Interesting.

What does Chrysler have to do with catastrophic Ford brake failure?

I've had one. Reprogram deal so no biggie. Otherwise no issues at all.

I'm almost tempted to unblock Fish to get his take on this but I'll pass. Blocking him was the best thing I did.

Hopefully none of the F150s with bad brakes also has the missing safety structure that Ford left off to save a few bucks. Could be a bad combo...

Fish is ok... he's just misguided. He can't accept the fact Ferd is the number 1 truck seller in N.A. because people keep buying them to find one that actually does as advertised. :B

And it's only 2013-2014 EcoB models.
My 2011 is unaffected for some reason.
They made some small mods to the intercooler IIRC, but the brakes?

Speculation here...could heat from the turbos cause damage to the MC? On edit...I don't think that's possible!
