Jeff Clyde Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Just a heads up if anyone was not aware : My buddy needed a halfshell for his truck, current pricing from Ford was $417 plus taxes. For price comparison I check out our local International dealer, $186 tax included ! They can sell to customer's cheaper than the dealer can buy it from Ford !

Keith Browning Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I hope this comes as no surprise to you. You can get most things from International... and cheaper. Once it leaves an International distributor or whatever, everyone involved with ford parts distribution has to get a piece of the pie.

Buddy_M Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Last one I bought was a GB reman. Cost was 275 exchanged, and haven't had any more issues with the truck yet, and customer is happy and that is all that matters. Actually bought another one for that price that is on my shelf waiting for the next truck to come through with a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Damn... I guess I have to drop the price of the FICMs I have on Kijiji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 part number for an international half shell? Every once in a while a half shell shows up on ebay for what seems to be dirt cheap. I always suspected it had to be an international part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Better yet, does anybody know the International part number for a FICM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Clyde Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 FICM part number 4307223R91. Half shell part number 5010598R92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown99 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 That would be me that sells them on ebay for $180. I started an e business a few years ago selling mostly powerstroke parts and mustang parts. For some reason, the 6.0 parts are very popular. Dorman also makes a repair circuit board. Sell price is around $180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Most retail parts we put in, mostly at the customers request, do not cover labour in there policies. We have an International dealer just down the road from us and it would be most beneficial to start getting parts from them. Can anyone answer how International is as far as warrantying there parts labour wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is your plan then why not go there/call there and ask yourself... you will need to develop a relationship to some degree anyway.

blown99 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Warranty somewhat depends on the dealer. All parts are 1yr over the counter. One dealer I worked at - sell a motor over the counter and it failed, we replaced it, even in if it went in a Ford pickup. The current dealership is - they give you a replacement part over the counter. I think the first dealership was doing it correctly though (or else they would not have been paid) As far as IDM's go, if you bought and IH complete ficm and it failed, we would have no way of programming a replacement ficm under warranty.

Keith Browning Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I don't think programming is an issue as all Ford FICM's do not come programmed - It used to be hit or miss at one time but I cannot remember the last time I replaced a complete FICM that wasn't blank. I think if the part is covered, that is sufficient for most except maybe the DIY'er. Half-shells don't require programming. Don't know if this has been asked, does International sell FICM Half-shells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown99 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 What I was trying to say was if a over the counter guy came and bought a complete ficm, had it programmed for his ford pickup at the ford dealer or someone with IDS, then it failed, me as an IH tech can not program it if I was to replace it under the parts and labor warranty. International sells the halfshells. You are correct that they do not have to be programmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Does anyone know what the core charge is on half shells through international? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordracer Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think I bought a few of them from you on ebay blown99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown99 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Quite possibly. A lot of ford techs doing side work buy a few at a time. The cores are $245 through IH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Would anyone on here be able to get me a good price on a couple halfshells? I will provide cores first. Our international dealer is about an hour and a half away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 FYI Ford is going to start offering FICMs pre-programmed to a particular year....no PMI required. Just slap the puppy in and go to town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 FYI Ford is going to start offering FICMs pre-programmed to a particular year....no PMI required. Just slap the puppy in and go to town. They did that a few years ago. I thought they stopped doing it because people were still recommended to get the flash updated, but hardly anybody did.

Matt Saunoras Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Not to change the subject but bulletproof diesel is now offering their own in house built half shell. They are built from scratch so no core charge. I've had a couple oem half shells come my way because these guys don't need them anymore. You'll be able to tell if one of their halfs were installed. The outer case is billet aluminum and quite pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Don't go to International looking for a FICM halfshell or be prepared for some strange looks. You better call it an IDM bottom or else.. $136 out the door, we have a wholesale account with them but I've never been down there before.

Alex Bruene Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I recently called IH to price a FICM for a friend. Their FICM was more expensive than ours. Is it a Canada thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Its possible a complete ficm is more but halfshells are quite a bit less. A halfshell from ford lists for $556.67 and 10% over cost is $367.40. A whole FICM on the other hand would list for $725.00 and 10% over is $478.50.
