[QUOTE="Droppintwins, post: 15181373, member: 140902"] [FONT=Arial] Yeah Idk what to think. Overall I have alot of respect for livernois motorsports. (it was their tune). This was livernois motorsports response when I contacted them on the issue: Dan, I am very sorry to hear this. We have never had any failures related to our tuning to be honest. There are some well known issues with these engines that have caused catastrophic failures which are primarily situations where the throw a rod threw the block during a sudden acceleration condition such as merging onto a freeway or passing some one on the freeway from a steady cruise. This is a condensation problem that Ford has multiple TSBs for but no proven solution unfortunately. There is a ton of information and stories regarding these failures on the web and actually sites that are groups of people trying to go after the manufacturer for lemon laws and things of that nature because of the repeated engine failures they have experienced on bone stock trucks. Feel free to shoot us a good time and number you could be reached if you would like and we can give you a call to discuss this further. Here is some additional information regarding this condensation issue below that explains the typical failures Ford has seen more in depth. The only failure we have heard of currently is directly related to a well known and documented condensation issue on the 2011-2014 models. Ford has a TSB out for this known problem. The problem stems from the Charge Air Cooler (CAC). After it passes through the turbocharger, air is cooled by the CAC before it enters the engine. The Ford F150 EcoBoost is experiencing a buildup of condensation (moisture) in the air intake tube. If the driver suddenly accelerates, such as passing a vehicle or merging onto an interstate, the sudden change in the air flow rate through the CAC causes the engine to vacuum up all of the moisture inside of the air intake tube. If the amount of condensation that is vacuumed from the air intake tube is small, the vehicle will shudder. However, if the engine vacuums in a significant amount of condensation it can cause the engine to hydro lock and either bend a rod or throw a rod through the block. I would ask them exactly what failed on the engine and also if your truck had been brought in for service updates to correct this condensation issue. We have not had any failures that were caused by our tuners Thank you Regards, Anthony[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
