FICM compatability

The dealer reflashed my '04 F350 6.0L after they told me that they wouldn't. I took it in with the buzz flash and it left without the buzz flash and a huge loss of power and about a mpg loss. My Autoengineuity scanner shows a VXBC9N8 calibration. I assume that is the inductive heat flash. I am interested in your FICM tuning so that I can get back the truck that I bought that had power. I am not interested in modding the truck. I just want the original power back. The truck is completely stock and it will probably remain so. It is a 11/03 manufacture date. I bought a spare FICM a couple of days ago. It is from a '06. Can that FICM work in my '04 with your flash? Or have I wasted some money?

Any FICM for 03-07 will work. So just send your new one to Bill and He'll flash it and send it back to you. I think you'll be suprised how much power has been flashed away since 11 of 2003....your orginal build date.

Bill says the '06 FICM should be a problem to reflash.

Corey, did you mean to say this? Somehow, it seems an odd way to answer. Perhaps you meant "shouldn't"?

Thank goodness I have you to watch my back, Jack. Yes, it SHOULDN'T be a problem, and we SHOULD be shipping it back to you tomorrow, mr.c!

groovey chick how long does it take to get a ficm back from programming? my ficm went bad and im looking for a later model used one (06-07 only because its newer and might not go bad as fast as say a 03model) and i would like to get it hopped up instead of fords detuned flashes. also any leads on ficms? does php sell ficms already tuned.
