Identifying Your Ford 6.0 FICM Part Number

There are two ways to identify the right preprogrammed Fuel Injector Control Module part number for your Ford truck. To get the correct FICM, you need to get either the engine model year, or the engine serial number. The VIN does not provide enough information for this part. Proper identification will help ensure you get the right replacement part. Here are the two methods of identification:

Method 1: Engine Model Year

The easiest way to identify the engine model year is to look at the valve cover emission label. It will show an engine build date. Here are corresponding Ford part numbers for various engine model years:

* Certain 04MY F-Series and 04/05MY Excursions have an engine model year that differs from the model year of the vehicle. Verify Engine MY by referencing the valve cover emission label. For example, an early-build 04MY F-Series will have a 03MY emission label and require 4C3Z-12B599-CRM, while a late-build 04MY F-Series will have a 04MY emission label and require 4C3Z-12B599-DRM.

Method 2: Engine Serial Number

If the valve cover emission label is not legible, the next method is to identify the original engine serial number. It can be found etched on the left rear corner of the crankcase. The engine serial number contains the following information:

• Engine family
• Build location
• Sequential build number

Example serial number 60HU2U6000173:

• “6.0” identifies the engine family.
• “HU2U” identifies the manufacturing location.
• “6000173” identifies the sequential build number.

We can look up this number in the Historical Vehicle Build of Materials (HVBOM) system, and identify the correct FICM. For earlier model years, it is best to rely on the engine serial number. There are several build date breaks for the 2004 through 2006 model years:

• 6.0L engines built in Huntsville, AL have a serial number break of 1 to 299,092 (2003 to early 2006 MY) or 299,093 & Up (late 2006 MY).
• 6.0L engines built in Indianapolis, IN have a serial number break of 6,000,000 to 6,723,721 (2003 to early 2006 MY) or 6,723,722 & Up (late 2006 MY).
