I emailed Jody, and a simple re-wire of the GPR is all that's needed- you take the two leads for each bank off of where they are and put them on the center post (you have to modify that fancy little plastic cover if you want it to go back on). No codes... well at least no SES light. Runs quieter, shifts better, fuels better (judging by the black smoke out the tails when I matted it and EGT's hitting 950*). I posted on Sunday I think, I'll try and dig it up for you.
I don't know about other model years, but my 2000 F250 was not real easy. There is was no way that I could get the 10 mm bolt out without following the instructions in the Haynes book. Just not enough room for my hands and the wrench at the same time. The instructions are to remove tire and take the fender liner out -- I cheated and only partically removed the liner without removing the tire. Then it was a snap to get the bolt out and to the code. Did mine a week ago. I was looking because I discovered duct tape over the end of the PCM. (I've only had the truck 7 months.) Result of inspection revealed that at 'some time' there had been something connected to the edge connector -- cleaned etc.
You don't have to remove the tire or fender liner to remove the PCM. Although it may be easier to get to with those removed. The first time i took mine out it was a little difficult, but the other two times (thought I didn't clean the contacts good and then realized I had the wire plugged into the F5 switch wrong lol) went much easier.
I really tried to get the bolt out without removing the fender liner -- but with all of the other wires etc I just couldn't get the ratchet wrench to work. So---
I had a heckuva time getting that bolt out, but I was able to fanagle myself around things and got it done (I have long arms though). I used a deep well socket and it was pretty easy.

Well I guess whatever works for you go with that. I have long arms too so that probably made it easier for me.
[QUOTE=Tenn01PSD350;6396370]Well, Jody can tell you what PCM code you have just from the VIN from what I hear. The ones I am familiar with are PMT 1 and 2 and NVK4. Again, call DP, or pull the PCM out. It will be clearly labeled. Probably quicker than calling.[/QUOte
What is the number so i can call. Im at work and would like to order this part in the am.
