I just had the FICM (Fuel injection control module) go out on my 06 F350. It's basically a circuit board that converts 12v to 48v so that the 48v signal can drive the injectors. Rather than do a Ford replacement, I am using an aftermarket piece that costs half as much and uses a 58v signal which drives the injectors a bit more....vigorously.

This is one of the very few issues I've had with the 6.0L (so far). The $450 part stings the wallet a bit, but it could be much worse. The upside is I should be able to turn this part failure into a slight upgrade in HP, Torque, and MPG. Again, it could be worse...
