I feel a lot more confident learning from an educated, experienced mechanic than from a backyard hack. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

I replaced one of these about 4 or 5 yrs ago on my truck. It burned out last week. I just installed another one over the weekend on the same truck. It's a pretty easy job. The hardest part is getting to it and pulling it out of the truck. Changing the board is a piece of cake. The one that burned out, started to go out almost a year ago when the preignition clikcking stopped. But' the truck still started and ran, so I ran it that way for almost a year. The old board finally gave up the ghost and dead shorted to the case blowing the number 5 , 50amp fuse under the hood. One of the capacitors got so hot that the board burned and it got hot enough to burn thru the silicone mat and short on the case. I was afraid that it would have screwed the logic board, but I put it back in with the new power board and it runs great again. This is just one of those things that happens to these trucks. This is board #3 since I've had the truck. Before you start changing injectors and going deep into that. A new ficm power board is cheap and easy enough to do before getting into changing out injectors.

I just received my board from Amazon today. With your video I'll be removing the other one and installing this one. Wish me luck I was hoping I did not have to have any kind of reconfiguration with the computer. Thanks for the video!

Thank you very much. I am an engineer, gear head but know very little about a diesel. I am late to thank you for your great video and help on my truck. About 2 years ago I bought a 2004 F250 Extended cab long bed with the DREADED 6.0. I noticed when I went to buy it they had warmed it up, bad sign! I drove it and it ran like a scalded dog. It had 108K miles and looked great and the price was low so I knew there could be issues but thought at what price I bought it I could fix whatever issues and still come out ok. There was no blow by and no white chalk on degas bottle. It had not been head studded but was egr deleted and had a SCT turner. I got it home and started to check it out more thoroughly. It had a 100hp tune (hence the snappy acceleration). I put it back to stock and it still ran well but on cold start up it clacked like crazy for about 1 to 2 minutes. Going by your video I checked the FICM voltage and it was in the neighborhood of 35-38v (I think this is why they had warmed it up before I got there to buy it). I then ordered a FICM board for $40 bucks. You said it was easy and I thought it could not be that easy or everyone would do what you suggested but for $40 I thought I would give it a shot. You did not lie. In a less that 45 minutes (my fumbling was most time consuming) I had 48 to 49.5v FICM working like it should. After 2 years and 20K miles it is still doing great. Thanks again for saving me big $$$s. Could you do a video on boost and how to check if the vanes are working correctly? Mine seems to lag on bottom end but may just be normal for a diesel. I watched your vid on cleaning a turbo but wondered if there was a way to check for sticking vanes without removing the turbo.

Great video man. I watched this more than a few months ago now and got the part. Super simple and easy to do. My ficm voltage would be at 46.5 to 48 while causing around but with this new part installed I am sitting around 49.5 most times I have not seen it drop lower than 48v. Keep up the great work man.

Genius explanation of how to unplug the 3 connectors. Ridiculousness

I may be trying this in a few days. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the knowledge with your videos

Great Video!!!

Great video, my FICM was giving me sporadic voltage and in a couple hours I had the board replaced and had the truck running. Running 48-49V now

Awesome video!!!!!

Blessings Thank you for your great knowledge

Thank you for sharing good video.👍😎🇺🇸

Great video! Recently i just change the same part and i bring it to the mechanic but he said it dont work because it need to be programed thats true? Thank u.

Good video

My 06 f350 6.0L is doing the same as what he just showed. Still starts and runs but the ficm power starts around 40v then slowly climbs upto 48 to 49.50 volts.

Great video In the Shop! i got an 03 F350, 6.0, the other morning went to start it and it seemed to be hydro locked, it did crank for 1/2 a turn or so, every time I tried to crank it, felt like the starter engaged but could not turn the engine. Today it turned and felt like engine wanted to fire, releasing the starter from the flywheel, but never fired. Checked several videos and seems that the FICM is the problem but not sure yet, any suggestion? Thank you!

