ECM Tuning for 2020 6.7

Any PCM (or module I'd say) that you buy from a dealer will need to be flashed/programmed thru the Ford IDS or equivalent system. So it's not going to plug-n-play out the box. You don't have a bad idea, it's just going to need a bit more work or other modules such as the TCM to get the tuning that supports all functions.

BTW I did what you are talking about with my old 6.0L PCM and FICM. I had a spare set "just in case" I needed to swap out for some reason.

It’s funny you mentioned the 6-oh. My 07’ was partly the inspiration behind the thinking. If I were one to list all the vehicles I’ve owned in my signature line it would take up half a page on diesels alone! I’ll be making a call tomorrow to verify, but what I was told yesterday is that the ecm is strictly for fuel and air mapping, and that all the 2020 250 and 350 6.7s get the same program from the factory. If it does have to be formatted, I think I’ll get it done when it goes in for the camera recall and alignment. As for the trans tuning, I do realize that’s a separate program, and I hope to obtain that through whom ever writes the ecm tunes. The truck does run pretty strong stock, but the flat spots are pretty irritating, and I’ve experienced what I would call dead pedal on numerous occasions when trying to suddenly accelerate when it’s between gears. It doesn’t know what to do for a couple of seconds.
