I would do it as long as they put in writing they will share the results with you.
I find it interesting they are having Roush do the work. Almost like Ford is trying to keep it off the corporate books. They might also be looking for an outside company to help them get their tune straight.

It is odd why Ford isn't using one of their company trucks.
They must have a bunch of Ecoboost trucks in their inventory, why use someone else's?

They want to rent your truck for $10 a day so they can hammer the throttle for hours at a time? I'd tell them to pound sand.

Not quite, they want to take your $40-60k truck, pay you $10/day to hammer the crap out of it on a dyno...oh and toss in $15k rental car. Yeah, I'd pass on that, unless roush is gonna install some parts on my truck and maybe do a nice custom tune. Upgraded turbos and exhuat would catch my interest!

I'd let them do it. They break it, it's on them.

no way

Ford has as many trucks as they would like to deal with this issue. It appears to me that they may want your truck because it is know to haw the issue. But for me that's not worth it we already know they have a hard time figuring out how to fix the condensation issue. Hell with as much as they are covering the intercoolers they could just remove them completely. Lol!

More than likely they are not using their trucks because they want useful data. That requires randomization of the sample population.

First they decide what they want to test, make a list of applicable vehicles, then randomly select from that list to represent the whole sample.

It is really basic statistics. Using only their trucks would provide horrible data and would be statistically meaningless (though it could be quite valid, too).

I called Roush. They say its got nothing to do with any issue. It's a way to gather data to inform the EPA that they are living up to their mileage claims. That's why there is a third party.

Since I have the issue, and my mileage sucks, I'm even more inclined to help. Maybe it'll help get them to do something for all of the other owners.

I would find out how many miles they plan on putting on your truck. If they are doing a MPG test it might be a lot to get some good data. Like someone else stated ask to see if you are going to see the test results for your truck as well as the entire test.
