My F150 seems to like E85 even better than my Tempo. Neither have been modded for E85 one iota so they'll throw CELs when they max out the fuel trim. One difference is when the fuel trim gets back "in range" the CEL goes out right away on the truck, but it stays on in the Tempo until I do a key off/key on cycle. The CEL seems to come on less in the truck anyway on E85 so I suspect it is programmed to be able to go a skosh richer than the car.
