I bought my truck only a few months ago and wanted to know when they starting updating the STC fittings at the dealer. I noticed in the stack of receipts that came with the truck that the STC fitting was replaced at the dealer. I have to check the date when i get home, but i believe it was replaced only a couple of years ago.

I think right after all the engine design changes went into effect in January 2006 (STC fitting, 20mm head dowels, turbo oil drain and feed pipes, turbo unison ring... etc).

copy that. Are there any tell tale symptoms of a leaky fitting?

no start condition when hot

could also completely die going down the road if it lets go completely

mine was replaced about 15,000 miles ago/3 years. You think Ford replaced it with the updated fitting?
