Need help with computer board

My computer board has burnt up in my 02 F250 I know a guy who has one. My computer has VDH4 on it and his has VDH2 on it does anyone know if this will work and what the difference might be. If this helps the VDH2 came out of the same year model as mine.

It *should* work, as long as everything else is equal. You both have the same trannys, right?? I have VDH5 tunes in my truck, and it's a VDH2 PCM.

4R100 is the only auto Ford offered for the 99-03 7.3 motor. Joe was referring to auto vs. manual tranny.

Yep -- auto vs. manual... That PCM should work fine for you.

Don't know if this was ever figured out.

But, the VDH2 thru VDH5's are all interchangable. Kinda what Izzy was getting at.

The 2's where in the early '02 models. 3's and 4's were in later 02's and the number just stands for the version at the time. Versions changed when there were factory updates during production. In the 2003 7.3, all pcm's were VDH5.

That's why Joe has a VDH2 pcm with VDH5 tunes on his truck. His tunes account for the factory updates.
