PCM interchangeable??

Does anyone know if 1C3F-12A650-Zc. and 1C3F-12A650-Zb are interchangeable?

is there a decoder for these part numbers?
Thanks in advance?

Both PCM's are from the same "family" and will interchange. The stock shift strategies are different between the two. You can use either one with a chip or tuner. The shift strategies could then be overridden.
Ford PCM 1C3F-12A650-ZC information
Ford PCM 1C3F-12A650-ZB information
Here is also a link to a discussion of the PMT1 and PMT2. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...-pmt2-pcm.html

It never gets old reading threads like that. It gets frustrating, but never old.

I do have a superchips tuner, and I restored my prior PCM to stock, so I know I can reuse it. can my existing PCM be re-programmed, or flashed or whatever to repair it?

What problems are you having with the PCM that you feel it needs replacing?

My shop is telling me that they are getting several codes which indicate PCM issiues. not sure which ones.I have 2 PCM's each throwing different codes, so, I found a PCM for 300, and it is on it's way. I will post the results here in a few days after it arrives.
Thanks
Carl
