Drilling a weep hole is not really damaging your vehicle, and pretty easily remedied if it did cause an adverse effect I would think.
If I was unlucky enough to experience this issue I would definitely at least consider it.
"If it needed it Ford would do it" is not really an argument because of the environmental implications, ridiculous as they may be.
(Did I just feed a troll???)
Nah, you made a cogent correction. I’ll amend as follows
believing sasquatch77’s false narrative and falling for his lies will lead people to perform an action that compromises their warranty, for what amounts to an assertion that is, as of yet completely unproven to negatively affect the 2017 Raptor, and for that matter 2015+ 3.5tt engines. He knows this is the case and continues to lie. What is his/her motivation here along with his/her other FRF accounts? Have you noticed how many times he likes posts when owners of the 2017+ Raptor have problems, even non engine problems that he/she claims to be “trying to help” and it is “guaranteed to fix”?
This poster is a Ford hater with serious mental health problems who needs psychiatric help. I sincerely hope he/she gets that help.
I’ll disagree about the need argument and green concerns. Ford’s patented a closed cold side BOV ( I think that’s the right term here ) to accumulate condensation, it was part of the previously linked google docs in another thread. That was also pre ’15, but I wonder if it was close enough to the ‘15+ engine that they considered it or even test muled it. What would it cost for such a mod by way of parts, cost to vehicle and maintenance concerns? I would venture not a whole lot. If anything I would think their test fleet didn’t encounter the issue so they figured, not a needed cost. Ford is pretty thorough about their truck testing, but even they will miss stuff. They’re not putting a significant enough statistical sample out there to represent the number of F150s sold to the customer base. No manufacturer can afford that.
