The PCM shouldn't be much of a concern. I'm running an unlocked F150 PCM in my Bronco. All that's different is the calibration loaded into the PCM.

I hope you are right; I am not at all a SW or CAN expert. My exposure to it is relatively recent, 2023MY+ vehicles.I belong to a forum called diog.net.. Well I don't contribute much there. It is a read-only forum for me. And I have learned a great deal about this subject. I've read about and watched literally hundreds of mechanics in the nation. Use modules that are used or new and install them in. Many different makes and models across platforms in places. They don't belong or did not originate. The vehicle architecture, it's quite simple and ninety nine percent of the modules have the same pin outs for the same vehicles purposes. The computers communicate together the same way. T This is really not that difficult to do, and there are several ways to solve the problems that may arise.
Plan a would be to simply program the Broncos modules to think they are in a different the vehicle.
When b would be to rob the actual modules from the other vehicle and install them in the bronco. This is a very good prospect, as ninety nine percent of the wiring harness is the same across platforms
Unlocking a PCM is the only way to edit or make changes to the calibration in newer/modern locked PCMs, which is how 2.7/3.0 Broncos are able to be fully custom tuned.Wait, what?
Care to provide us with more info on the how's and why's of an F150 PCM?
Thank you. I've been trying to explain this for a long time. You can just take a module. That is compatible, and do the programming and configuration to use it for your desired application... This is the way bosch, and ford intended itThe PCM shouldn't be much of a concern. I'm running an unlocked F150 PCM in my Bronco. All that's different is the calibration loaded into the PCM.

As little as I know about modern “modulization” of the auto, I actually knew this was a thing. I had a ‘95 ski boat with an LT1 Vette in and to get it to run best at my altitude, we remapped a PCM from plain jane 350 TBI. Ran like a raped ape.The PCM shouldn't be much of a concern.
