    Aloha sws! Thank you for confirming it won't work, I had someone ask and I felt shape wise it was different. Probably brackets are different too. Take care now! Mahalo!

    Aloha Bed cover 2nd generation/1st generation

    Aloha Folks, quick question. Will a 2nd generation factory split bed cover fit on a 1st generation Sport Trac? I'm sure the answer is no but thought I'd ask as I have an extra cover with the brackets and hardware and was asked by a 1st Gen owner. Thank you as always! Mahalo

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick, yes I sure will. Not sure about a local company, will research. Have found one south of me and of course in other states. I want to make sure whoever rebuilds it, they do more than just clean it! So, I will use my extra steel wool and clean up my original PCM, wipe it down so that is...

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick! Went in last Friday to a Ford service/dealership that would take my truck in and do the swap/flash/reprogram! Unfortunately the cost here in California is high, $220/hr or per item! Better than another one in my area that was $260/hr! My mechanic, a former Ford master mech, said to...

    Aloha Dam, Dillard, Todd Z, want to thank you all for your help! By going through all the areas you folks recommended, my mechanic and I could dial in on specific areas to look. My mech used to be a master mech at Ford til the dealership dropped the line and only kept Subaru, so he was happy I...

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick! Thank you very much for the pictures! I see you were able to pick up a ground connection nearby. What gauge did you use, 14g, 12g? Thanks again! Mahalo! PS: nice paint job, assuming that's the type to help with heat dissipation.

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick, I received the used PCM and have an appointment with Ford next Friday to flash it and install, plus reprogram my keys. If you have a picture of how you added additional grounding would be great. Thank you very much. Mahalo!

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick, got it! I was going to ask you about that! I give you vehicle folks credit because you're dealing with DC current, which has its issues. I mainly work with AC current in residential and commercial. I always want to be careful not to fry anything as well as not to get hit with...

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Update: I was able to find an exact used PCM from another 2007 Explorer. They are going to give me 90days warranty so I'll get into Ford as soon as the part arrives and they can flash it per my VIN and install. Hope it works then I'll have my original one rebuilt and ready to go. Mahalo

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick, I will try to find a good used PCM that is an exact match as mine, numbers. Question: a local Ford dealership service told me to reflash my original PCM they'd charge $220. I wonder if I found the spare PCM and brought it to them if they'd reflash it and install it? I've never...

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Aloha Nick thank you for this information! Is it worth it to get a remanufactured PCM that has been reflashed with a lifetime warranty? I found a company in Florida, they say they also give you instructions how to reprogram my keys so my vehicle starts. That's also a concern, plugging...

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick, Here are the main codes that come up: PO135, 141, 155, 161 and 443. Sometimes the first 4 only. Usually the vehicle runs fine. A few times at low rpm's it sputtered a bit. A couple of times the "Check Charging System" came on. That was strange as I had a brand new Denso alternator...

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha Nick, the same check engine light codes come on, mostly in regard to the O2 sensors. My mechanic checked all the sensors and their heaters, working fine. Truck will run well for a bit, then I hear some noises especially at lower rpm's and the check engine light will come on. Hasn't done it...

    Aloha: PCM ECU questions

    Aloha, my mechanic feels my issues are coming from my original PCM ECU. Since I've own this 07 4.0, 2015, it's never been in a dealership. So, it's never been updated. Question: should I get a refurbished PCM and if so who would you recommend? Or for $220 at a local dealership, they will...

    Aloha: Check Engine Codes O2...

    Aloha DAM & Dillard, okay my mechanic pulled these codes off today: PO 135, 141, 155, 161. He showed me my wiring and connectors, they all look good, not melted, stained with an liquid. The wiring harness to the PCM looks good too. He used to work at Ford and said the issue with getting a...

    Aloha Dillard, and on the way home the Check Engine light came on, lol! It's okay. My mechanic will pull the codes tomorrow, I will let you all know what is going on and double check the wiring. Mahalo!

    Aloha: Check Engine Codes O2...

    Aloha Dam and Dillard, my mechanic went under my vehicle, it sounds like the wires are okay. He believes my PCM needs to be reprogrammed at the dealer, they charge $220 for this service. Question: does the PCM from time to time need to be reprogrammed? I realize mine is now 16yrs old. Would...
