Hope this helps.

I guess I am a little confused Bill. I was under the impression that the ECM/FICM programming still had to be compatible with each other for the engine to run correctly. i.e. so that one would know the "address" of the other's programming. LOL--maybe I'm just :notallthere: I do know that the FICM is entirely responsible for the heating. I think I'll just give you a call later today and you can put an end to my confusion.

Thanks very much for your prompt reply :thumbs up yellow:

So is it possible to run the older TOW/HAUL TCM stragety that was a bit more agressive on each downshift?

I loved this on my '04 before they reflashed it.

I'd love to know this too, cause I have some older files I'd love to run that I'm told wouldn't work with the newer flashes.

It would be nice to have the 2-1 downshift and the constantly locked T/C, that the 03's and early 04's had, in the 05-07's. hint...hint... :cheesy smile:

One other question for Bill:

Will a FICM flash throw any kind of a compatability code if it's not done with the PCM?

mr.c Mon, August 31st, 2009 03:28 PM

I am not Bill but can say that mine does show a incompatability code. 2004 model year F350

I have it to U306 I believe. I just ignore it and the PO401 (lack of EGR flow) LOL
