Installed the upr mega catch can with clean side separator tonight. It's a pretty tight fit with the intercooler pipes but with enough cursing it goes together. It's getting to be pretty busy in the engine bay.

So the catch can works..... That's not a full size solo cup but still about 6 to 8 ounces of mostly water a little oil and a little gas...it smells like gas anyways not sure how much is actually in there. This was after about 120 miles of driving....

Could you go into a little more detail on how you installed/wired your dually's in the fog lamp location? Thank you. Great truck btw.

For the wiring..There is none. You buy these adaptors and plug them in. I had to switch the wires though because it's backwards. Not hard, just need to pull the deutsch plug apart and switch them.

To install I just pulled out the fog light buckets(the bolts and they come out) and placed it as far back as I could but still be able to adjust them. I drilled a hole in the top of the bucket and bolted it in. You just need to be careful that you get them square inside the hole. Some people drill holes in the side so they can adjust them...pretty good idea I just didn't do it because I didn't want extra holes. Hope this helps.

Do you have any night time pictures of the light bar and dullys on?
Just curious how well they light the world up

I don't but I can tell you the duallys are absolutely ridiculous. They light up the road really well. When I turn those on then the light bar all you get is a little more light off to the sides. The light bar isn't as bright as the duallys are.

Got bored tonight and had one light left to use from my raptor lights so I made a small bracket and lit up the lower grille. It could be a little brighter but for how much time I put into it, I'm happy with it.

That looks pretty sweet with the F150 grille in there...I've got a bunch of Rigids in the way otherwise I might think about that!

Hi Ecoengineer, good too know the catch can works Do you have the airbox routing or the one with the "T" fitting? I just bought one myself but I didn't install it yet I had problem closing the hood. Great customer service from UPR though, I told them that and I need to send them pictures see what's the problem. Maybe I have done something wrong, maybe I did not rotate the can itself the right way, I don't know...


Did you had a hard time to close the hood or it touches but it doesn't affect anything when your trying to close it?


Let me know please.


Thank you.
