2012 3.5L EcoBoost Screw - Rough at cold temps/rear end clunk?
I just picked up a 2102 Screw with the 3.5L Ecoboost. I am new to these turbo motors, but I have been noticing a few small issues that are bugging the crap out of me.
The biggest is that sometimes when the truck is cold, such as the mornings after it has sat all night. I will start it up, and begin to head out of my neighborhood. One one of the first few Stop signs/turns, I will go to hit the throttle, and there will be a very noticable delay in power, 2-3 seconds, before it bucks and takes off.
It will typically do this once or twice when it is cold, occasionally more. I get the feeling that sometimes when I go to throttle on a turn I will get this odd feeling that the truck is delaying or starving a bit before it takes off.
I also feel like possibly something in the rear end is sticking or clunking. It is noticable when you are slow rolling in stop and go traffic, or slowly coming to a stop, where it will sort of clunk or stick in the rear end.
Any suggestions? I took it to the dealer for these issues and they updated the computer, but I don't see a difference.

Just do it yourself, it's easy.
Try the throttle relearn and see if that fixes your throttle issue. Both of these problems have been answered/discussed numerous times before.
