290 on a 13, throttle body and 2 oxy sensors. Original engine and turbos. I did replace the garbage stock plugs with e3 plugs. I had misfire issues with brand new plugs. At around 100k from flooring it everywhere, my vehicle would go limp mode flash the check engine light then the light would good off a few minutes laters and drive fine. That might be his problem. Just replace all 6 and see what happens.

What you need to keep the turbos from heat soaking is a bigger intercooler not a bigger radiator. I put in a CVF intercooler in mine and night & day difference in keeping the intake air temps cold and retaining power. You should look into that, it's an easy install and you'll really feel the difference on hot days. When you're doing it, you may want to upgrade your blow-off-valve if you want to hear the blow off sound of your turbos. I have a video of it in my profile if you want to hear what it sounds like.

A larger “Intercooler” is what you need. Also you can set up a nos intercooler spray that keeps the air super cold for the turbos. Another trick is taking the auto intercooler temp flaps ( for a lack of the technical term) out to where there is always ambient air flowing through.

Ecoboost performance is amazing when tuned in comparison, but most people can't work on them due to the "plumbing" and complex issues of turbos. N/A is the way to go.

Ford dropped a fresh updated Eco block in it. And I've never had any problems. Yeah i had to replace the driver side turbo...later. Typical. My pony sounds Great. ZERO TUNE. Just intake and exhaust...as she was when I snagged it. Shes been in magazines and on the Addicted Desert Design Webpage. I'm lucky to have her. SHE'S MY WORK TRUCK.

I SUPPOSEDLY OWN ONE OF THE WORST GEN ECO F150s. 2013. BUT FORD HOOKED ME UP WITH THE UPDATED Long Block Assembly. 6in Procomp lift. 35s on 18s. THATS HOW SHE CAME. **Anyone whos read this far.

​@joshz7712 spark plugs aren't a difficult job to do. Gapping them isn't hard either. Also you shouldn't go as long on a set of plugs with eb as on a NA motor. Turbos are hard on plugs. I don't care what the plugs say they are good for. If you've gone 80 or 90k on plugs with these motors you went too long. They might drive just fine under normal conditions but under a load you will start having misfires.

I’m able to run a 50/50 mix of E85 and 93 octane, which further increases the performance due to the highly increased octane. The only problem I’ve had with the 5.0L is that I had to have the VCT intake solenoids replaced at 40K miles, but fortunately that fell under warranty. But, I’ve never had any issues with oil consumption. The exhaust sounds great too, with the Roush cat-back exhaust and the Roush Cold Air Intake. I’d highly recommend the 5.0L’s from 2018-2023 because they run great naturally-aspirated, and they can always be supercharged for even more power.

Look back through half ton truck history and lots of engines have issues v-8 or not. About the only one I have never heard a bad thing about is a Cummins, Duramax close second, old 7.2. Almost all had some issues. Not all parts and mechanics are the same. Some awesome, some not. Ecoboost is usually pushing or pulling much less weight so it's not putting the strain on the engine that people think. Towing or big payload yes it might strain it some but the Ecoboost engines were tested pretty intensely before they were put in a full size truck. A Toyota Tacoma weighs about 4000 lbs, an Ecoboost weighs a little more. A v-6 has no problem pushing a Tacoma at about 275 horsepower with zero turbos. So why would a truck that weighs a few hundred pounds more have issues with a better engine (arguably) and 2 turbos as far as engine strain is concerned that is. That's the argument I hear more than anything. That and the turbo maintenance. But if you're gonna buy a diesel, lots of those have turbos as well. I love your truck by the way. And don't get me wrong. Love a V8, I'm a Chevy small block kinda guy myself but both the 2.7 and 3.5 are great engines all things considered. In my opinion obviously

I had that issue with mine and it was condensation in the intercooler. If it’s hot outside the intercooler works too efficiently and produces condensation. The sudden surge of boost pulls the “water” into the engine fouling the spark plugs.

So I switched back over to the stock coils an plugs from ford an haven’t had anymore problems with it miss firing or burning up plugs anymore. from talking with a buddy that’s a Ford tech guy he even said most the problems they get in from miss firing an bad plugs are because of aftermarket plugs and coils. I asked him about the turbo line leaking an being replaced he said to change the oil around 4 to 5 thousand miles. Even when using full synthetic. Just because of the heat the turbos make It can cause burnt buildup in the turbo line so keeping up with the oil changes is very very important on the ecoboost engine.

