Well, back on topic. I went to the dealer today to talk to the service manager and my salesman saw me get out of my truck and asked how I was liking the F150. I told him of my almost stalling issues with the 2.7 EB engine and my concerns about the TSB as well. To make a long story short, they made me a great deal on a new 2017 XLT with a 5.0 V8. The deal was so awesome, I made the truck trade. So no more worries with the 2.7 EB engine. I hope that all of you that have 2.7 EB engine, have good luck with them!

So I'm back to the only one having this issue now...LOL
I still have the issue using the higher octane (mixing calculation of around 90 octane). So next I will be changing brands. I buy the majority of my fuel from Valero mainly for price and convenience but will try Exxon or Shell next.
The 2.7L seems to like the higher octane, especially with the ambient temps are around 90 degrees.

Just to make another comment on this....I would venture to say that most 2.7 EB engines are damn good trouble free engines. The one I just traded in was manufactured in the dreaded time slot that the TSB had noted for the heads or the engine long block assembly to possibly need to be replaced. Therefore, do not get me wrong that I was or am implying that the 2.7 EB engine is a bad engine. However Ford knows they had an issue with some of the engines during 2016 engine building process. I am happy with my V8 now, but if I would not of started to have issues with mine, it would still be parked in my driveway and I would still be very happy with it.
Thanks,

Because people like to have d*ck measuring contests and if you don't agree with them then they will waste a large amount of time berating you because of it
