Update ficm replaced
Well now,
Ford did find my FICM to be bad as well as they replaced the rear main seal due to it leaking (all 04-07) run the risk of a rear main leak.
anyways, they kept my truck a week due the the FICM being backorder, I picked up my truck and it drove alright. there is a slight 1 or 2 second pause when you shift from park to drive or vica-versa not always but often. So i desided to put my programmer back on, because in stock form the truck is kinda a dog, you know what i mean. We'll not so fast, the programmer is on and the shift points are firmer and longer but no real power. so whats the deal now. I scanned for a DTC and what do you know I have a new one.
P0487- exhast gas,recirculation throttle position control circuit. AHHHHH
I know they reflashed the FICM it has its own software but the programmer dosen't work now.
What am I to do, go ask the dealer why my programmer doesn't work on the truck? ha ha I dont think so.
Any suggestions?

all better now
I did lose my tune, but bullydog was able to send me the newest to reset my tuner, then I installed version 2.5 which the truck did not like, the trans shifted firmer but there was no power upgrades, so they sent me version 2.4 and everything is working great now. I think they are a great company to stand behind there product 3 years after purchase.
My dealer did a good job too, its just the hassels of running a tuner I guess. As for the FICM low voltage seems to be the killer, so please check your batteries and alt. often, a friends went out 2 weeks before mine and it cost him 1600.00 to fix it.
I hope this helps someone else, like this site has help me in the past.
