I have a 2013 and noticed the plastic cover blocking off the top 1/3 of my CAC. I read this is to prevent condensation from overcooling... Has anyone removed it and what were the results? Would this work in the summer months?

Took mine off my 13. Couldn't tell any difference. There's a new tsb out somewhere that has the dealer removing these now anyways I believe. I'm sure someone will post a link.

What about the big one that covers the top and some of the back side?

Please take them all off...I do this for every customer with a 2013...although it doesn't help that Ford put plastic block off plates inside the intercooler to limit flow either...the 2013 intercoolers are very restricted...

If you log a 2011-12 and 2013 back to back, and I am talking stock setup here, the 2011 will actually cool the IATs, but the 2013 will just continue to rise...

That's no lie...last summer I thought I was going to melt things.

Complain to dealer as described and they should remove shrouds and reflash. Good luck!

 

[Econoob]

Or just remove them yourself and flash your own tune. Everybody wins!

 

[2013FX4RD]

But what about the blocks INSIDE the intercooler on 2013s? Anything to be done with them?

 

[Econoob]

Aside from a new CAC I don't believe so.

 

[2013FX4RD]

Well piss. Glad it's on a long list of to dos then.

Unfortunately no, it is time for a new intercooler...

That is the inside of my stock cac. Its plum retarded for ford to do suck a thing. I Fixed the issue with a Wagner intercooler! And I love It. Special thanks to Josh!

Faster then Ecofx86!

 

[brian351w]

that does suck and explains alot about how the performance drops off so much in my truck as temps rise !
i noticed it on my truck in stock form.

 

[Teamfour]

Glad I have the 2011 CAC (knock on wood). My IAT temps remain below ambient except when idling in traffic. This is even when towing 7500 lbs uphill.

Reposting from another CAC thread for the 2013 guys like me....

QUESTION: I know a lot of you guys run a live wire or some other monitoring gizmo that stays plugged into the OBDII port most (i.e. all) of the time.

Is there anyone that would like to see a pod mounted 2" traditional gauge for IAT? Like the boost gauges that many of us have? If so, would you want a full sweep dial or digital read-out?

I know there are already a couple on the market, but I don't really care for anything that I've seen so far. Just curious. Thoughts?

I have the livewire ts but if I had a pod I would go digital

Faster then Ecofx86!

 

[VolForLife]

not in all things, but I guess in some, I'm "old school...this is one of those....BUT it is a full digital stepper motor running off of a manifold with a lot of cool whiz-bang features

I would love to see them make a dual sweep IAT gauge to match.

I removed mine. It's cold as **** outside, no issues.
