Keith Browning Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 No doubt that if you have tried to get a GEM for a truck you have been told that it may "take a while" to get one. They cite a shortage of cores as being the issue. Well my shop is now waiting for two. One of which is for a 2001 F650 that just needs a software update... TSB 02-1-5 to correct a reoccurring C1149 DTC. Since a F650 cannot be identified by IDS and has to be entered manually, IDS will not reprogram any module. Does anyone know if there is any place that does this? Our local rebuilder for Ford claims they cannot. The module in question in the TSB is 1C3Z-14B205-CB or later which goes to a reman number EC4Z-12B205-BRM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8WA Sman Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 What about sticking the GEM in a F-350 & flashing it with newer as built data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 You mean as built from the 2000 truck? I don't think that even exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 I am confirming that As Built data does not exist for this truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
