Spoke with dealer today--they are replacing the throttle body assembly and plugs... I will drill the drain hole. Thanks for everyone's input.

It sounds like your dealer is taking great care of you, slingshot60; I'm happy to hear it! If you have any feedback about them that you'd like to get documented, please send over a private message with your full name, VIN, phone number, dealer, and any details you'd like included.

Did find out the throttle body is not covered by warranty and I have to pay for it... at 2 yrs and 40K miles? Really?

I'd argue on this one.... From this link:
http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Fo.../13frdwa3e.pdf

Page 20 lists the Throttle body as being covered under the emissions warranty - 8yr/80k.

I'll loop in your regional customer service manager for additional assistance, slingshot60. All I'll need to get started is a private message with your full name, VIN, servicing dealership, and best daytime contact number. I'll get the ball rolling!

Had just left the Goodguys show at Texas Motor Speedway coming into Ft Worth in my '13 KR 4X4 EB towing a 20' enclosed trailer with my ****** Wagon and gear (maybe 7500 lbs total). Rained last two days was sprinkling rain and humid. Had just got into a construction area when I felt a 'bump' (pop?) under then hood and then nothing--lost all power, wrench symbol flashed on the info screen. No shoulder, pretty heavy traffic. Not a good place for this to happen. Fortunately there was an exit about 200 yards ahead so I slipped it into neutral and coasted into the exit and there was a small shoulder that I could pull over on. Cut the motor off--popped the hood and saw nothing amiss. When I re-started it everything was back to normal and I drove 200 miles to Abilene without incident. Scared the bejesus out of me though due to where and when it happened. Will take it to the dealer today and see what they say...

Your not alone. Happened to me last summer on a road trip from Ga to FL on I95. Hours of torrential rain. Happened multiple times it was very annoying and dangerous. The truck only had 5k on it at the time. I came back from the trip and had a tsb done. It has not happened since but I haven't driven it in hot humid rainy conditions either, I drive my 96 under those conditions. I don't trust fords eb in those conditions. I guess I need to drill a hole, install a catch can or part ways with the truck. Glad I kept my 96.

Default Update

Just spoke with the Ford Regional Customer Service Representative... basically told 'tough luck' and it is not covered under the emissions warranty. Oh well. Was worth a shot...
