My dad currently has a Superchips tuner. I'd like to get him the Phoenix or FU as a present. He lives in Alabama and I'm in Louisiana, plus digging out the PCM from his truck would look suspicious. Is there one PCM code for a 01 F250 automatic?
His truck is all stock except a 6637 filter I installed.

Here is a list: PCM Codes - 1994-1997 Power Stroke FAQ
If you can get his vin # you should be able to call ford's parts department and tell them you are looking for a pcm and need them to look it up by vin #. Good luck.

If it's a 2001 and it's NOT a Calif. truck, it's most likely going to use a PMT1/VRAA6S3 calibration. That'd be the safest guess.

How could I tell if its a cali. truck? VC sticker? He comes here time to time to visit and I'm suppose to be going home for 2 weeks at the end of the month. If its the vc sticker, I could take a quick peek at it.

Also, I saw someone that ordered a FU chip with no "Stock" position. Don't ya'll reccomend having a stock position on the chip? Is there any danger of turning the truck off with an aftermarket tune, removing the chip, then turning the truck back on running strictly off the PCM?
Seems like you could get one more tune in that way. If you have to diagnose the truck, its no big deal pulling the chip out if the PCM casing hole is big enough.

his truck would probably have a cat and gpcm if it was a cali truck. It doesn't matter what you shut the truck down in and remove the chip. Just don't want the keys in the ing. As far as getting another tune when removing the chip go for it..lol.

If there is a Glow Plug Control Module (GPCM... It's a little aluminum box with 2 square plugs on it) on the passenger valve cover, it's a California truck. If there are two Glow Plug Relays (they look like starter solenoids, with one actually being used for the Air Intake Heater) then it's a 49 State truck.
When you order an FU kit, you have the choice of what files to put on the chip. You can always remove the chip from the ECM to go back to stock, just make sure the key is in your pocket or in the back seat. That's the only safe place for it! ![]()

10-4, I remeber you telling me to just make sure the key was out when you was putting the chip back in after you re-burned it. I use to go through the trouble of removing the + bettery cables before messing with it. I may just have my chip reburned for him and I get the FU. He's not really all into tuning trucks. He just had the superchips added because he said his truck felt more sluggish after Ford put in the gray CPS.

Better yet, can't my TS chip be reformated to work with the FU package....and I could buy another license for it? That way if my dad ever wants to change his tunes I can do it.
Can I grab the files from the server and put them on my laptop. I live in a one mile gap of internet access, it would be easier for me to just grab the files from the server and keep them on a file in my laptop. If not, guess I can just run of to Sonic and bum off their WiFi. So what all do I need to get that done? -Send my chip in to be reformated to work with the FU kit -Purchase the FU package -??? And can I keep the tunes that you wrote for me that are currently on the TS chip?

I think I have the correct sticker I want to make sure I have the correct PCM code.
![]() It has the 12B599 and since its made in brazil I think its the same and the pcm number is 7FFA0. I can not find a 4 digit code. the below is copied from the php website On the side of the PCM connector facing the driver's fender, there is a white sticker that contains the Part Number and Calibration information. The Part Number is easy to identify because it will always contain "-12A650-" in the middle of it. The Calibration code (also called the "Box" code or "Tear Tag" code) is a 4 digit code that is composed of 3 letters and 1 number. In this example, the PCM Part Number is "F81F-12A650-BF" and the Box or Calibration Code is "XLE4". For reference, the "DPC-402" is the hardware designation and is used to identify the Circuit Board used in the PCM. In the event a replacement PCM is needed, any PCM with a matching "DPC" number can be used, although you will need to have the PCM reflashed to the proper Calibration code. |
