I for one have had no problems with my 2013 Eco, rain or shine.

Had mine since the 11's came out and have not had issue. Not to say that it would not display the problem if I lived in a certain region with a certain weather condition or drove a certain style but I think it's more of a combination that does not apply to many.

I do have one of those grills in the gaping hole in the bumper that everyone swore would blow up my the turbos, void the warranty, make Gorbachev tear down those walls (oh wait, that already happened) but maybe it helps?

It sure would not prevent me from buying again.

That's good to hear and I wish you the best. What is your build date, and could you possibly check to see what part number your CAC is?

While it is good to hear reports of problems/no problems, it still doesn't give us a concrete answer: Did TSB 12-10-19 (p/n BL3Z-6K775-B) truly fix the problem? If so, what is different between this and what is coming on the later model 2013's from the factory? Are later build 2013's still part of the problem?

I would be happy with guys posting part #'s on there new CAC that Ford is putting in the 11's,12's and some 13's versus the part numbers that are in the 13's post 9/18/12 build date to be able to see if there the same or different. Too many posts about TSB's,BOV's this part, that flash, new coil,regap plugs, new CAT's, and so on and so on...There must be someone who can list the proper part#'s for what the dealers are installing on the older F150's versus the new 2013 F150's. This would help the guys who are on the fence about the Ecoboost engines. I was this way when I bought my bass boat back in 08, you can choose your engine and I liked the new ETEC engines, but as more and more guys were having lower unit and powerhead issues and being ETEC's were the Ecoboost of the day back then (new Technology for Evinrude),, I chose to go with the tried and true Yamaha HPDI because it was proven engine.

So the DL34 P/N is what most of the later trucks seem to have from the factory.

Does anyone have an 11 or 12 without the TSB applied? Would be interesting to see which P/N that is.

I have an 12 that was built around late June or early July of 12. No TSB's applied as it hasn't been back to the dealer since I took it home (likely won't ever).. I'll try and get my P/N once it warms up enough to crawl under the truck.

Thanks Ecobeest. That should at least finally determine if the parts were changed from 11/12 to 13.

The second part we'll have to figure out is where the P/N from the TSB comes in. So here's where we stand now:

Latest TSB 12-10-19: BL3Z-6K775-B
2013 Factory (Dec build): DL34-9L440-AC
2012 Factory part: <unknown>

Instead of DL, mine reads. BL3Z-6K775-B. and mine just had the latest TSB done to it with the Deflector shield as well! Mine is a 2012 XLT ecoboost!

Toddman, Are you saying that the part # you got listed is what is on your new Intercooler they put on your truck?
