2013 eb 3:31 here. Went to the dealer today to discuss a sync update. Then somehow in the conversation TSB 14-0017 came up. After a short discussion I decided against scheduling my truck for the TSB even if the service center was willing to do it. Only 6k on the truck and never had an issue I don't want to induce a problem. I have decided against drilling my cac as well. However I am not a fan of the gunk the catch can is collecting. As a preventive measure I can't see the Catch can doing any harm. Can somebody tell me at what mileage I should pull the IC to inspect and clean it. TIA.

You can get an indication by removing the BOV tube from it and seeing what comes out ? It is a 1 1/8" grey quick disconnect.

I vented my BOV a couple weeks ago. I don't remember anything coming out of it....should I had seen something coming out? I just disconnected the the hose at both ends. I bought a rubber 1 1/8 inch chair leg end and stuck it on the intake tube hole. Held it on with a strap clamp.

Left image shows band-aid #1, 'upper deflector', right image shows band-aid #2, block off 'sticker'. Latest TSB has you remove either of these if they were previously installed.... Early trucks will have neither unless one of the superseded TSB's was already performed.
LEFT: Upper Deflector. ---------- RIGHT: Block Off Sticker
I've never had the stumble issue, but even before having the latest factory PCM calibration, I had my foot into the throttle and the turbo's spooled up often. Latest calibration (and most aftermarket tunes) make more boost with less throttle position, so the short answer is latest PCM update or not, EcoBoost engines like to be driven in BOOST, not ECO, which works out fine for me...
