  1. 2nd Gen F150 Ecoboost
    So I've had a good amount of white smoke on cold start for a couple years but assumed it was condensations/typical EB stuff and forgot about it. Also, lived in the PNW so moisture was off the charts. Moved to a drier area and the issues has only gotten worse. Coolant is going at a quicker pace...
  2. F150 Ecoboost Maintenance
    I have a 2012 F-150 with the 3.5 eco (156k miles). Coming home Friday I pulled in the driveway and there was a strong coolant smell. Got out to find that coolant was pouring out toward the front of the engine. I'm guessing either a hose or gasket snapped because the coolant tank was emptied out...
  3. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    earlier i installed new spark plugs and while underneath the hood noticed the coolant level in the tank is pretty high, much higher than ive always remembered seeing it, i did a coolant flush last year and it has been sitting in the right range for a while until about a month or 2 ago everytime...
  4. 2nd Gen F150 Ecoboost
    So last week I drove through the Smoky Mountains to go to the in-laws for Christmas. Cruise set on 70, like I've driven a hundred times. On a hill I go to get on it to pass someone and begin hearing a loud forced air noise and my temperature gauge starts showing numbers of 228-236 and quickly...
  5. F150 Ecoboost Maintenance
    Spent some time poking around in here trying to find reasons for my loud fan and one of the first things the community recommended was checking the coolant level. That is low in my truck. Can I just add coolant (mixed with the proper amount of water) to the reservoir? All the comments I've...
  6. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    So every couple weeks I have to top off my coolant as it runs a little low, took it into the dealer and they said a turbo line was leaking and wrote me a quote for 600$ and some fittings and hoses to be replaced, this was months ago. Took it back recently and they said they can’t find where it’s...
  7. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    I discovered a large pool of coolant the next morning after a 60 min drive from base. Couldn’t locate the leak topside. Couldn’t find a leak around the reservoir. Drove it a few more times with no issues. Found this another 4x in the last 2 weeks. I only find the pool after it’s turned off...
  8. 2nd Gen F150 Ecoboost
    Hey yall. I'm looking for some advice. I recently purchased a certified pre-owned 2017 Ford F150 3.5L EcoBoost with 50,000 miles and I am noticing the engine temp running hot and causing the fans to kick on. I took it to the dealer and they checked for coolant leaks but did not find any. I have...
  9. F150 Ecoboost Maintenance
    After looking at the recommended maintenance schedule I was surprised that it recommends far less oil changes, no coolant flush (change out after 100k) etc. I have yet to tow anything so I selected normal driving conditions and it just says change my oil when the oil monitor says so or at least...
  10. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    2013 F150 Ecoboost 84,xxx miles My truck has been running fine all week however, yesterday I drove a couple miles down the road and the engine temp gauge tacked out and popped up "engine overheated." I got it parked and opened the hood and saw little spray spots on some spots of the engine bay...
  11. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    Hi, I plugged in my truck last night as it got down to -24. I started it up this morning and let it warm up for about 15 minutes. When I got in my truck I turned the heater on and nothing but cold air blew out. The temperature gauge read between cold and warm where it would typically be...
