Finally got around to drilling my intercooler. It is recommended on an f150 forum and I am glad I did. I did it directly after a 6 hour trip in continuous rain so this is showing the worse case scenario. I am happy to see that after more than 42,000 miles, there is very little oil in the water. As some may know, I experienced my one and only shudder incident this fall on a rainy 7 hour drive this fall. After driving all day Saturday in the rain I thought it would be a good day to drill the hole and see what I collected. I am very pleased with this truck and think this is an easy 5 minute improvement that everyone should make. The link is to my YouTube video where I put my truck in gear and created boost. I was amazed the amount of air that exited the 1/16 inch hole. Picture is the puddle it left and I estimate the volume to be about 3-4 ounces. It had a slight oil sheen.
