1996 F150 ECM replacement
Hello All,
I have been reading the posts about PO135 PO141 PO155 and have followed the same things other guys have described. Replaced the O2 sensors and still trouble codes. I have ordered an ECM from Advance Auto Parts. The only info they needed from the truck was the calibration code. Do I just install the new one? Are there any other steps to it?
Thanks,
Scott

Plug in and start up let ecm get to know motor . Good luck on new ecm . I don't
know if calibration code is different for the 96 Or just engine specific . You have the OBDII and it has extra wires ETC . Advanced screwed a friend of mine that way .
Go to www.fordinjection.com it will give what may be problems and how to test everything . May save cost of a ecm/pcu
Good luck

No problem. I am just glad that pesky little light is out. I've been thinking of a rear disc brake conversion. My truck has 3/4 ton axles and 13inches of lift. Also I believe I have a bad front bearing in my transfer. It makes noise from that area when locked in and running.

Ecm tuning.
Iv got a 1996 f150 and I have done a ton of work to it. It’s a whole different machine the problem I’m having is I don’t think it’s running to its potential. Iv been told after everything done to it I need to have the ecm tunned. It’s to old to use a chip so I assume I need to pull it and send it somewhere but I don’t know who does this kind of work. I’m hoping someone can help me with a resource.

You should start your own thread, a new one rather than cross posting on old 10+ year old threads.
Your computer is not too old, you can get one of the following:
- Tweecer
- Quarter Horse
- PimpX
Now it depends on your budget and learning curve.

Thank you for the advice and resources. I was only able to find the tweecer that worked for my year and model. But that looks very advanced. I wouldn’t know where to start on using the software or knowing what data to input.
