2012 Ecoboost Intercooler TSB

TTV6>V8
Quick question for you gents.
Would I be able to go into the dealership and get them to perform this TSB on my truck so I can get the new IC?
I haven't gotten any shudder...yet(knock on wood)...but if this new IC is supposed to increase mileage/performance I would be very interested in getting this done.
What are your guys' thoughts on this? Should I go in and talk to the service manager??

Somehow I doubt there isn't a design flaw if they're replacing a whole part- not to mention the problem could be very dangerous if it happened at the wrong time... And I would guess its not good for the engine and truck to misfire and shudder, as well as getting water in the engine...
Also, lets say someone lives in a dry climate, has no problems, and then takes a long road trip to a humid climate- problem happens and now your stuck far from your home and dealer with a bunch of stuff and or people...
Just my .02. Doesn't seem like a minor/insignificant problem to me, regardless of how many experience it.

Your theory assumes that the misfire happens all the time, every time an ecoboost is in a humid climate. If this were the case nearly every ecoboost would experience this problem because rain = 100% humidity. I'm sure fords bean counters are keeping track of how many of these TSB's are performed and would issue a voluntary recall if the percentage is that high. If you truly think there's a problem follow the proper channels and contact nhtsa.gov.

I've had the uphill shudder @ 55 since day one. One fall on it's face episode about 6 months ago. Took it in yesterday and demonstrated the shudder and they ok'd the TSB and ordered the parts. Might be a couple of weeks as the ICs are on nationwide BO.
Never had a DTC so I don't need a cat.

Hello all. Took my 2012 f150 eco to the dealership. Actually my sales guy did, he is great. Anyhow I mentioned to them that my mileage was becoming worse and I had some lag going uphill. To my surprise they read the TSB and ordered a new intercooler and a shield plus they said they where going to reset the computer or something to that effect. I think this is a good start and I hope a permanent fix. Has anyone else had these repairs and are still having lag and poor mileage??
