FICM fixed!

Pulled my FICM last night because of low voltage readings on my sc2. I was getting 48.5-49v most of the time. Just after starting cold volts would drop to 38 and slowly climb up. Noticed some smoke afternoons warm up when accelerating hard and some loss of power with regular driving. Truck started fine and ran pretty good over all. Anyway I touched up all the connections shown in the FICM repair threads. They all looked good except one resistor fell off when I was touching it up. After repair sc2 reads 49-50v all the time. Way smoother driving/acceleration. I expect logs will come up as well.

Thanks to all who have contributed to the FICM repair threads. You guys have been a great help and an awesomes resource.
