I was going to go with the JLT, but not after what Boss Hoss said about it. Installation looks like a cramped problem for 60 year old hands, and draining the cup doesn't look much better.

I reviewed the installation instructions for the Moroso unit, and they are much more to my liking. Draining the Moroso unit will be MUCH easier, and I like the fact that the Moroso unit isn't just hanging by the hoses.

I do have a question for those who have installed the Moroso unit themselves. What is the torque setting for the two shock tower bolts that you have to remove and reinstall to mount the bracket?

I ran my Jlt for over a year and 30k miles and never had more than a slight coating inside and a few drops of oil. Even with the new filter

I think that you know better than that. Either it was not hooked up correctly or you have the only engine on the planet that performs in that manner.

Biggest issue with most of these cans is that they are not large enough. The fuller the container gets the less efficent it is. Why do you think the condensation removal not to mention oil vapor on the small units is problematic when there is a very small volume to condense in.

Have one on my 2013 JK as well and that little motor produces more oil but a lot less condensation than the 6.2 DI motor. Mine has a simple valve to turn which goes to a clear tube than drains to a container or the ground.

There isn't really a way to install incorrectly. Or my Jlt was just malfunctioning.

I just order one of these (JLT) because I was ordering some other stuff (PSS and silicone tubes for my AFe). I have 65K mi on my truck, you guys think I should sea foam the shit out of this thing, or anything else.

Yes, with caution. The Ford manual says to never use fuel additives, so I follow the Sea Foam instructions to the letter.
