Indeed, when are you going to do the swapping?

Parker, not really swapping much. It'll be a project for nights after work. It's gonna be a long day if I try to do it all at once. The valve covers have To come off to get to the injectors.

Oh. Well you can bring it over here to my place and I'll help.

i will be investing in one of these. gets only a small amount of horsepower, adds over 100 ft/lbs of torque and lowers egt's up to 200 degrees. even been known to get better fuel economy.

What happened to the stuff you were gonna buy off that other one?

Buy off what other one?

The turbo off someones else's they were parting out?

Have you not been paying attention? I'm buying another motor from an 07.

I guess I didn't "read" the thread like you read all threads.

I sent it in a group text.

I was poking fun at you.

When do you get this new stuff?

The motor in 2 weeks hopefully. The rest, as the money becomes available.

How are you going to pull, install?

Getting the motor for the ficm, turbo and spare heads.

Pull it with an engine hoist.

You're too funny.

How's the FICM swap going?

Waiting to go to Austin to get Russell to do it. Ford here has been dicking me around.

So does it need to be re-flashed, then?

No the new ficm needs to be programmed then flashed.

Hop to, that's doesn't take ford very long to do. That way you don't have to scoot around in an explorer or ranger (whatever we're calling it these days) without doors !

Was told by a friend that worked at ford to just put the good one in. It'll pop a check engine light that'll say Vin not matched or something to that nature and to just delete it. So I'll be doing that sometime this weekend and possibly drilling and tapping my exhaust manifold for the pyro meter for my edge cts monitor. Tired of having a $1000 piece of equipment sitting for over a year not being used.

Hell yeah, I know the feeling there.

The FICM will need to be programmed before installing it. No way around that. I've dealt with this on several occasions for work.
