well, the car is already on the dealership, today is supposed to start working on it, I already got the brand new PCM from ford, all is there to make this happen, so I suppose to get some news at the end of the day, I will keep you guys on the loop!!
hello guys!! finally some news: the PCM have arrived to the dealership and i already have the appointment to bring the car there this Saturday, so i am pretty exited about it, it is been a long time since this project started and i can't wait to see this engine running finally!
i will keep you...
update: i don't know if someone is heard something about a corrupted PCM!! :facepalm: well that is what the guy from Garret Performance in Ohio just told me about my PCM, he said that he could't do anything in my computer cause the program does not allow to him to change or do anything on it, he...
actually i had a conversation yesterday with another tech guy from another ford dealer here at kendall, they have a Mustang division in their shop and he told me that yes! it is possible to program those computer manually without matching the AS-build files from the VIN# so he gave me a hope to...
naaah!! not an option, this is racing stuff, you will lost from the AC to others factory features not to mention that is not gonna control the 10 speed transmission, also they said that is not fully compatible with GEN 3 coyotes yet.
thank you anyways but ford performance control pack us...
well... yeah you got late on this!! no worries, i will explain: the donor car is gone and lost trace by the guys that sold me the engine and they did not gave me the matching computers from that car, not sure why or how but after some problems that I had with those guys i lost communication with...
i just talked with PBH performance the guys never got something like this before!!! they will start to research about it and found any possible solution! will see...
exactly, i know that i can't connect this with the mustang network, i will lost the dashboard and start it from the factory button, etc, but at least it will usable until a found the matched computers bundle!
another thing is i found another car, originally a 2019 GT that matches with the parts numbers that i need, so i bought everything new from ford in order to get programmed on that car but at the end the technician told me that he can't do it because we are doing a duplication of vin # on...
the VIN number is not matching with the ford's files, since the actual VIN number was originally an EB the files necessary wont work! this Ford's IDS is so stupid that you can not do anything "custom" all is based in the info from the VIN #, that is what they told me!
i am sure that it have to...
i have another post about my swap engine from ecoboost 1st phase to Coyote gen 3 and i did not get the matching PCM + BCM + Keys fron the donate car, so i am basically stuck 3 months ago trying to re programming the computers or avoid the PATS system with no luck! since i could not found another...
yes, this is my last resource! i will buy this if is necessary until i found the donate car to get the computers, because the only downside with this is that i will lost communication with the car and i will lost cluster info RPM, Speed, etc, but of course the car will be usable.
i can't find any of this 2018+ mustang GT with auto transmission to get the BCM + PCM + Keys so far!! it is crazy!!
ford sell this parts of course, i ordered a brand new BCM and PCM and Keys but nobody wants to program it!!!
update: still nothing! i could not found the PCM+BCM matching combo, it is hard to found this without the all engine combo!! so i sent the PCM already to Ohio to Garret performance, those guys do PATS bypassing on this PCM to swap this engines to hod rods and i will try to put this as alone unit...
