Once you get to the point of experiencing misfires due to CAC condensation/emulsion build-up look me up.

Ford's been trying to find a solution, fix, for at least 3-4 years, now on their what, 5th effort/trial?

Drill a hole.....

Thanks wwest, I've been reading up on this issue and finding a lot of info on it on an F150ecoboost forum I just recently joined..

When I bought my 97 F150 and started doing this "interweb stuff" I was scared to death that I just sunk a butt load of $$ into a POS truck from what I was reading on it... ;)

After some 255,000 miles with it, I got lucky I guess.. I've got even more of a butt load of $$ in the 13 Eco so I'm doing my homework and finding out what I can and going to decide from there what the next step is.. That "RX CAN" mod seems to be what resolves the condensation issue so that will probably be what I look into first if I experience the issue..

All I can say is that on my first real 'tow test' with MY F150, I didn't have that issue and I was into the turbos on those passes to Wenatchee a lot.. (I took the scenic route thru Quincy just because I like it. But, I'll probably take 97 out of Cle Elem just because it has more grades next time! :)

I'll post up some "information center" pics that I took coming home today a bit later, as I've got to find them on the camera! ;)

Being "ON BOOST" often enough prevents the build up of enough condensation to "choke" the engine.

There you go!! You just solved your problem. Stay in the boost and you have nothing to worry about! Almost 3yrs of ownership with my 2011 with 41,000miles. Not a single hiccup.. Sorry you got stuck with a lemon but why don't you let the poor guy enjoy his new truck for god sakes!! Do you honestly think this condensation issue is that WIDE SPREAD?? Looking at the sales #'S OF THE ECOBOOST it certainly doesn't seem that way....
