I hope so, Keeping my fingers crossed. I couldnt find a new oem battery clamp so I cleaned the old up and patched the hole in the battery. Hope it last till I can replace it.

Advanced Auto will load test your batteries for free last I knew, wouldn't hurt to have that done. Batteries are cheaper than the FICM.

I got a new battery because the old one had a green light on it and before I could get to auto zone the light went out.. Your right about the ficm I replaced it about 4 months ago at $900.00. I dont want to go through that again.

Swamps is big with the 7.3 stuff. It's a diesel performance shop.

I would just buy a good used FICM next time on the forum, or try the repair procedure yourself.

New from Ford they are indeed expensive. Swamps isn't going to sell you a new one...

I'd get Innovative tuning if it was me, Power Hungry Performance does them also.

well the problem showed back up today. started driving my truck when i put i in neutral it sat idling fine for a couple of mins. then it died. It started right back up but did not have any throttle response, I shut it off for a couple of mins. and fired it back up and then I had trottle response for a min. or so, then it would idle up a little faster and then idle down till it almost died again..Please help..
