Bullet Proof Diesel is known for its many solutions to Ford diesel issues. In these next few blogs we will be discussing the top five different components they have to fixing these issues. As to not overwhelm you with a lengthy article we’ll take it part by part.
The fuel injection control module (FICM) does what its name implies, but we are here to break that down for you. When the vehicle is started or running the FICM will send an electrical impulse to the injectors. This action controls when and how much fuel is pushed to the engine cylinder in order to keep the vehicle running properly at its prime performance level. When this module begins to go bad it is quite obvious. It will be extremely difficult to start the vehicle, there will be a long crank before it kicks on. The truck will lose performance and see a loss in fuel economy. In addition there will be less than 48 volts of power running through the vehicle. It is imperative to replace the FICM as soon as possible to avoid not being able to start your truck all together when it is bad.
The Bullet Proof FICM is designed with improvements to avoid these common failures. When a module starts to go bad it is usually caused by a low voltage battery. When there isn’t enough power left in the battery for the FICM to pull energy, the circuit board within the module will become damaged. What makes Bullet Proof better is the military grade electrical components to improve quality and durability, the upgraded circuit board to alleviate overheating, and an aluminum case to better dissipate heat as well.

Tips and Advice - FAQ
Q. When should I get my oil changed?
Answer: Basic oil and filter change should be performed every 3000 Miles. True Synthetic oil and filter change should be performed every 5000 Miles. Basic oil and filter change with BG MOA Additive every 4000 Miles. (Check your oil level more often with a longer change interval)
Q. How often should I rotate my tires?
Answer: Your tires should be rotated every other oil change, or every 6000 miles. Neglecting to rotate tires is a major cause of premature tire wear
Q. Is it really necessary to replace my timing belt at the recommended interval?
Answer: YES. The failure of a timing belt in many cars can result in major engine damage. The cost of repairing an engine with a broken timing belt is much greater than the cost of a timing belt replacement.
Q. What does it mean if my "check engine" or "service engine soon" light comes on?
Answer: There are many sensors and computerized components that manage your vehicle’s engine performance and emissions. When one of these fails, the "check engine" light is illuminated. Although your car may seem to run fine, it is important to have the issue addressed to prevent long-term problems.
Q. What should I do if my car starts to overheat?
Answer: This is a very serious problem – if your car overheats for too long, you can damage your engine. As soon as possible, find a safe place to pull off the road and shut the engine off! Do not attempt to check the fluid level in the radiator as it can burn you. The best thing to do is have your car towed to a repair shop.