I’d have to disagree that the 5.0 “out-tows” the Ecoboost. Yeah, the 5.0 will get better fuel mileage… because when the 3.5 gets into the turbos, it becomes thirsty… but this is why the MaxTow for the 3.5 Ecoboost is 14k lbs, and the MaxTow for the 5.0 is 11k lbs. I’ve owned both. 5.0 pulling 9k uphill, downshift to 7th gear and run 5500 RPMs - Same trailer, same load, same hill, same speed - the stock Ecoboost drops to 9th gear running 2400 RPMs. Two different animals, I guess it really comes down to what you prefer.

@@patrickthomas4646 Maybe you had the non turbo’d v6? Lol… I’ve owned both as well, a 10 speed V8, and a 10 speed 3.5 Twin-Turbo V6… the TT V6 is a better choice when towing and/or daily driver. People love to hate the Turbo’d trucks, because they’ve owned/never driven them. I’ll likely never go back to a NA V8, I miss the sound sometimes, but at the end of the day… they shit all over the NA V8s. That’s the truth. The future is forced induction v6 - or turbo diesel, but with turbo diesel you have to deal with DEF (unless deleted/ tuned). The sound that the v8 makes, and mpg while towing are the only things that are positive on the NA v8 vs twin turbo v6. The twin turbo v6 will tow better than the NA v8. That is a guarantee. Stock, or with a tune. The only way a 5.0 will tow as comfortably as a 3.5 is with a supercharger, and your looking at 8k-10k+ for that. Stock 3.5 Ecoboost with 1k vested gets you 500HP, 600 Ft-Lb torque at the wheel. I’m not knocking the 5.0… the 5.0 stock IN A ROLL RACE will slightly pull on a stock 3.5 Ecoboost. The 3.5 Ecoboost stock will pull on the 5.0 from a dig. Under load, the Ecoboost will pull much easier and more comfortable than the 5.0, and that’s the truth. Anyone with brains will know this. Thus is why an Ecoboost with 35s will be equivalent to a 5.7 hemi or even the 5.0 on 32s from 0-governor. The torque gets the truck moving to top speed much quicker because of the torque difference. I agree with the “Plan ahead when purchasing”… If you’re going to sink 10k+ into a handheld/ supercharger / tune, get the 5.0, and have a 700HP/ 600 Ft-Lbs Torque monster. If you’re going to throw 1k into a handheld/ tune… get the 3.5 Ecoboost and have 500HP/ 600 Ft-Lbs Torque monster. But just to let everyone know… If you get the Ecoboost… you’ll never have the sound of the v8. You probably won’t miss it very often tho. You have to change the oil more often in the Ecoboost vs 5.0 (because it’s constantly being rotated by the 5.0s oil consumption). Spark plugs need changed every 30k-40k miles on the Ecoboost (100 bucks every few years). If you tow, you’ll get worse fuel mileage than the 5.0 while towing. Empty, the 3.5 will get slightly better fuel mileage. Gen 2/3 Ecoboost has dual timing chains, it’s really not an issue like it was on the first Gen. Any truck you purchase, from any manufacturer, put a catch can on it. If you lift the truck, stock vs stock or tuned vs tuned, the NA vehicle will be slower. I still average 20mpg+ with my lifted 3.5 Ecoboost on 35s while driving on the highway. I’m not saying that one is better than the other, it’s all in what the buyer prefers. I can’t personally speak on longevity, as I never keep any vehicle past 100k miles… although I see a lot of 5.0s and Ecoboosts with 250k+ for sale in my area, and not a lot of GMs or Rams with 250k+ for sale.

I recently bought a 2023 F150 XLT FX4 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. I found the 400 Horsepower and 500 Lbs of Torque is more than enough power. I was a little concerned before I lifted it but to be honest it gets up and goes. Being a V8 guy for many years and test driving both, hands down I have to give it to the Ecoboost. If sound is important than hands down the V8 is better but I like my truck as quiet as I can get it. If you get a F250 having that warranty is such a must. I owned a 2006 and a 2017 F250 and on both the Warranty came in handy. Your videos are great. Keep making them.

Had a 2020 F150 XLT Sport 4x4 Crewmax 5.0 coyote. Burned 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of oil per 5000 miles. There was an issue with not having the cast iron cylinder liners in the engine. This caused excessive oil consumption. Did not happen on all of them. The main issue was 2018 to 2020. I never would have bought the 5.0 had I known of the issue before hand. I finally traded it for a 2023 with the 3.5 ecoboost. What a difference. The ecoboost blows away the 5.0 when it comes to performance in stock form! There is no comparison. I have only had the new truck for a few months but I can tell a huge difference in daily driving. It doesn't hunt for gears the way the 5.0 did on hills. I think the issues of the 5.0 are not as bad now but I have seen a few people comment that they have newer trucks than 2020 and still have oil consumption. I was just afraid to try it. I think before you buy one with a 5.0 you should drive one that is set up the way that you like. Would hate to see you get a 5.0 and make all the mods and then be dissatisfied with it. Good luck! You do a great job! I love your honesty and passion!

