Exclamation Ecoboost warning!!!

According to an official Ford TSB #12-24, DO NOT HANG A CHRISTMAS WREATH OR A RUDOLPH NOSE ON THE GRILLE OF ANY VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE! They will reduce the airflow across the intercooler and the transmission oil cooler causing simultaneous failure of the entire powertrain. It will of course void all warrantys even the warrantys of other unrelated items like your cordless drill.

This does not apply to the 3.7, 5.0 or the 6.2 equipped models. The folks with those engines probably have dorky antlers attached to their side windows.

Now that I have your attention, let there be 2 days...just 2 days with no engine bickering. Just share the good things about your truck and above all else....

HAVE A SAFE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

I put a nose and antlers on mine and the damn thing took off for the North Pole! That is one strong engine. 5.0 and 6.2 owners gazed in wide wonder.

Merry Christmas everyone.
