Umm...cause I have personally riden in three other Ecoboost trucks, on my normal commute routes, on hills where mine will misfire and those ones did not? And these trucks had 0 to 18,000 miles on them.

And by the way, I never said it was fact. And I am talking about the misfire shudder. And if you have this "shudder" type but don't feel it you must be deaf and paralyized from the eyes down.

Unfortunately all these "shudders" have gotten clumped into one big thread. It'd be nice if maybe it would get broken out into driveline shudder and engine miss type shudder? You can hear it in my truck...turbo starts building boost then its cut off then builds again...the whole truck jerks, shakes, lurches back and forth. Seems many people on this thread have a less serious driveline shudder that causes a vibration more or less. Honestly I would live with that any day. I'm worried what I have has the potential to cause major mechanical failures at some point.

If they don't know its happening then I'm sorry the shudder you are talking about really isn't that big of a deal. If you rode in my truck there would be no if ands or buts that there is something wrong.

I'm sorry, maybe some of its my own fault cause when I read this I am assuming people are talking about my shudder type, but realize now most are not and are actually just complaining about how a truck rides so rough/has a little driveline shudder.

I've been trying to capture video/audio of what happens to my truck when it starts happening, but don't think the mic on my cell phone is strong enough to pick up the turbos in the cab. I'm gonna try and record with an actual video camera and see if that works better.

Someone on this Forum has already got the new CAC from Ford and has stated that the power seems less than when he had the old CAC in it. If that is the case couldnt this "fix" cause a case to be made of false advertisement on Fords part when advertising the HP and Torque numbers for the Ecoboost.

Has anyone actually confirmed that the HP and Torque numbers are less with the new CAC? Any dyno runs before/after to back it up?

Most likely what happened, if it is true, torque/horsepower curves shifted somehow(reprogram-didn't hear if he received a new flash with the new CAC) therefore maybe causing performance to seem lower, when in reality the hp/torque numbers are the same, maybe just at a higher RPM. With all the hype around this engine and several magazines/performance shops having the means to put them on dynos...I don't think Ford would want to mess with dropping numbers and dealing with false advertising. I could see it very plausible that they changed the curves though so power comes from RPM vs. boost at low RPM(downshifting instead of building boost).

Either way...I bought this truck for the low end torque for pulling, and I noticed that even with the previous 2 TSB's the truck seems to want to shift more than it did from the factory. If it further lowers this low end performance...I would be very disappointed, which is why I'm hesitant to let them perform any more "fixes" to my truck. Thinking of harrassing them for extended warranty and just leaving it the way it is. Sell when the warranty expires.

Neither mine nor my cousins' is anything like you have mentioned. I can't hear my turbos or have any type of major shake that a "deaf and paralyized from the eyes down" person could feel. The service dept at my dealership couldn't feel it either until I took them for a ride and pointed out everytime it did it. Mine is just the 55-60 mph shudder/miss when slight power is added for in incline or a gentile power add for a pass on the freeway. This little bit of shudder is enough for me, if I had the kind of stuff you're talking about, the truck would be "Gone in 60 seconds."

They installed a new deflector at the bottom of the intercooler, they also mentioned that the aftermarket grills (that Ford parts departments sell) are not allowed to be installed LOL!! The deflector does work and sends a more concentrated air flow through the intercooler, I had this install about 2k ago and I do not have the shudder anymore, I have also kept the aftermarket grill out. I didn't get a TSB# but the invoice states "Install air deflector, and recalibrate PCM.

Coworker and I both have had severe misfire issues with our trucks for the past week or so. Both nasty misfires that would cause the trucks to shake/shudder/fall on their face, and make them all around unsafe to drive. Both trucks threw CEL's and the dealers immediately scheduled them for software updates and this intercooler defelector. So far my truck seems to be running better although there is definitely less power, and light-to-medium acceleration is no longer smooth. It's difficult to explain but it's essentially a light surge like the power delivery/tuning is no longer linear.

Anyone else have this issue?

This upcoming week should be interesting with the storms, since this is the type of weather that has typically brought out the misfire issues.

Yep second deflector

I have not posted in a while.

I have been patiently waiting for months on Ford’s factory broken promises. That is really all they do is break promises; that is broken promises from Ford, not the dealer. The dealer is essentially useless. The things the factory has attempted to do to fix this POS is laughable at best. It is extremely dangerous to drive now.

Ford Motor has absolutely no clue what they are doing. They do not know how to test for it. They have not field tested this vehicle. They do not know how to fix it. When I say “no clue” I mean No Clue.

I was promised to “hear” back from them again last week. Well that did not happen either.

There is no question the F150 EcoBoost is one thousand times worse than the 6.0 Diesel ever was. I guess that is a success for them? The 6.0 Diesel was not life threatening!

I have never owned a new vehicle that has fallen apart as quickly at this one. Trust me the 6.0 diesel EGR cooler failures at 50,000 miles are a vastly superior product to the EcoBoost. There is no comparison at all. Not even close!

I was in “hope” (where have I heard that before); that they would keep their promise last week and resolve this issue. So far they have not kept their promise. If they do not keep their promise it only means the “warranty” is not worth the paper it is written on.

After having every TSB they have, and still having some issues. I found this yesterday.
