[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16321596, member: 39344"] The module is the same but the programming was different for your trim level, 4wd/2wd and engine. So it was not a plug and play endeavor. So even if you were to take it to Ford they would have to download the original programming with IDS, install the new module and then reupload the stored program. If the original module was completely useless you would enter a build code and the IDS would get it off the Ford database and upload it to the new module. Even finding one from the same year, same engine, same 4x4 system would still need an individual program to fuction correctly. It was a terrible designed system and the early 02-05 trucks had massive issues with the circuit boards going bad. New updated module usually fixed it. [/QUOTE]
