FICM mounting question
I just pulled the FICM out of my 04 F350 and re-soldered the inside. (It works!!) I can tell somebody else has already pulled it off once and tried to fix it. (They did a bad job) Mounting it back on the engine I'm wondering if there should be any kind of rubber vibration isolator between the FICM and what it mounts to? Mine doesn't, I'm just wondering if any parts might be missing? The way it mounts is kind of funny...

This ^^^ if you grab on to your ficm mounts and give them a giggle you'll see where they are. I think it was a 03 to 04 change since my 04 had the grommets down low.

Somebody previously tried to fix my FICM by covering the loose components with hot glue. It didn't work.
My buddy actually did the soldering, but it came out great! Now I gotta go help him change his oil...

You mean the big rings on both sides of the FICM? I thought there should be some rubber in there. I think part of the bracket might have had some rubber under it instead, I'll have to go look again.
I can just imagine the discussion between Ford engineers. "Where should we mount this sensitive computer module? There's a good spot here directly on top of a giant pissed off diesel engine!"
