I can’t find the JLT catch can anymore. All links lead to a error page.
Has anyone tried the J&L catch can?

Anyone ever use seafoam for this valve build up problem?

It's direct injection, so seafoam or any other fuel additive won't make any difference, other than keeping the injectors clean.

I think he's talking about seafoam through the intake.

I will probably use some type of intake cleaner every 30K or so. I have used the old GM top engine cleaner on many vehicles with good results but they don't make it anymore so looking for something else.

I wish Ford would have made these 3.0’s with dual injection.

Correct. Through the throttle body. I have used it on other vehicles to dissolve build up on the valves. There is a utube video that shows how effective it is.

Checked my catch can after 2 months and it was more then half full with 90% water. It has been about 1000 miles and 100 hours of run and idle time combined. It has be below zero here for 30 days on and off since mid December so I have about a 5-10 minutes idle time after auto start until I drive to or from work about 8 miles each way so doesn't get super warmed upped in this weather.

I would say that is not surprising in cold temps and short drives not getting hot enough to boil off. Just think, that water could be going back into your engine :)

^ Welcome to the game Mishi. I am sure it's a quality product, but not so sure what you mean by 'cleaner install' and 'more purpose-built', they look (and perform) almost exactly the same IMHO.

Golly…my 18,000 mile engine has amazingly not fallen apart without one since then.
