I did power steering pump and brake lines too.

Gaaaaaawwwwwww just when you think you got something under control.

Yes I have seen them, but like I said before is it being caused by another underlying issue? (ie lack of maintenance, fuel quality, excessive idle time) I am not disputing the fact that people experience this issue. I just have a hard time believing that Ford has done nothing to remedy the concern if it is a design flaw causing this issue. Saying every ecoboost owner has done this is a false statement, obviously. If you have ever worked as a mechanic, especially at a dealership you would realize alot of concerns brought to the dealer are caused by irregular driving habits such as adaptive learn on transmission. We had guys coming in every couple weeks so we could reset the KAM on their vehicle because of shifting problems. Not everyone experienced this but it is possible, just like the condensation build up. I know guys that have done the weep hole and it absolutely works, although it whistles and makes a mess under the vehicle. But I prefer to fix the actual root cause of the problem.

The underlying issue of condensate buildup in the intercooler is that it is too efficient. Ford realized that and added blockoff plates and detuned the engine. Still didn't work! The only fix is the weep hole. The masses figured out the weep hole was the fix and no more service trips. Try it - you will love it!

If you do the gas tank first and let all the fluid build up drain, it renders all other weep holes redundant.

Work smarter, not harder.

There can never be to many weep holes....

What for? I haven't had issues with either my 2013 or gen 2.

Oh, you will.

Oh, you will.

When? You have all of the answers. This is a photo of the temp. And humidity as of 9:30 tonight at my home. It's cooler and about 15% less humidity than it has been for the last week. If you can rub your magic 8 ball and tell me when my motor is going to misfire for condensate building up, i.e.; what time date and mileage it will happen. That way when it does happen it might not be you that I pull out in front of and you get killed from not being able to see my weak tail lights and there will be no stream of oil and water on the ground to give it away. Just saying, you always have the answer!

Hahaha, yeah I am sure after 4 years my 13 will just magically start to act up. A couple of my good friends are still working at different dealers in different cities and both told me it affects only a handful of vehicles. Mostly higher mile guys. I could care less who wants to drill a hole in their intercooler. I just can't understand why you care so much.

The answer is that you never know when it will build condensate... the weep hole takes care of it for you. Why in the world would you not want to do this?

Thats some high humidity still! Damn! Probably like 24% here
