I may in left field here...but has any tried Billet Grille Grill Insert in the air dam? It might redirect the air or rain slightly? It seems the new models have grill insert. I've been running one in my 2013 for cosmetic reasons. There were those that stated maybe this cuts into performance, I haven't noticed it with mine. I installed mine with 2 wing nuts so I can take it out in 2 to 3 mins easy.
Maybe worth a try...any thoughts

I just had the reflash to the latest calibration last week. Unfortunately, between the time they changed my CAC to the latest and put the shrouds on and now, the left cat has plugged. The tech told me he would take the shrouds off when he put the cat on. But he did re-flash it for me and I can tell you with the re-flash I now have my power back (I've got a lot of low end boost now which had disappeared) and my MPG has raised about 2.5 MPG on a frequent 120 mile trip I take. I've got 77k on mine. I expect with the cat replaced I'll see better gas mileage. I"m certainly happy with the truck. I use it in my business, and it's been a good one for two years. And I do run the crap out of it. Maybe thats the secret. I bought it for the boost (and because it would carry my stuff without breaking the springs) and not the eco. For a full size 4X4 I don't think you can beat it. I know you can't from a standing start

I wanted to give it plenty of time before I said anything. I had the CAC done at the beginning of April and drove in the rain many times since and I can honestly say my truck has been 100% better.annndddd My gas milage and power has not suffered. My gas milage greatly greatly depends on how I drive it! If I want good gas milage I have to work at it. I've seen 23.5 at 60 mph but is hard to drive that speed my average the way I drive is about 17mph. not bad for a crewcab in my opinion.

So went out through a pasture today. 2013 FX4 EB Supercrew. Some small to medium water pools, but nothing I haven't driven through in the rain on country roads. Leaving and pulling back onto blacktop I hear a funny "whine" instead of the usual clean pull of the turbo's through my afe stage II intake. Shortly after I get a check engine light. Ran my OBD reader on it and gives code P0299 saying "Turbo A is underpressured". Truck runs, no smoke, but is markedly reduced on power. Anyone have prior experiences?

Its a shame when a man quits on his truck.
My 2011 Ford F150 Platinum EB has been a DREAM of a truck. I purchased it second hand from a reputable dealership . It had 56,000 miles on it and drove like a wet dream. I instantly had to start enhancing upon her AWESOMENESS. In the short couple of months I have owned this truck, I have installed Solo Catted downpipes, BBK TrottleBody, FullRace TB Spacer with nozzles, TurboSmart BOV's, AFE Stage2 CAI ,FullRace Cat-back non resonated exhaust, and sound system that words can't describe.
I can't picture anyone spending the kinda money I spent just to enhance its Awesomeness if they didn't think it was going to last them for years to come and that it was worth the investment if you enjoy the go fast behind the petal.
People have misfortune in there lives at one time or another. Well it's the same with auto manufacturers. No one thing or person is perfect. I like to think my EB is nearing perfection one upgrade at a time.

Well,why don't you guys try installing the diablo sport tuner..it will increase the boost keeping the CAC a little hoter,and most likely dry up any water your getting caused by the CAC either working too well in wet,or humid conditions...
Because if you think about it thats what is really happening the condensation is being produce due to the temperature drop,but due to the design it allow moisture to build up inside the CAC.. I would think thats all the dealer is doing,just now where as much as of a increase...
Anyway either that post ads to buy CAC from those that replace there's with a aftermarket design.....
My friend had a issue with the lose of power,but after installing a tuner the issue went away,and has never came back...
