FICM mounting hardware
While working on my truck I noticed the FICM is not held down at all, it is just laying there. The front holes have studs coming up for some nuts with large washers but they are missing. The rear bracket has some threaded holes, for 2 bolts with large washers but they are missing as well.
Does anyone have a diagram or part numbers for these botls and nuts? I would prefer the FICM be secured properly.
On a side note, I also noticed that the turbo intake tube is supposed to be bolted to a bracket that mounts to the front FICM bracket. One of the metal inserts is broken out of the turbo intake tube and the other is missing the bolt. How important is this mount?

Go to www.fordparts.com and create an account, on the home page enter your VIN then click search catalog, then in the keyword search box enter Engine injector control module, then when the parts come up click on the diagram image and it will show you all of the mounting hardware. It should prompt you to install a program when you click on the picture, install this as it gives addition functionality to the image such as the ability to click on numbers in the image to give specific info such as part name and price.

The front and rear mounting brackets are very important to the ficm. Securing it down so that it is not moving around will protect the inside mother board from future damage. It is a very delicate component to the proper starting and running of the motor.

Here is the bracket for the front of the ficm closet to the turbo intake tube.
Same bracket as first picture, but you can see it has 4 holes. 2 holes that mount on the studs sticking out of the ficm holder (10mm nuts) and 2 holes that mount to the turbo intake tube (8mm bolts).
This bracket is for the rear of the ficm. Held on by (2) 8mm bolts.
The black 8mm bolts are for the rear bracket. The silver 8mm bolts are for the turbo intake tube mount. The (2) 10mm nuts is for the front ficm mounting bracket. In previous picture, you can see the studs sticking out for these nuts. I am missing one nut in my pic.

Ok. So all I am really missing is the rear plate and 2 bolts As I have the turbo intake tube bracket and nuts. I installed them under the ficm, I did not realize they go above the ficm.
Thanks for the photos. They help out a lot.

what is FIMC?
I am brand spanking new here.
Please explain what "FIMC" IS.
THANK YOU.
I have a steel plate that is about (let me measure it) 6in X 4inch steel piece with 3 bolt holes and an elongated 2 inch hole that looks like it was squeezed (if I knew how to use my tablet to take a picture of it or my closed Verizon account) I could show it.
I need to know where this piece goes I could finish my waterpump replacement.
Any help ?

No problem on the pictures. And if you dont want to wait on ordering a rear mount bracket, so easy to fabricate one yourself out of metal or go to home depot and buy a similar looking bracket and drill 2 holes in it. Good luck!

Thank You 2006white
thank you 2006White.
Now for the 1/8th in steel plate.
it has a slight bend then return; like it had been dropped and
I need pictures of ... there are only two plates of this steel.
One is to hold the power sterring bracket, the other iswhat I need to identify.

I am redoing the ficum hold downs on my 2003, as there was only 2 of 4 bolts there. The parts on my truck are different from the pictures I see in your post, but yours is newer than mine. Here's the part numbers from mine if it helps. Four bushings with part number 9C151, four bolts with part number W300049, and eight grommets with part number 9C150. Good luck with your truck!
