The gearbox isn't on the site - we just don't sell a ton of them as you can imagine. Drop me an email to ed@ficmrepair.com with your VIN and I'll get you a price.

What codes, specifically, are you getting?

I don't know what you mean by 'proving' the test for batteries? Are you referring to our expectation that our customers ensure the health of their batteries and charging system prior to installing a FICM from us? If so, that's primarily on the honor system, but when low voltage on the supply side is the reason for a module's failure we can nearly always tell. What we tell people just anyway is that while warranty's are great and all, downtime stinks. In other words, it is in everyone's best interest to ensure the continued health of their charging system.

You can absolutely run your custom tunes with the Atlas 40, yes.

What alternator did you go with (please don't tell me the 110 amp unit...)?

Wow. Talk about a thread hijack! LOL

Got to say 2 things.
Ed saved me quite a bit of cash on my trans replacement with a real Ford unit.

2nd thing.
Ed can you post some photos of the inside of a 7 pin?

Thanks
