Thumbs up Repaired FICM

After reading numerous posts here about others with similar issues with their 6.0 like mine such as poor cold starting, running very rough until warmed up and poor fuel mileage I bought the scan guage II. It helped to confirm the FICM was starting to read low down to 42 volts. I decided to give Ed at www.ficmrepair.com a shot. I never contacted them but pulled my unit out last Saturday and sent it off. I opted for the atlas 40 tune along with the repair.

My unit came back Thursday. What a fast turn around considering it went to Iowa and back to Cali. It is now installed. All I can say is what an improvement. Two cold starts so far and no issues. Power is back to new and then some. It will take a little while to check but I am sure the fuel milage will be better. My hats off to all who post here in FTE and to Ed at ficmrepair. Without all of you I would not have been able to fix the truck on my own.
