    No, you can't do this.

    I believe I spoke to you on the phone earlier. What ECM is in it, doubt ford is using a dodge ecm? EFI currently supports 06-07 CM849 Cummins Diesel ECM (5.9) and 07-09 CM2100A Cummins Diesel ECM (6.7)
    I did find a place that tunes them but they didnt list what they use. They looked like a 18 wheeler shop.

    Some of the details available online don't directly state that the engine/ECM is the same, but it doesn't say that they are different either.

    Perhaps this falls into the same black hole that consumes all the Duramax engines used in a vast array of motor homes????

    In any case, lets find out one way or the other for sure. Can you please PM/email me the VIN from your truck, and if that doesn't work out through us checking, can you please take a photo of your ECM and email it to me.

    email is cindy at efilive dot com.

    Cheers

    I would like to know this as well as I have a couple 6.7 powered F650s that would like a tune. They say CM2100 on the ECM, but the plug is a tad different than the ones used in the Dodge application. I will try and get a couple pictures.

    If they're 2100 ECMs, try to read them out. Should be a pretty easy test, if they read then it would be a matter of mapping the OSs if they're different. If not, then who knows.

    Here are a couple pictures of the ECM on a Ford F650 with the rear gear train motor.

    Thanks for posting the pictures. It's not the same ECM as used in the trucks, but I'll make a few enquiries and see how we go.

    Cheers

    Cummins Industrial ECM's are different than the Automotive ones.
