Give your VIN# to the service department of a Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer and they can tell if it was done or not by looking up your VIN# in their system. I'm fairly positive this will not show up on a carfax report.

The recall for the intercooler really isn't a recall. It is considered a program since there were so few of our truck made. You can PM me your vin number or just post it and I can run the Oasis Report to see if it was done or not. It will not show up on a carfax report.

If the intercooler was not changed under the program then there is nothing that you can do under warranty. The coverage time lapsed in early 2002. Ford will do nothing for you but sell you a new intercooler kit.

Also, it may be possible that it was done by the owner later and will not show up on a report.
Might be a good idea to pull the S/C and clean the I/C, then count the rows while it is apart.
It is good maintanence and you will know for sure what you have.
