PCM ?
HELLO EVERYONE.
I need help here please. My 2014 F-450 6.7 was running very rough at times, and had no power, like driving on train track ties, till shut off, then it was fine until the next restart, sometime down the road maybe it wouldn't do it till the 10th restart or 20th then sometime down the road it would? very hit or miss, but once the key was turned off and back on, it would be fine the rest of the trip. following some advice from here, ford said it was #5 injector, had them replace it, they said do em all. truck had only 59k miles. they did em all, about $6500. said it was fine, but about 2 months later, it happened again same P5555 code, they said program probably got screwed up, they'd have to re program that #5 injector. they told me they had to replace wires to injectors, program was fine. another almost $800.00 about a week later, same problems again. they are telling me now its from my mini max tuner (i've been using it to clear the code now instead of turning key off and restarting it) but its probably the ECM in my opinion now? can anyone tell me if I buy a used ECM if I could plug it in and go ? or is there a program that needs to go with it all, and who I could have do it ? i'm not giving ford another dime or the time . thanks folks

I think you need another service center. Who are you using to do this work?
It would also help us to know is this truck deleted or you just have the mini max as a monitor?
What happens if you use stock programing and take the mini max off the truck? Or maybe you can't because it is deleted?
