Yes you can use a FICM from another truck as long as its from a truck, I'm not sure a E-series FICM would work. Would it have to be reprogrammed? Yes and No, I've swapped them around before from a 03 to a 06 and vice versa, they both run fine but set a soft code(no cel light) for FICM and PCM programs not matching, but again they run just fine. Also its not big deal to have the dealer reprogram the FICM. The latest flash for the 04 6.0 you have, reprograms the FICM and the PCM, so no biggie. The right ford dealer can sell you a FICM for ~$650 if you turn in your old one as a core which is a $100 charge.

Hope this helps

I picked up a FICM for $100 shipped! $500 for labor is outright theft

 

I can't belive they want to charge you $500 to install your ficm! there very easy to install and doesn't take very long either. it's located on the drivers side on top of the valve cover. you have to move the degas bottle out of the way and I think it's like 4 bolts that you have to remove and unplug and you done.

 

Check out www.parrfordparts.com and buy it online.

Like PSDnate said, it's at most a 30min install....

 

Thanks for all the great help... bought one online thur www.car-parts.com for $75 ! I will install it and take it back to the dealer for reprogramming, thanks again everyone

 

Could I just change the ficm, and buy something like a Power Programmer from hypertech, would that reset the ficm pcm setting?? The dealer wants $165 just for telling me what was wrong, and $464 to reprogram the ficm if I change it.... hell I can buy a nice programmer myself if it will work.... thanks again fellas !

 

I would go to or at least check with a differant dealer for price.

 

dude where do you live and what dealer are you dealing with? good greif. put the ficm on and plug it in and see how it goes. If it runs crappy buy an xcal and get custom tunes to match the new ficm.

 

:whs: Or contact power hungry performance thay reprogram the FICM for alot less.

 

I had the dealer put it on and reprogram it , charged me $365.... back on the road again, runs and drives great.... thanks for everyones help...
