I have been reading some of the F150 iceboats forums and it seems that my problem (stumbling, hesitation, poor fuel mileage and the occasional missfire) are all pretty similar to the known F150 condensation issue. Does anyone know if this is a problem on the SHO? Ford claims that the intercooler is "to efficient" and causes condensation, but the intercooler is one of the components that is not shared by the car and truck isn't it?

It's is a known problem.. for the F150... Fixed by a TSB service. 

In the SHO our intercoolers are very inadequate by standards of the F150's (and actually!) and they are not known mohave this problem, although condensation of vaporized oil and fuel (from crankcase blowby) does occur and should be periodically evacuated there are posts/pics/vids here on how to and results.
