Bulletproof 6.0L Power Stroke FICM

The onset of fall and winter usually ushers in a host of cold-weather problems for 6.0L Power Stroke owners. One well-documented issue that’s often masked during warmer months but surfaces when cooler weather arrives, is fuel injection control module (FICM) failure.The onset of fall and winter usually ushers in a host of cold-weather problems for 6.0L Power Stroke owners. One well-documented issue that’s often masked during warmer months but surfaces when cooler weather arrives, is fuel injection control module (FICM) failure. The FICM is in charge of sending the precise, 48-volt pulse that each injector solenoid needs in order to fire its respective injector, and when one goes south, the voltage sent to fire the injectors drops. This causes hard starts, poor cold-engine idling, lack of performance, and a decrease in fuel economy. Weak or dying batteries, as well as the 6G alternators found on ’03 to ’07 Super Dutys, are to blame for most FICM failures.
