I experienced this issue for the first time in '12 FX4 EB last week on a rainy 50 degree drive. After cruising on the interstate in the rain for about 2 hours, I swung into the passing lane to go around a car and was doing about 70. I hit the gas to pass and completely lost power while I noticed the tranny dropped to 4th gear and the RPM's spiked to 4-5K. It then started slowing down and shuddering at around 60 MPH. I coasted awhile and was later able to resume speed. Fortunately I had read about the issue here and wondered if it would happen as this was my first long drive in steady rain. There were never any warning or check engine lights that appeared on the dash. I tried to re-create the issue the next day on the drive back home but it was a clear sunny day and the truck ran fine. My truck was manufactured the end of May and I had 3,500 miles on it at the time. I have the deflector shield and I also have a grille in the IC bumper hole. Scary. Guess I'll have the dealer check it when I get my oil changed here soon.

How are they supposed to get the ECO right when they can't stop a leaky 3rd brake light!!

I'd love a gander at the "new improved IC". I wonder what changed.....

Where would the build date on the window sticker be at? I've got a copy of the 2013 Ecoboost I'm looking at trading for and I want to know if ill be affected.

At the top middle of the window sticker there is a spot that says blend, with number over it. Mine says 220121002 = build date of 10/02/2012

I then presumably have the newer style CAC. I will have to park brother in laws next to mine this weekend and take pics of each. I do know the top 1/3 has a blocking plate, you can see that when you open the hood.

mine says 220120914... Sept 14, 2012???

willieboy

^ That is correct.

Some you guys need to read and study up on the traction control system and how it works on your truck. The TC work like it's designed to work. There is most likely nothing wrong with your truck if I understand your situation correctly.
