According to my Edge CS my ficm is dropping to 45.5 while normal excelerating. What do i do now. Truck runs fine. Sometimes slow start but always starts. Thanks

 

Border line ok, maybe FICMrepair will chime in. What was it running before?

 

Fix it before more damage comes.

 

Not really sure what it was before. It sits right around 47.5-48 average. When i get on it stays aroun 47-47.5. I have seen as low as 45.5. Idle is solid 48. If i didnt pull that view up on the CS i probably wouldnt even have thought about it. I have read in Diesel Power Mag about a "bottom plate" like $550 or something that brongs it right up as well as some mods that can be done at home. Just not sure if i wanna mess with it since it is still running well

 

I think you would be better off sending in to FICMrepair guy. He replaces all components and reflows solder ect. Much more reliable repair than you can do on your bench. There are a lot of happy customer posts on here so I would go that route. If mine goes I will send and it's coming from 5000 miles away almost....

 

If you are good at soldering i would do the FICM repair proc the hardest part was removing the back bolts and unpluging the ficm did it to mine last night and everything good so far

 

Don't forget way cheaper as well.

If I were you, I would just send it in. 45.5 is too low and it won't get better on it's own...

 

What does it cost to send in and how long does it normally take?

 

Was thinking i could do it but thinking if its 250 its not worth me messing it up but then its down. If its 750 then i might try it because i would be back ip and running same day. Are the out comes the same? Do you get the same results?

 

If you try to resolder it, and it does not work...

It will cost you more to have it fixed the right way the second time around.

 

Yeah thats wht i was thinking but it depends on what it does cost and how long it will take

Sent him an email thanks. Just wondering if i should mess with it if it aint broke. Truck runs fine.

 

IIRC the FICM Voltage Cutoff for it being BAD is 42Volts anything less and theres High RISK of damage to injectors. And being that you are getting down to 45 volts here and there its slowly Failing and is only a matter of time before it TOTALY Fails

If you want to try and resoilder it you would have to determine its condition when you open the FICM Up if you find Cracked Bad Soilder joints then reflowing the soilder joints Might work. But if you open it up and dont see any Obvious sign of Bad Joints then IMO a Reflow of the Soilder joints is probably a LONG Shot and would be best just to send it in to ED at www.ficmrepair.com at this point.

Definatly check into Ed service I beleive he has a few options as far as sending you a FICM so that you dont have to wait for yours to ship and repaired and then shipped Back. So if he sent you a FICM you would only be Down as long as it takes to swap parts out

It would also be a good Idea to check the Batterys and Alternator out Now check output and Load test each battery separate and clean all Battery Cables and Grounds really good a dremal tool with a wire brush tool on it works great
