Intercooler?

[Bhollier]

Just don't forget the 11/16" weep hole

I am curious, who here has done this? I went back and researched the topic and came to the conclusion that the moron that suggested it has no ******* clue what he is talking about. Just pulled random ******** off the internet. I have had no less than 6 tubro vehicles and none have had a weep hole drilled in the intercooler and have no issues with moisture.

Right. that was sasquatch77. It got banned and it re-registered several id’s, the current one sasquatch77 trolls on is “MGD”. Trolling and rumor mongering is all this thing is capable of

This was an issue on 11-14 3.5 ecoboost engines and Ford issued a few TSBs to fix. The problem was that while driving, the ambient air and the intercooler air were so drastically different (intercooler worked very well) that moisture formed inside while driving. When the driver needed to accelerate quickly and get into boost, the water was forced through blowing out spark. Ford had so many complaints that the government got involved and ford added intercooler blockoff plates and changed the computer tune. They found this was not a true solution, and it seems they are still working it out. There are some reports of this on the 15+ Ecoboost, but not as common.
Since the Ford design/fix was not fully solving the problem, owners drilled a small 1/16” weep hole which evacuated the crap inside the intercooler on acceleration. This fixed the problem every time and became a staple for owners. I think this fix was devised in 2013/2014 and is well known. Skeptics can’t believe anyone would want to create a boost leak, but it was proven to be a very, very minimal boost leak. It never caused any mechanical or performance problems. For these new trucks, I would not drill the weep hole - force ford to fix any misfire or acceleration shudder/vibration.

What do you do for a living?

Employment?

Job?

What’s your level of education?

Are you old enough to vote?

We all want to know.

Assuming this is true...

Why do you troll the forums with a mixture of fact, fiction and bias about a platform you don’t own?

I’m confused. I’d like to understand you more....

Perhaps we shouldn’t assume you have psychological pathology...

Perhaps we should just ask....

Why do you do what you do? Maybe there is a reasonable explanation.

Do you work for a competing product line?

I work in consumer products - not automotive.

When I bought my raptor, I went back and forth between gen 1 and gen 2. After all the things I read about the ecoboost, I was not willing to risk my money on it. Sadly, what I read about is what many here are experiencing. I am glad I made the right choice.

 

[nikhsub1]

weep hole.

 

[Guy]

Why do you constantly lie about having a stable of vehicles.

It’s constantly changing.

You post stock photos of an old raptor off of the internet and pretend to own it.


That’s the part I’m not understanding.


You don’t own a gen 1 either. You’re a liar.
