Is it true you only need a catch can on the drivers side? I would have thought both.

Was doing some reading on the JLT site, for the 05-10 GTs

Most of the oil you will see on the PCV (driver) side on the 2005-10 GT so if you are only getting one make sure it's the driver side.

For the Lightnings it is the Passenger side that is most important.

Al for our 3V drivers side when NA (others have tried both and the passenger gets nothing)
When boosted though it swaps to passenger side as the crankcase goes from vacuum to pressurized while in boost.

Key is to not allow it to be pressurized via check valve.

Next question: If I knocked a ground wire off while I was in there would that cause the starter to crank slowly?

Got everything back together and runs perfect but when starting it it is a slow crank and then it fires up. Thought maybe the battery was dead so we took it for a good drive Saturday and Sunday and it is still doing it.

Easy test, hook a booster cable to the neg terminal, other end to a clean spot on the engine, retest. If it cranks faster, ground is your problem, if not, likely starter motor. Mod motors are typically very easy on em though, get the odd one in thats failed because case is corroded through.

Got her figured out. Battery had a dead cell. Replaced under the Motorcraft Battery Warranty. All seems good now.

I was getting a lot of oil in the intake before I installed it.

Edit: Yes, only passenger side is required.

From everything I've read you don't want to add oil captured in a catch can back into the crank, it often is contaminated with water.

Interesting concept. Have you / do you know of anyone that has pulled the intake say X number of miles later to confirm it's indeed keep oil out of the intake?
