EBOV VTA done right

[smurfslayer]

Yup, it’s definitely using a robot or some kind of auto-reply.

Irrelevant to the discussion as it has not been proven to affect the 2017-18 and up Raptors.

but you didn’t answer any questions. and come on, you can do better than ‘stupidity’ and ‘lack of cognitive thinking’. Seriously, if this is all you can do, my FRF brothers and sisters will think less of me.

What’s the matter, cat got your fingertips?

so, you’re doing a water crossing, and since you have positive pressure, no problem right? Until you stall. then what?

But let’s get back to it, shall we?

So, why do you continue to troll the Gen 2 subforums with what seems to be a pretty blatant attempt to convince someone to lose the warranty on their new trucks? BTW - you have yet to address this point.

1: Gen 2 owners do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines. Read it again. Now, read it again. Repeat as needed until you actually understand.

2) The 2017-2018 trucks are not suffering from this affliction, whether you want to admit it or not. No amount of trolling is going to work.

3) Your preferred narrative will not prevail. Read this again.

4) Gen 2 owners do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines.

5) You have gone back on your statements no less than half a dozen times in this thread. I’ve done my best to illustrate them, because I know you’re suffering from multiple personality disorder and affects not only how you type, but what you type. But I want to be sure that I am on the correct side of this
- you saying I am a smart guy actually hurts my FRF cred. So, I need you to be clear that I am dumb as a box of rocks, narrow and closed minded, unwilling to accept your ... opinions and so on. so please clarify what your opinion of my level of intelligence is.

6) if your argument / opinion had merit, you would see people jumping up and down on your side and blasting away at me. Your argument lacks merit - see points 1-5. If your argument, point - what is your point by the way? Nevermind - if it had any merit whatsoever, the opinion would stand by itself.

here are some examples
Raptor 3.5TT is more powerful than the previous 6.2L V8. This fact stands on its own.

Raptor 3.5TT is more powerful than standard F150 3.5TT. This fact stands on its own merit as well.

6.2L Raptor makes a great audio soundtrack. Not as good as the GT350, but pretty good. This fact stands on its own merit ( sure some will take offense at a Mustang sounding better but, if you heard them at Raptor Assault, you would agree ).

The F150 Raptor is the preeminent COTS, production off road vehicle. Ford sells every one of them and then some. The demand for the Raptor is as never before, as with every previous year of Raptor. Again, this stands on its own


In stark contrast to the aforementioned facts that stand on their own merit, your assertion that owners of Gen 2 Raptors should drill a hole in the charge air cooler to “fix” a “problem” that doesn’t exist in the truck, is argumentum ad absurdum.

7) We just do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines.

8) since you have gone back on numerous assertions, just in this thread, it is hard to keep track of where you stand now. I think we are at - weep hole is not EPA approved, Ford does not acknowledge or sanction, you cannot prove it is only EPA that prevents Ford from sanctioning, you refuse to admit the 2017-2018 trucks don’t have the misfire, but no matter what, you will change your argument in the next post.

9) You are arguing solely for the purpose of arguing and even if I and all the other posters in here acquiesced to your absurd recommendations, you would find something to argue about or nit pick about the Raptor, which you hate.

10) I think we can now safely dispense with the charade. You are sasquatch77, mcnawsty, mgd. and sasquatch78. It’s ok to admit it now, I am not bothered by this, neither are the admins or moderators. Last time they messaged me they made it clear that you would not be banned for duplicate registrations. At least do us the courtesy of acknowledging this. I have dealt with you fairly, and addressed your points. I have treated you with respect, and still you argue this pointless jihad. admit you are sasquatch77 and all the rest of your aliases here.

11) Did I forget to mention that Gen 2 owners do not care about your opinion on drilling the charge air cooler on ecoboost engines? I think I did.

12) I am puzzled why you want me to interrogate my mechanic at the Ford dealer who does my Raptor service on drilled CAC issues. Why would I do this, I asked, he answered. End of story on this ( probably not the best choice of phrases, but it is ) What about this do you find hard to understand.

13) H#ll, you won’t read past 1.


^^^^^

Now it’s just speculating. I can speculate too

@MGD / @Sasquatch77 - You will be banned from FRF some time soon. It will be introduced as a 2018.5 software upgrade here.

We will like the new feature, as it will be much better.

End of story on this.

 

[MGD]

Someone should have taught you growing up to be open minded. It is amazing you disregard the proof of years of ecoboost ownership across the web and you arrogantly say no.

 

[smurfslayer]

someone should have taught you manners !
It is amazing that you continue to troll the Gen 2 section of FRF with bad advice that is irrelevant to the discussion as it has not been proven to affect the 2017-18 and up Raptors and has been demonstrated to jeopardize the factory and extended warranty.

You continue to troll and argue in a circle, but at least you admitted you cannot provide any original source proof.

That might be fine for you, but you can't dispute the ecoboost builds water. The go-to option for owners is to drill the 1/16" weep hole in the intercooler. Fixes the engine misfires and will not void warranty.

 

[smurfslayer]

Smurf - this will affect your truck at some point.

Sasquatch77 has FINALLY admitted the misfire doesn’t affect the 2017-18 Ecoboost Raptors.

see number 12, asked and answered, does void the warranty, despite you lying about this point. One by one, all your assertions are falling. see number 8.

On your truck = yours specifically. I see reading comprehension is not your forte.

 

[smurfslayer]

This fix you are prescribing is meaningless to 2017+ Raptor owners because they do not suffer from the misfire condition.

it is high time you admit this.

Thanks for proving that you are a paranoid nut case. Your obsession on Sasquatch is fairly scary. Go get yourself some beef jerky and chill out... And, think for once. You have one data point. I have the entire internet as data points. Win. You cannot go wrong with the weep hole as preventative maintenance.

 

[smurfslayer]

I meant to ask, is this too much for you to read? I can break it up into individual posts. It’s big progress that you finally admitted this boogeyman misfire condition doesn’t affect 2017-2018 trucks, but you need to address the other points.

Any one have an extra weep hole I can borrow?
