That's your boogey. Better go get It checked.

I'll be sure to vote in a few weeks after mine gets installed. I really hope nothing wrong happens I've been getting great gas mileage averaging about 18 18 1/2 sometimes even getting 24 miles a gallon on the highway on long trips with FX4 crew cab.

I'm not sure whether my shift was fixed or hurt. When shifting from 1st to 2nd, mine sometimes slams into gear and makes a noticable lurch. I was wondering whether it was from the brake not releasing fully when I let off it (say slowing down in a parking lot to ease through a ditch) or whether it is the tranny itself. Did not notice that before TSB reflash. Anyone else have the hard shift in low end?

Go get your old CAC installed and with a pen drill drill a weep hole in a low part.

All turbos have problems with condensation after they get large enough and under the right climate and loading conditions.

Case in point: here is a 700 hp Subaru tuning problem: http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f121...uestion-30146/

Here the CAC is icing up under certain loading and weather conditions.

Stock turbo VWs have fits CAC condensation in some parts of our country.

Well Houston Ford Guy I'll tell you what. I had the update put on mine and have had absolutely no more problems. I drove it to Myrtle Beach last week in the rain, and tried to get it to screw up again. Couldn't do it. Coming from Ohio and back I got 18.9 MPG driving 65 to 70 MPH with cruise set most of way down and back. I've driven it 800 miles since then, and still getting 18.9 to 19.6 at 65 MPH.
And for foose150, son you must not know how to stomp a pedal. When I stomp mine down to pass or just to have fun, that thing will shift all the way down to 3rd some times, 4th others, you hear the doooo-wooooop and then all you have to do with mine is hang on and steer it the right way. I don't think a comparable size V8 could put any more of your head into the head rest than this little turbocharged V6 does.
I was pissed when it had problems, but Ford fixed it, and I did not lose gas milage or power.
I will tell you that in February I was getting 16 MPG where today I'm getting 18, and I think a lot of that has to do with weather.
My suggestion to those who got a lemon or think this truck is a loser....get rid of it! Get you something your happy with.....if you can find anything.

Had intercooler BL3Z*6K775*B along with the deflector CL3Z*19E672*A installed today. Work order notes: "Customer states vehicle misfires under load" Tech notes: "Checked for TSB and SSM found TSB 13-3-3, replaced intercooler and deflector, reprogrammed PCM, Test drove ok" I will be taking a long trip this weekend and will report back next week with mileage, downshifting characteristics, and if I notice any misfires.

I had mine done 2 months ago. I say problem fixed. I have been in warm weather as well driving. I also seem to have picked up a litttle better mpg's. Went from getting 17 now im getting 18.2. Tons of stop and go traffic here in Maryland. But since they did rhe work I have lost the shift indicator on the dash that says what gear im in

Hit the "+" on your manual shift button (on the shift rod) and the gears will come back up on the screen

Since I had the above done 2 weeks ago I've logged around 800-900 miles of mixed highway and city driving with both rainey and dry conditions and I have to say I have had zero problems with the slight miss since the CAC was replaced and PCM was re-programmed. My gas mileage today is a combined 18.6 which is better than where it was prior to me bringing it in and will get low 20's under perfect conditions on the highway. The only thing I notice a little more now is when I first start it in the morning it does seem to sputter just a little, but after a few seconds it's gone. As far as power goes, I can say there has been no loss of power. Yesterday I lined up with my buddies 2008 6.6L Duramax (365hp-660 lb-ft torque) We were was neck and neck and if I had not broken the back tire loose when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear..I think the victory would have went to the blue oval. So, for now unless something else changes I can't complain about my truck. Hopefully the rest of you guys get your more major issues resolved as well.

I've had the latest TSB done. Replaced CAC, left side cat and flash. Haven't been able to get it to go in to limp mode again. So, that seems fixed. But I still have shuddering and hard shifts. Also notice a drop in power since the TSB. But my fuel mileage is great. 22-24 on the highway. I average about 19 overall.
