Default Has the New Interecooler Solved Anyone's Problems?

Sorry if this has been answered but I can't really find any info in the search feature. For those of you that have received the new intercooler, has it mitigated the shuddering and misfires?

Default good question

Lets hear about the new intercooler fixes. Are they working? or is this engine a POS?

I agree.

Also, do any late build 13's have the issue?

If so then I don't think there is a fix yet!

I can't say for sure, not like I live in a wet climate but my 2013 ecoboost has had no issues in the rain or snow... I've driven it at 20c and down to -35c! No issues, now the tranny is jumpy..... Not smooth like my Chevy was, but the ecoboost make the truck whole!

Yeah I live in an area where the weather conditions are prime for the IC problem. I really don't want to take the leap if there is an unresolved issue.

So far I am cautiously optimistic as I haven't seen many reports from 2013 owners saying they're having the issue.

How's the intercooler fix kit for '12s and early '13s ? Is it fixing the problem as well? I know a few people at work with the Eco but they aren't in the know about much with their truck. So far only complaints are terrible mileage. They were only getting about what my 5.4L was getting in the previous 2010. Probably because of inconsistant driving or a lead foot.

I've had zero issues on my 12 EB but then again, my intercooler isn't stock either. :-)

That's probably why, as it's a good mix of both with the routes we take to work. Often we see each other on the way to work. A F150 convoy.
