hi hav pcm ford ranger 2004 plz
What a rip-off! I can't afford all these tools and software thanks Ford
muy interesante
I bought a junkyard pcm same part number. Can i just swap?
Having a Ford vehicle with all the computers locked, where you need a subscription to proprietary Ford software, as well as a special Ford programming tool, is like having a vehicle with a lock on the hood, and only the dealer has the key. What I would like to know is, how can I do this without paying Ford anything? You can buy a programming tool on Ebay for less than $50 that will allow communication with many different vehicle computer systems, but it doesn’t support most Ford vehicles. You can also get open source software to reprogram your system to tune it for better performance or just to control it your own way. Why does this not work with my Ford? Looking at https://scantoolresource.com/ford-scan-tool/ I find that a Ford VCM II costs $1,499.99 from the Ford Rotunda, while the required software subscription costs $49.95 for 2 day access, or up to $849.00 for a year. And this only allows one PC to use the software, and it is locked to that particular PC. It’s obvious that Ford does not want shadetree mechanics to work on their own cars. Access to the computer systems is more important with every new model year. So what are we supposed to do?
I've ECU programmed my Ford Ranger 3.2 and it went from 200 to 270 horsepower and it even had the fuel consumption reduced I'm very impressed
Sir price for original vcm2 software and hardware send me ditels please
Can I possibly change some parameters on it, different than what it calls for like tune it to my engine with performance upgrades?
what should be online
Awesome very thorough
Thank you it worked
100%
Ford is such a ripoff. Have to have a subscription. People wouldn’t need to reprogram anything if they made things right the first time
Can you imagine buying a computer and then dell making people pay a monthly subscription fee to install software updates? Give me a break
como desinmobilizar ecu sme-101
I have an 04 f150 5.4 truck that someone put an 05 4.6 in, also a used pcm that they apparently programmed the keys to. My problem is that the computer is looking for vct's that this engine doesn't have and the symptoms are like they are stuck. Can this be reprogrammed to delete vct's?
I need my computer programs to handle the extra power and I can't find anywhere to program it
All this work on a 95 model
I have an enquiry for the pcm. I use ford explorer 1997 v6 SOHC. I have a failure on ignition system. So, I ordered a second hand pcm with the same number, but it is from v6 OHV. Will it be a problem? Now, the engine is running good but I am not sure for the transmission program. Will it be the same? Many thanks in advance for your advice.
Is it possible to copy a pcm to a different one? I am doing an engine swap from a 1993 5.8 l v8 f250 xlt to a 2001 3.8 l v6 mustang. Id much rather just reprogram it than redo all of the wiring.
I m interesting in programming clases ?do you offer training classes
Can you please explain the last 3 alphabet digits on the 05 mustang ecu id codes??
