Is there a ford pcm — programmed & ready to install shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?
Most Los Angeles shops don't keep the bench equipment for ford pcm — programmed & ready to install — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country west — about 2-3 days each way.
Does California vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
California requires a biennial Smog Check emissions inspection in most counties through the BAR program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all California and federal requirements.
How does the flat price work across all these years?
The price shown covers the module and all programming for the standard applications and years listed above. Because used-module cost varies by the exact part number, we verify your specific unit before anything ships. In the rare case of a high-cost late-model application, we tell you the price up front and you approve it before we build or charge — you are never hit with a surprise surcharge after ordering.
Will it start the moment I plug it in?
If we cloned your original module, yes — the anti-theft data comes across and it drops right in. If your original could not be read, the module ships programmed to your VIN and needs a one-time PATS parameter reset on the car with two keys. We tell you which case you are in before you pay, never after.
