Based on the videos I've seen, there are lots - it works in humid areas. Yes you probably have water in your motor. I'd drill the hole, change the oil. And drive the truck through a tank.

This will 99% fix it. The reason Ford can't do it is because it wouldn't pass an environmental test. They need a better solution for high humid areas.

..and if this works, tell Ford to **** off and we probably all owe Sasquatch some kind of dumb apology.

I live in a very humid area, haven't had it happen yet but if it does, I'll probably do the weep hole.

It's a 100% humidity here all the time

You haven't had it yet... But you will...if you live in a humid area anyways.
Condensation/water kills iridium plugs (i assume they have them stock) just a matter of time.
Not sure why iridium is so temperamental to water, but "normal" plugs are much more resilient.
So if it didn't come with them, don't put them in

It takes more than just humidity for condensation to form in the intercooler.
Over on f150forum.com (where the weep hole was created) it was explained like this: Condensation forms when the dew point is the same as ambient temperature.

So wouldn't one think that drilling some kind of whole that one could then place a **** in that could be sealed off after the drain was done would be the ultimate solution? I get that there maybe condensation but just rolling around with a hole in the cooling circuit like a bandaid fix

And no..I will apologize to Sackquatch!

The intercooler makes the condensation while driving... it has to vent to atmosphere to prevent any issues.

Following. Hope you still the hole and post your results. We will all thanks you!!!
