I’m just asking y’all to show your work I’m always down to be wrong! But Ive cited my source, you can google them and even visit their shop in person. Their fleet is 2010-2014 with over 150k each I wonder if that’s a connection? Maybe the factory pcv system can handle a newer engine, but once...

Would you be able to cite a source / post pictures / Ford diagram images for this? Im not suggesting y’all are incorrect but always curious for data My friend runs a shop in Denver, Baker Garage, and they have a fleet account for a group of F150’s with the 3.5L EB and their experience is...

The Ford 3.5L EB has a factory catch can?

You’re right, I was thinking of the 2020 na 3.5 engine option. But even turns out that is port & direct injection But anyhow, carbon build up really isn’t a reason to take an engine on a journey. It’s a well proven burner

IMHO there’s no universal engine for travel. Anytime you have a problem it’s problem solving production time. I’ve been all through Mexico and beyond with a Toyota 2F, Chevy 5.3L, and Ford 7.3

That’s a lot to unpack and I can’t comment on it all but it does look like the catch can system I linked to simply improve the PVC system, by not allowing the unwanted oil to return to the top, but still function as intended.

I’ve never owned a direct injection vehicle but it sounds like carbon build up becomes a issue with em, since fuel doesn’t get sprayed onto the valves, which in the past is what kept them clean Sounds like the first thing a 3.5L ecoboost deserves is a catch can The Ford Raptor has some plug...

Billiebob has spoken. Go get your deposit back

Every Sprinter 4x4 I saw for sale on lots when I was looking in December 2019 was 62-65k. That’s 15k more (compared to $62k sprinter) than the well optioned 3.5L ecoboost, AWD, high roof I ordered. Included the bigger fuel tank, swivel seats, towing, electronic packages, etc etc. Edit...

It’s interesting to see more clearly now that it might still be cheaper and a better path to get the 2WD van and go with the Quigley system @ $15,000. Unless that price on the Quigley website doesn’t include labor? There isn’t a ton of detail on what’s included If you want to run 33” tires that...

For sure! Trade off is that’s $5000 to get the Transit to where the Sprinter is stock, for tire size and ground clearance. Just trying to think about it all holistically: then you potentially have to you calculate Ford denying a claim on the suspension & AWD system because of the aftermarket...

Yaw! The AWD Transit being around 15k less than Sprinter will be a huge selling point. And nationwide Ford dealer support. And 3.5L being a fantastic engine (aside from direct injection carbon buildup). But I am a bit bummed it's looking like it will prob cost $5000-6000 to lift an AWD...

Hate to break a heart but we chat on IG every now and then :) He posted about it on the Expo IG when I had it posted for a personally less heartbreaking price

Sale Pending! Someone is gonna be getting one amazing truck

No Denver plans for me, as of right now at least. Whitefish has a bunch of non-stop flight options around the country so I’m gonna sell it from here My buddy who co-owns Baker Garage in Denver did a bunch of the work on the truck and could speak to it. They do a bit of UJoint 4x4 conversions...

Right right, I hear that! But it’s just speculation till the AWD system is tested and data is provided that larger tires don’t hurt the system. Since it sounded like you were going full steam into it and the vans are expensive, it just would be nice to be able to provide documented data of its...

It’s a slightly big ask, but I would love to see some side by side empirical tests with the AWD system of a stock vs lifted van if you ever have the bandwidth to prove the system. If you were in a snowy region I think it could be easy to film & evaluate. In your neck of the woods it might...

No doubt! But with a new $50,000 van and lots of unknowns of how Ford will respond with warranty claims, if any extra long term wear is created, and if the AWD system functions as well, I’m down to letting the early adopters shake out the issues in 2020. And hopeful/grateful many will...

How do y’all see Ford’s factory warranty playing out with a lift kit and custom CV’s that UJoint is looking at doing? Would those modifications be blamed on any issues, minor or major, with the suspension & AWD systems? For instance, in my mind lifting a brand new Tacoma feels less risky...

Flatbed is: 100" long x 80" wide (102" in total if you removed the "headache rack" at the very front) "Headache Rack" matches the side boxes but is a separate component that is connected but independent of the top side boxes The flatbed was designed with 3 builds in mind: Grandby Flatbed...
