If you personally know a source for a rebuilt piece that wouldn't be *locked* I'm all ears. The few rebuilder/dealers I've contacted all state that what I will supplied with will be programmed to my trucks VIN, the pcm will be identical to what I have & NOT programmable.BOOSTEDEVERYTHING wrote: ↑2024 May 30, 14:10 And the J1850 PWM PCMs are programmable usually. There were just certain ranger PCMs that were not. You could find someone with a good cable and have them try to reflash the pcm. Or maybe the dealership. Like I said…you have to have the correct cable and software and attempt to program it, if it will not program then it will need to be replaced. The new one looks and operates the same, it is just programmable. It may have been as simple as a couple jumpers or resistors that were just not installed on the older PCMs to allow for tuning. Or it could have been the type of eprom used in the older PCMs.
