My father-in-law has found a new 03 5.9 CR. Supposedly, the engine has 30 minutes of run time on an engine stand. He is thinking about this engine for a conversion. The engine is missing the ECM. What information would be needed to get a new one that would work on it. Where would we get it at? Does anyone have an approximate cost?

 

try ebay or dealer, either way plan on going to the dealer to get whatever u buy reflashed to your trucks vin.

 

you would also need to know if its a 235hp or 305 hp engine, if i remember correctly those computers are $1000, maybe hard to program with out it being in a veh. also they may have a problem with programing the comp. in a veh. that did not come with that engine......emission violation!

 

We were thinking about putting it in an 2000 F350. I didn't know there was a 235 hp motor. What would it have been built for? I thought that they were all 305 hp. If it is a 235 hp motor, what is the difference? I would think that we would need an ECM programmed for a manual shift truck. Thanks for the replys guys. Any other info is greatly appreciated!!

 

03 had 3 engines. 235hp was for calif with cat, 245hp SO no cat rest of country, 305hp HO no cat rest of country. just what I recall. Someone will correct me if wrong.

 

We do conversions ecm's almost everyday. A good source for info is Scott @ http://destroked.com

I hope this helps

 

I didn't know you guys did that. Thanks for the info Bob!!

 

believe the so was 350

 

I'm certain you mean 250 hp / 460 tq
