Software incompatible with FICM?
Howdy y'all i have an 03 F250 that just recently got a bunch of new parts and goodies, one of which is a new ficm from the dealer. It runs decent but after checking for codes this caught my attention... Software incompatible with Fuel Injection Ctrl Mod. I know this isn't right but what is wrong?

recent work: egr delete, 3 injectors, new oil lines with those damn o-rings, oil cooler and some shiny new floor mats.

also running: edge evolution, 4" straight no muff no cat, zf6 speed tranny

Thanks in advance for any info/help.

Make sure you load the stock file from the Evo before you take it in, otherwise the Evo will be stuck thinking the truck is tuned when it's not.
