intercooler tsb

[Tsgs69400]

I had found the tsb for the issue of building up moisture in the intercooler and was wondering how many people had this issue. Mine has all the symptoms. has anyone else had this performed?
This is the tsb:

FORD:
2008-2009 F-Super Duty

ISSUE:

Some 2008-2009 F-Super Duty 250-550 vehicles equipped with a 6.4L diesel engine and built before 10/1/2008 may exhibit significant amounts of white smoke from the exhaust pipe while driving in high humidity or rainy conditions at temperatures above 40 °F (4 °C). This smoke only appears during a moderate to full throttle tip-in that is performed after a period of steady state driving.
ACTION:

Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

I just had mine changed last saturday

[Tsgs69400]

Did it help any? people told me that it reduced the turbo lag. I am in the process of making a list of things that I want to get fixed before my warranty expires.

[strokinpower]

I cant really tell a difference in lag but I havent driven on the highway in the rain yet but im fairly confident that it will have corrected the issue. Im also having something replaced in the a/c system there is a TSB on it as well. A good idea is to find a list of all the TSB's and look through them and see if you have any of the problems and then explain to the dealership exactly the symptoms of the TSB and they will most likely fix any issues.

[Tsgs69400]

That is exactly what I am doing. I figure if i give them the print outs of the tsb's they have less excuses to not perform the work.

Open up your drivers side door and there is a sticker that should have a manf. date. that will tell you when your truck was made. From the beginning of production of the 2008 models in January 2007 until the July 4th summer break in 2007, the trucks were all Job 1 trucks. Since January, 2008, we have been under Job 3 of the 2008 model year.

Your build date is on the sticker on the drivers side door. I can't remember when the job #'s are but it's based off the build date. Run a search on here on how to find job #. I hate it when people tell people to just search instead of repeating an answer but I just can't remember.

[mor4wd]

I found it for you.

job 1 is anything before 8/07 and job 2 is 8/07 to 12/07 job 3 is 1/08 to whenever they started on the 09's

I may be wrong, but I thought that if you had an issue that was addressed in a TSB it doesn't matter if the warranty is expired or not. My last truck was a 95 Dodge 12V that had an open TSB on it for the spring perches. The dealer fixed it for free under the TSB even though I had 250,000 miles on it. Does anybody know if this applies to Ford?
