How many miles before Cold side intercooler problems?
Just trying to plan ahead here. About how many miles are average for the cold side intercooler pipe to fail? Was thinking might be a good idea to have it replaced before it can fail. I have a 2019 with 30K. THanks!

Thats why I was asking. I'm at 30K and would rather not have a failure. I'm probably ok for a while but wondering if you put an aftermarket one on there if it would void your engine warranty?

No, it would not void your engine warranty. The CAC pipe would have to be the cause of whatever engine failure it might have.

From: Uh oh, CA
I plan to do a decent amount of towing (although, it's a fairly small camper) so I went ahead and swapped mine for the S&B CAC pipe at around 3700 miles. The S&B pipe is much nicer and will obviously stand up to much more abuse than the stock CAC pipe. However, saying that, I do keep the stock pipe in the toolbox in the bed of the truck... just in case! I can't say that it was necessary, but I do feel better about it...

No, it was blowing it out of the secondary cooling system.
the first time it did it, motor derated. No codes or anything. Was towing about 40K. At the time didn't catch it has blown the coolant out. Well waiting for a another truck to arrive, motor cooled down. With no trailer, the truck drove fine back to the shop. Dropped at Ford, they pressure tested the system and it held. They assumed it was a bad temperature sensor may just replaced it.
Week later, the coolant reservoir was empty, it would only blow under heavy load. Put a used one in at a considerably less cost. It was 1400 used vs something like 3600 new