If you don't have a weep hole , you most likely sucking in water and oil vapor into the manifold. You hit the WOT and all of the crap in the intercooler get sent into the intake causing misfire.

Alright. Ford Dealer Master Tech of almost three decades here. First things first. We cannot corrupt a download file/tune that is installed on the PCM. If there is a tune on the vehicle we are completely locked out of the PCM. So that in itself is the reason to return it to stock before service, so that we have access if needed. Second thing. You are getting spark plug blow out with the aftermarket tune. The plug gap is too large due to worn plugs. The added boost pressure is overcoming the Spark. Spin a new set of plugs in it and retest. Third up. That’s a 2015 3.5 Ecoboost. Which is first generation. Second generation is 2017+. Phaser failure on 2016 and earlier first generation is much more rare than the second generation. It’s an absolute certainty with second Gen 3.5. They haven’t redesigned the part. So the same shitty phasers just keep getting swapped back in repeatedly. Your particular engine is prone to the coolant lines leaking. The other one absolutely will leak on the driver side. It can be replaced with out turbo removal on the driver side, unlike the passenger side. Also prone to Primary timing chain stretch, especially running a tune. Second generation 3.5 has two primary chains, one per bank, to combat this. Yours is just one really long primary chain. I don’t recommend running the tune all the time if you plan on keeping it. I see lots of them go boom. Usually broken piston skirts. The replacement cost is 12k

I blew one up the Pistons skirts failed just like you said but the tune was too aggressive it was from SSI running over 24 lb of boost.. I've been running an MPT hiboost PRX for almost five years now and this motor has well over two hundred k on it... The boost only spikes at about 18.6 PSI... Can't go back to stock way too slow!!

Honestly for a 1st gen 3.5 Ecoboost the best mod would be a water/meth injection kit. It would cool up the intake air temps while cleaning up the backsides of the intake valves. This would also increase the potential power gains, especially if you know a reputable person who can tune on a dyno. I know alot of people dont mind getting tunes VIA email, but having it tuned with the weather conditions at your location will really make it run better.

Sick ass truck though dude I think you should keep her for a while. Deisels are great and all but they are really messing them up these days with the emissions stuff. I think that is the only reason you see people going to great lengths to stick with gas. Other major factor is for me if your gonna put 37 inch tires on it then you should be doing some serious rock crawling. With a 6” lift and 37’s you’d do some serious shit out here in the Colorado Rockies.

If you add the ~$1250 upcharge of the eco when I bought it and all the money I'm gonna spend doing the coolant lines/ manifolds it just doesn't add up. God forbid I have to do the chains/ tensioners. If you must have the eco make sure you get the extended warranty for the highest mileage available. Another option I would not get is the moonroof. On my year model they break and are $$ to repair. Of course mine crapped out and luckily I was able to close it. I never really used mine either.

As a automotive Technician, never take your truck in for work on a tune. You never know when we may flash a update that may be due. If its modified and requires the tune for safety, always let the asm know so nothing gets flashed and damages your vehicle.

You may want to consider replacing your boost control module. I have a 2018 raptor with numerous mods and a tune, and mine would go into limp mode once it reached between 5000 and 6000 RPMs. I replaced the BCM, for $50 from Ford, and the truck was back to normal after that. Also, check the Hose clamps on your boost tubes. One of them may be just loose enough to start leaking air when you hit 18 to 20 psi.

Not to mention i was out of warranty. The popping my car did that too and the code it kept throwing was a misfire in cylinders 1 and 3 then it said cylinder 2 and 4. They changed the catalytic converter, the MAF sensor, etc and still could not find out what the issue was.

Sounds like spark blowout. This happens when your plugs wear to the point where your Gap is too far out of spec, and under the added pressure from boost, the stock coil pack can't bridge the larger Gap, and you get random misfires. Replacing your plugs and gapping them at spec will take care of spark blowout. Now keep in mind that you're tuned, your boost pressures are increased. I would talk with your tuner to make sure you don't need to go to a one-step colder plug and close the gap a little from OEM spec.

My experience with other turbo vehicle's led me to not being worried about it, but because its warrantied i wont touch it and the dealer is backed up over a month. Luckily she has a truck as well so its not a huge deal but if that was her only vehicle that would suck. I could probably have it done in 20 minutes but itd violate the warranty which sucks.
