The guys with 5.0's could have the same TC problem but they can only feel the issue and not hear it much since they don't have the turbos or wastegates magnifying things.
I really think some of the "shuddering" isues that Ford and dealers are lumping into the moisture issue are when a truck severely shudders and goes into limp mode when accelerated hard. That issue makes more sense to me regarding moisture causing serious misfires.

Made the appointment
I just spoke with my dealer and before I could tell him why I was calling he excitedly anounced that the flash is available and they just received the acknowlegement this morning.
He said it takes about an hour and bring it on in.
I hope this works. I only have one of these trucks, the dealers are stuck with a bunch of them and have been just as eager to hear from Ford as we have.
