Just looked up some numbers, part number for the International 1/2 shell is WAY cheaper. The part number is 5010598R92

From Ford it lists for $367.40 (at Tousley) P/N is 4C3Z12B599BARM There is also a $150 core from them it seems.

International is something like $135.78!!! I'm assuming still a $150 core too.

However, just be aware that the issues will likely arise again at some point, until it is actually opened up and soldered.

Where did you bring the batteries, or did you have your own load tester?

That's good, now on to the FICM!!!

I had the batteries tested at interstate battery. I'll be testing the ficm as soon as I'm off work today. Couple hours. I hope to find its bad so I can be done with these issues.

More often than not it is the FICM. The batteries really just need to be tested first so someone doesn't throw a bunch of money down on a new FICM only to find it was the batteries all along. It may not be either one though, but these are the most common points, we'll get you up and running good again!

Also just out of curiosity, what oil are you running and what oil filter? How often are your change intervals? Are all 8 injectors original?

I just tested the ficm. With ignition on its 48.0 and on start up its 47.9 to 48.2. Batteries tested perfect. I've been using rotela oil and fram filter. Changing it every 4500 then as the no start began I was changing at 3000.

You tested it running too? The FICM should also be tested with a cold motor as well.

Have you tried pulling any codes yet?

ive fixed a ton of these first step is to see if you have at least 500 psi of high pressure oil if not u woNt start if you have a small internal oil leak it will still start but itll take a while and the colder it is out the better it wil start due to the thickness of the oil..... if you cant get a gauge or scanner pull your icp sensor out and put air to it with a compressor and a rubber tip blow nozzle and listen for your leak its usually a branch tube or the pump itself also put power and ground to your icp regulator while you have the air to it but not for more then 20sec at a time its really simple tho it dont sound it

by the way if a ficm goes bad it will simulate a bad injector 9 times out of 10... and the 03 model does not buzz the injectors unless its been updated

i tested the truck on a cold motor. i did not test it running since it wont start i had a friend crank it for about ten seconds as i took the readings. the voltage never got below 47.9.

my oil pressure is 672 i have a new hpop, new icp, new icp wiring, and the new lines for the high pressure oil rail. the truck starts in the morning when it about 75 to 85 out first start of the day but i have to cycle the key about 5 times. but nomatter what i do it wont start later in the day when its hot out about 95 to 105 even if it sits four 10 hours. could it be the glow plugs? When i get the truck started it runs awesome no problems and plenty of power stock. No smoke and idles perfect.

oh and there is not codes to read. no egine light nothing to tell me anything.

just because the idiot light aint on dont mean theres no codes, BUT you have to have a GOOD scanner to check it you cant just use elcheapo or the cheap one like one they use at autoclone, find someone that has a AE or a snapon and they have to know how too use it...
