I honestly didn't see the very last paragraph only the first and i answered it in my reply, but you say you couldn't find a answer yet i googled it and found the answer atleast 50 times? There again not being a jerk but the answer was available.

I am sick and tired of your condescending attitude, I know full well how to look things up on the internet. If you would read my original question you will see that I said I have had contradicting answers. I know what the internet says, I know what the company that I purchased the IDM said AND I know what the Ford dealerships say. Call any Ford dealership and ask their mechanics, they will tell you about 900 for the IDM and 140 to program it and it HAS TO BE PROGRAMMED. I was looking for an actual non ford dealership mechanic to give a straight up answer but I guess that was too ****** much to ask for. This site is a JOKE and so are you!

 

WTF?

How did you get a condescending attitude from that ? Maybe you should look back at the previous post , you instantly thought i was being rude, i wasnt. Im not trying to upset you further or be rude, i really feel like you think im some mean nasty old mechanic just trying to keep you oppressed or something. Quit reading my post like im trying to be a jerk! For gosh sakes lady its the internet, you cant see my facial expression or tone of voice, how can you say im condescending? I swear to you i had no intentions of starting a war by saying you should hire a professional technician. I had no intentions of being condescending when i posted a google link, for heavens sake the first result explained that a new unit from international or ford required programming while most reman units did not.Ford units are new iirc and are blank most remans on the market come pre programmed. That i know of the vin isn't stored in the unit.

To the op does the WTS light come on. If not unplug the fuel heater and check the fuses.

 

I just had the same thing happen to me last night. Has anyone figure out what the cause was? 2002 7.3 diablosport tuned got on it then "Bang" and whole truck shut down. Will not start, a little oil next to the turbo between the valve cover on drivers side. Can't find where it's coming from without tearing it down. Any help would be appreciated.
