Shipping your 1995 Powerstroke PCM for flashing or repair requires careful packaging and adherence to specific guidelines. This article outlines the procedures for shipping your PCM, FICM, or IDM to ensure safe arrival and efficient processing. Understanding these guidelines will help streamline the process and minimize potential delays.
Shipping Your 1995 Powerstroke PCM: Key Considerations
Round-trip shipping costs cover sending your PCM to us for testing, repair, or flashing, and its return. If purchasing a new PCM or IDM, the cost covers shipping to you and return of the core unit. Upon order placement, you’ll receive a prepaid shipping label and instructions for the nearest drop-off location. Our shipping rates are typically 15-20% lower than standard carrier rates.
If you prefer to use your own shipping method, bypass the online checkout and ship your component with a completed Customer & Vehicle Information sheet. An invoice will be sent upon receipt. Download the form here: Customer & Vehicle Information Sheet.
Packaging Your 7.3 Powerstroke PCM for Safe Transit
Proper packaging is crucial to prevent damage during shipping. Use a sturdy cardboard box and ample cushioning material such as bubble wrap or crumpled paper. Avoid using envelopes, even padded ones, without a rigid outer box. Damage incurred during transit due to insufficient packaging is the sender’s responsibility.
Specific Instructions for FICM, IDM, and PCM with Chips for a 95 Powerstroke
- FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module): Remove the rubber grommets before shipping.
- IDM (Injector Driver Module): Do not ship the IDM with the steel mounting bracket.
- PCM (Powertrain Control Module): Do not ship the PCM with the plastic mounting bracket. If you are including a performance chip with your PCM for 95 Powerstroke flash programming, ensure it is either installed in the PCM or sealed in a resealable bag to prevent loss.
Choosing a Shipping Carrier for your 95 Powerstroke PCM
You are free to choose any carrier for sending your components: FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, etc. We utilize UPS for return shipping. Providing complete and accurate information on the Customer & Vehicle Information sheet will expedite processing and prevent delays. Missing information will necessitate contact from our team, potentially delaying your order.
