Sucks to be you. Mine has been flawless for the 2 years that I've owned it.

Have you considered an aftermarket intercooler, that might save you so much bitterness for a few coins. Yes Ford should step up and truly fix it, but its not going to happen.

I got the newier IC and pretty sure its lost some oomph, and slower to respond to the throttle than before. The time will come when I too will switch over to an aftermarket.....Just to save possible bitterness

Cheers,
Greg

I don't think it's going to fix my mileage(12mpg) or the caliper that keeps dragging

Have you replaced or at least gapped the spark plugs to .30-.33?

Yep I did that right after the last tsb update because it was still misfiring. It no longer misses but my mileage is crap

I broke down and ordered the SCT tuner last night. Hopefully this corrects all of the issues I'm having with my truck.
