Takeda

Thank you! I had not seen any photos of the problem. One thing I didn't mention in my original post, if you stand on the tailgate step, the tailgate comes close to hitting the hitch receiver.

Here is a photo showing how close the tailgate comes to the hitch receiver, without a ball mount. If you forget to remove the ball mount, before lowering the tailgate, it will smash into the tailgate:

Added one more feature not available on GM twins

Silverado and Sierra sales continue to drop in February: http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2018/03/best-selling-pickup-trucks-february-2018.html

The F150 is a wise move The following features are available on the F150, but not available on the GM twins: 1) DOHC, 4 valve/cylinder engines 2) Adaptive Cruise Control 3) Blind Spot Monitors 4) 360 degree camera view 5) Rear HVAC vents 6) Keyless ignition 7) Trailer backup assist 8) Aluminum bodies 9) Console shifter The EcoBoost engines have been thoroughly tested, unlike the 5.3L AFM. This video is lengthy, but worth the time:

Once again, with an OEM PCV system, condensed (liquid) combustion by-products DO NOT enter the intake, only vapors, in very low concentrations!!!!!

If you are using a quart of oil every 2K miles in that 3.6L, that engine is not healthy! Another comment on catch cans: Millions of vehicles with DI engines (forced induction, and NA) have run millions, and millions of miles with no problems without a catch can. There has been no long term testing with catch cans. Matter of fact, since they condense water vapor (the major by-product of combustion), this would reduce the cleansing effect that water vapor has internally on an engine! Just something to consider!

I wouldn't expect anything less from a catch can salesman!

Catch cans are a GIMMICK! The OEM PCV system does not put condensed combustion by-product vapors (liquid) back into the intake, as collected by a catch can! The combustion by-product vapors are in extremely low concentrations in the intake, when compared to the air volume.
