Tremble

Tomorrow I get to take my 2011 eco boost F150 to the dealership and have a second coil replaced. This time it's out of warranty. It's been raining here for a few days and I pulled my 10 foot trailer with a zero turn mower and today I get the engine shutter/limp mode business just like last time. I talked to the dealership and called Ford customer care and was told I have to pay for it. I figured as much, but was hoping there was a recall or something since last time I read about all the issues with this. I'm disappointed for sure. I'm posting to see if anyone knows of any other route I can pursue or is the bill totally on me? Any help would be appreciated; thank you.

Have you had the latest TSB done to it?

Have you drilled a weep hole in the intercooler?

Has anyone written a step by step tutorial on this??? You're average joe isn't just gonna do drilling holes in his intercooler...

I had the latest program flashed in October 2013 when the first coil problem showed up. I'll ask tomorrow if there's a new version. I'll also see about the weep hole. Have folks had good results with these steps?

There is a new TSB, as of late last year?

Yes people have had good results with drilling the weep hole (this was on the 2nd page of this forum):

Replacing a coil is as simple as disconnecting one electrical clip and undoing a bolt...literally 5 min. Can you do it yourself?

How many miles are on your truck, Tremble? I'll research some options for me to help out with the repair.

Ok, dealership replaced one coil and one spark plug. I mentioned an updated PCM calibration and they said good thing I did because there was a newer one than what I had and there was no documentation about it. They didn't see it until they hooked up the programmer to my truck. It runs as it should now, so we'll see what happens. Thank you everyone for the help and advice; especially the updated calibration part.
