Powerboost lost coolant
Less then 400 miles on my 22 F150 and it's on a rollback. Smelled coolant after a long drive, found a wet spot on the ground under the driver's seat.
Temp hit 240 so I parked it, had it towed to a dealer.
it.Best part is Ford wouldn't tow me because they couldn't match my truck to my name. Guess needing a tow 3 days after purchase is to soon!

Update:
There is a coolant line that runs next to the front drive shaft. It looks like it normally would have a bracket that locates it safely beside the transmission, away from the drive shaft. On my truck it looks like the bracket was forgotten, or fell off, allowing the line to contact the spinning shaft.
My truck made it just over 300 miles, 4 hours from home, before the line gave out.
I wish I'd take a pic of that the tech showed me. I did get the part # for those curious. ML3Z-7G071.H
Not having luck finding any diagrams for it but if you get under your Powerboost might want to check it. Look up at the trans after the felt cover/plate? at the driveshaft coupler and see if any trans lines are dangling near it.