I have a 05 f350 with a burnt pin 4 on the X3 connector, I had a strange miss at idle at random from time to time but never anything other than idle, what would cause that ?

Hello I have a 2005 f350 6.0 I had the Ficm replace and a couple off mouth later it did the same thing and I haven’t stared since 2017 I just bought the Ficm from allient so you think that I have to drain the old Disel or just leave it

i know this this a late comment but just wondering what's the benefits and or problems of upping the volts or keeping the volts stock 48

Hey great video I have a 06 e450 bluebird micro bus that I was given as payment to clear out a barn and all it needed was batteries a installed 2 brand new ones and it started right up sounds great for about 40 min or so and I shut it off it did not want to start again so I checked every fuse under the dash and found one blown I replaced it and bam she fired right up I don’t know what the fuse was too cause I don’t have the chart but it ran fine and then I shut it off and again it will not start so I checked the same fuse and it was not blown, I am getting p0611 code and some other glow plug codes , could this be a ficmu issue . Thanks please help

I also have a 03 6.0 crank sensor Circuit fault ?

What scan tool are you using?

Have a 2007 f350 had the 611 code main voltage was dropping to 33 so I got a used ficm which all voltages are perfect but when I cycle key ya can hear no injector clatter starts n runs good also had a p0268 then a p0269 came along truck runs a Lil rough now injectors are only 6 months old

Also I'm wondering who was the genius that though to put an electronic board on top of an engine that get very hot. 🙄

Any suggestions of the best place to get replacement connectors for the ficm module, as the clips on connectors have busted.

Can my 2006 F250 run with a 7 pin fICM and not a 4 pin

Do they also sell modules for the 7 bolt ficm?

Hey can you help me? The problem I have with my 2007 6.0L powerstroke is that only buzz test the injectors when the engine is at operating temperature but if the engine is cold don't buzz test the injectors so the engine don't start. What's the problem then?. I'm not sure if the FICM is the problem here. I think it's a wiring problem or something. All fuses are fine (the ones on the engine side and the cabin too). Once the engine is at operating temp runs like a champ, by the way the truck is 100% bone stock.

2003 FORD F450 dump fluid through the exhaust what can cause that problem please if you can help me with that.

Great explanation. Kind of made me feel a cave man could do it. Thanks

where to locate FICM to a 2009 grand starex vgt a/t?

What about if the ficm logic voltage or the other voltage is bad? Can this repair fix that? Or does this repair only fix the ficm for the 48 volts?

Hey stupid question I have a 05 f350 it has the 7 pin ficm nun of my local parts stores can get a 7 pin an due to Corona bull crap I havent been able to order one.my question is will a 4 pin fixn work in place of the 7 pin.i put sum of the tape over the three holes that will not be used an the 4 pin bolts right in.will this work or screw something up realy bad I've been debating on putting it in an trying but I'd like a opion of someone who noes what they are doing.they look identical except the 4 pin has three less holes

The FICM has two ,,parts,, POWER and BRAIN,, if you replace just POWER part what chances the ,,BRAIN,, part is BAD...would it be better to replace the whole thing?

tell me.The voltage on the module is 48.5, on an idle engine, and the injectors are not tested!

Show where to sodier fix it

Hey Man I did this and am now only getting 40v Have any idea why?

You should of said what size torque heads etc you were using….

I recently turned my truck off to get fuel. Went to start and it cranks and I get oil pressure but found the voltage on my tuner for my ficm drops slowly from 50 down to 2volts . i figure its prob a failed power supply just wanted your thoughts.

Do a how to change PCM. I can't seem to find video on that

You can rebuild the PSU instead of buying a new one.

I recommend a Bullet Proof FICM kit I stay away from all Dorman products....

I think every more than adding diesel requires the cab to be removed. I don’t know how he gets to this stuff let alone getting it back. I wish I lived near him. Most of the diesel guys near me are hacks.
