Glad you got it fixed, good numbers! Also I am glad to help good folks like yourself!!
There is a good write-up on fixing that radiator nipple - if you are interested, I could track it down.
Edit - found it more easily than I thought I would. It is a YouTube video:

Well the nipple fix on the radiator seems to be holding.. I let it idle this morning for an hour and no leaks.. I did notice a couple of oil drops coming from behind the engine. When I was driving I opened up the turbo a bit and smoke started to come out, dark grey ish in color.. and the motor sputtered for a sec.. I pulled over and noticed some oil burning off the turbo.. the supply line was not leaking I shined a flashlight down in the valley and it was dry so I kept driving.. after my 20 mile trip there wasn't anymore oil burning off the turbo but I didn't get to floor the pedal because of rain. Is it normal for the turbo to get some oil inside after its been pulled out, turned around several times? Driving normal there wasn't any smoke and the engine ran great.

Are you reading these values at KOEO or idle? What are "normal" ranges? For instance, I know that FICM below ~45 is bad. Thanks.

Mine wouldn't start, those numbers were while cranking. I don't have a scan Guage but was using the torque app.. I'm sure you can get all the parameters you need with the Scanguage, maybe someone while chime in and help with that. Once you get the right parameters post back with the values and we can help you.

I really like the Atlas 40 tune Ed!! I notice a big difference in performance especially starting from a stop. The truck responds very well! Thank you again for taking care of my FICM!!!!

I have an extra IPR Valve with part number 5C3Z-9C968-CA I bought it off ebay. The one I bought at the dealer is 3C3Z-9C968-AA and is currently in my truck. Will this one, 5C3Z-9C968-CA, fit a 2004 built 1/2004? thank you!

I've run both models of the IPR valve in my engine with no issues.

The only difference I could see between the two was the screen so I went with the later one that wasn't "supposed" to work but I've never had any issue. I know a few folks that have run both with never an issue.

I noticed the old style screen on the one from the dealer so I replaced the screen with the updated one. At least I have a spare one just in case... lol. Thanks again!
