WRT intercooler leaking, try: https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/004898.html https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/002654.html https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/002571.html https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/000994.html


Good luck!

P.S. - I took my only mod (Superchip) out before I took it in. Dealer did a good job getting it replaced.

Call SVT and ask them how many replacement intercoolers have had to be shipped to dealerships. I know its over 300.

300 out of 8750 trucks? Not as bad as it sounds all the time I imagine then.

Almost a 4 percent failure rate on the intercoolers! That is pretty serious...Firestone is doing a recall on a tire that has a fraction of 1 percent failure rate. If the intercooler was causing a safety issue on the vehicle, you could be sure it would have been a recall issue...

Shopping for my Lightning
Gotta have one!

 

Also have to consider that these vehicles have not been in service that long and probably for not much mileage. Some are still unsold, with no mileage. I say the jury is still out on this one. My example is 13 months of service and 9000 miles. I think my local SVT dealer have five unsold Lightnings on his lot right now.
