Good news, fellow Kansan! Going in Friday for mine. Sadly we may find that they are just resetting the learn mode back to zero which is back when my truck ran great, idled great, got great mileage, and no surge problems. So 6 months from now, we'll be in the same boat. But, we'll see.

No idea on the one for the 5.0 because I have the 3.5 engine. The service adviser thought I had the 5.0 when I got there this morning. So far mileage is still the same. Feels like there might be more power. Shifts about the same.

I am subscribed to the Motorcraft site and there is no 5.0 TSB posted yet for this issue. Last TSB is 12-02-10 for the 3.5L....

Anyone find it odd that the manual has NO part numbers for spark plugs for our trucks? There's also a nice little blurb stating "Replace the spark plugs with ones that meet Ford material and design specifications for your vehicle, such as Motorcraft or equvalent replacement parts. The customer warranty may be voice for any damage to the engine if such spark plugs are not used."

I'd be weary of those who are saying they want to try a different set of plugs for this misfire issue... I also find it interesting that the other 3.5L EB engine had TSB 10-17-10 for spark plug issues that were causing "rough running, hesitation, and shuddering" due to cracking insulators.

I don't think it's odd not to list the spark plug or any other part numbers since there are 4 possible engines. Also, parts change a lot more frequently than they used to as they update them so looking up the current spec on a part is in everyone's best interest. Also, that TSB for the other 3.5 engines was out before they started building the Ecoboost for trucks. I'd assume what they leraned from the cars was good for the trucks. And what they learned from the first year of these engines in the trucks is even better for the next year's engines.

What other 3.5L EB are you talking about?

Is there an associated TSB for this new transmission mount?
