Battery disconect, change.
Hey all.
Just a quick note. If you need a battery, or before you disconect. Make sure if you are required to have a emissions sticker on your truck. That it is not due for awhile. You will need to drive the truck to reset the computer. Racerguy can tell you about the drive cycle procedure for FORD, Its not a lot of fun, ask how i know.

Usually a few days of driving will complete the drive cycle. The trucks PCM just needs to see some highway driving, a few accelrations, sime idling etc to verify that all the systems are working how they are supposed to. To do a drive cycle in a hurry is quite involved but normally just a few days of driving will do it.
