really a flaw and 2) his serum really is a cure for the so called flaw.
I'll be watching in the wings for updates.

Look, I'm up for waiting for the proof but I don't have to wait years. The issues always cropped up on the forum during the summer and it's quickly approaching. We will find out shortly. And to say that 300 units were installed when there are what, 400000 Eco F150s does not equate to definite proof of resolving an issue. Again, has anyone on this forum that has installed this can previously have numerous issues with with the cylinder shut down?
