Aloha folks, well was able to fill out the guarantee warranty paperwork online via Rock Auto where I purchased the alternator last year. They sent me a new one and it's installed, showing it's charging. I hope I don't get that message again as it could be something else. Now to send back the...

Aloha folks, question in the past year I have replaced my alternator with a Denso reman from Rock Auto. Also had to get a good used PCM ECM, have it flashed and installed. Past 1/2 year about has been fine. No check engine lights, vehicle runs smoothly. A few weeks ago the red colored "Check...

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 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 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 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 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 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 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...

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

www.fs1inc.com/oem-engine-computer-programmed-flashed-2007-ford-explorer-sport-6l2a-12a650-caa.html Aloha Nick, FYI this company was given to me by a parts person for a dealership in my area. He's been trying to help me and didn't want to be in the "middle" as they have to mark it up. Still...

Aloha Nick, I have a 2007 4.0L I hope to find a good used PCM that matches my original, then I'll the Ford dealership flash it and install. Thank you for the tip about charging my battery before going in to the dealership. Mahalo

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 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 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 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, 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 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...

https://store.allcomputerresources.com/2007-ford-sport-trac-explorer-4-0l-6l2a-12a650-bpa-pcm-ecm-ecu-engine-computer.html Aloha Dillard and DAM, if it's is my PCM engine computer, is it better to go to the dealer and get my original one reprogrammed or smarter to go with one like in the web...
