the smog shop cannot see the tune, they just make sure the monitors are ready/clear. And of course no CEL. If you can drive it 80-100 miles without the P code popping up, it will pass smog.

Agreed. The problem is that the tune pops my MIL pretty quickly. When I clear the codes, the P1000 not ready code comes up, and in order to clear that out I need to drive it for a bit. While driving to clear the P1000, the MIL lights up with the P1249 code.

I'll check it out again. Thanks for the info.

Well, took it for a drive with the scanner hooked up. Got it to clear the P1000, but when I started it back up the MIL popped on again with a P0107 code that wont clear. I'm pretty sure my MAP sensor is fine. Swapped the PCM for the original and gonna try to drive reeealll easy to clear the system without lighting up the wastegate. No MAP code since the swap.

Just FYI, a couple years ago we were able to finally figure this out with the info provided by Y2K, and the info above has been superseded. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post16775739

Excursions built from Job #1, which was July 19, 1999 for the first model year of Excursion (2000) through and until October 23, 1999 received the regular energized coil relay with a bank to bank diagnostics shunt.

Excursions built on or after October 24, 1999, have the solid state Glow Plug Control Module that provides two way communication with the PCM to diagnose each glow plug individually.

So basically, the first 90 days of Excursion production squeaked out of the barn without a GPCM, and were Californiaized with the shunted relay, along with the attendant left and right bank diagnostics calibration.

Reference Source: See original TSB 99-25-10, re-released in the entirety (without revision) at the end of 7.3L production as TSB 03-31-36.

No cigar. I think I'm going to have to re-flash the PCM. I even tried hooking up the 3 pos chip from my truck to override the Ex's program, but the wastegate code persists.
