Damn, that's cool that they now have a can built it! I definitely did not know they had already updated the engine with a fix. For what it's worth, I don't really think these cans can cause an issue (assuming it's installed correctly), and the replacement hose is only ~$15. Meaning, there is...

Hello @CVF-Jason ! Are you still offering this promotion? I have a semi-stock 22 EB- 4k and do a good amount of towing ~3,500 lbs. I haven't done much to the engine or exhaust (just oil catch cans) and would be happy to gather some info on temps/changes to the engine. I really like your...

Yeah, I've personally had catch cans pick up a lot of liquid in previous cars. It was sludgy and hard to wipe out of the catch can. At least some of that will end up on your valves, intake manifold, and intercooler. We'll see in few years if it's enough to make a difference on this engine, or...

Exactly! It could be that it has a lot of water and it's evaporating, but there still is very little. On a side note, I had a 2012 Kia SX (direct injection 2.0 turbo, 275 hp, 50k miles) that I also put a catch can on. That thing picked up a good amount of liquid every gas fill up. Obviously...

Hey MTC, I have a 2022 EB AWD with 4k towing. I installed a pair of oil catch cans according to the Cuban Redneck DIY Guide (great info FYI). However, I haven't seen much if any fluid in my cans and am worried I installed them wrong. Please let me know if I should re-do anything or if I stuck...

Following up here. This is definitely NOT REQUIRED maintenance and is not going to be something listed in the manual. If you follow the Ford spec and do normal driving with your car, you'll probably have no issues for the first 75-100k miles. However, changing your fluids/oils is PREVENTATIVE...

Overall it was pretty easy. I did put shielding on the hose, used a Dremel to smooth some rough frame edges, and put some foam tape over any corner points. It was definitely tricky to get the bags into the springs without taking anything off. I ended up getting the nozzle through with the "hot...

Thanks for all the input! Honestly, I don't think this trailer is worth it. Even if I'm able to deal with the hitch/trailer weight, it's going to be nerve racking to tow, and struggle with any kind of weight. Any recommendations on another trailer? I think the Sun-lite 16BH looks really...

Hey MTC, First, I want to say that it's never a good idea to exceed manufacturer ratings. These are made by engineers through serious testing, many of them written in blood, keep you/others safe on the road, and limits personal liability. That being said, how important is tongue weight, and...

They worked great! I'm new to pulling trailers, but I had ~3,500 lbs and 350 on the tongue and the squat was barely visible. I pumped the bags to about 19 PSI and the car felt very flat/square. You definitely know there is a trailer there, but the truck felt very safe to drive, minimal sway, and...

Sounds good. I reached out to Steeda to see if they have any additional info, but still waiting to hear back. I'll let you guys know if I hear any sounds/signs of contact before I install the rings

Unfortunately, I didn't take a full pic of the bar, but I can definitely confirm the bar does not have any stops or rim like I've seen in the past. It's just a smooth cylinder/tube. Do you think these rings are absolutely necessary? The maverick doesn't have much around the control/toe link...

oh snap! you're a genius! The bar I have doesn't have nubs to prevent it from moving left to right. These "shaft collars" likely go on the bar, next to the anchor points to prevent it from shifting left/right and hitting the suspension/springs

amazing! thank you for the link I ended up routing the air hose into the bed cubby so I could set this up later. Worked great. there was already an opening at the bottom to feed the line in

Hey MTC, I just installed the Steeda rear anti-sway bar (link to product) on my 22 AWD Maverick. The installation went well, but they included 2 metal rings in the box and I can't find information on them anywhere. From the Steeda and YouTuber install videos, there doesn't seem to be anything...

hmmm that's a pretty cool idea! It would be nice to be able to adjust the pressure while driving and automatically.

Hey MTC, I just changed the transmission fluid on my 22 EB 4K and wanted to add some pro-tips I learned from reading/watching other videos. I did this at ~13k miles with my PTU/RDU oil swap (please do this! write up here) just in case it was needed. I used the OEM Motorcraft ULV I got from the...

Hey MTC, I'm planning to start towing with my 22 EB 4k Maverick. I'll likely be running fairly close to the max loads and wanted to add some parts to make it easier to drive and safer for me & the truck. I've already replaced the transmission, PTU & RDU Fluids (highly recommend! write up here)...

Hey MTC, There are a number of posts on here about the poor PTU/RDU fluids & wear from the factory and I wanted to add some fuel to the flame. I changed mine at ~13,000 miles and it was not in good shape (see pictures below). The PTU definitely seemed underfilled, had metallic debris, and a ton...

Thanks for the help. I'm about to start by renting a few trailers and see what works best for my needs. Great advice to drive slow. Also looking at some early replacement of the PTU/RDU fluids from some other threads. Cheers!
