Interesting. Any way you can get some pics of the other side? I can't tell what Microcontroller it uses; it appears to be soldered to the "bottom" of the PCB.
It sure as hell doesn't look like it's worth $600!

Man, it was hard enough just to get the cover off. I don't think I could remove the PCB without breaking something (I do want to be able use it, if possible)Interesting.

No doubt.... and yes, I do work with a great many different types of electronics. This is nowhere near $600 worth of electrical PCB and components.It sure as hell doesn't look like it's worth $600!
Hahaha, I laugh every time I get the "extend your factory warranty" fliers inI think you just voided your PCM warranty...
The V6 PCM is still 100% serviceable. I'd like to sell it... as curious as I am to see if the hardware is the same. My belief is that it's the same hardware, but that there is an particular area that needs to be flashed for work with other engines (that might not be SCT-accessible).I never cracked one open, if you still have your V6 around, can you open it and on the other side and check if it really has less drivers?
Yeah, I should watercool the fucker.There is a looooooooooooooot of room on there for expansion. Interesting.
I had to pull my 02 Mustang ECM out when I father-n-law drove it in a ditch full of water.
Looked it was coated in a sealant or something.
Conformal coating. Pretty common for any PCB that's going to be exposed to less than optimal environmental conditions.

Not sure what you mean when you say drivers, but I think I get your point.I think not, technology is basically the same and the PCM is similar but (I don't know how many V6 were built) lets say that if you can make V6 PCM batches with 4 less drivers that would make those PCMs cheaper, you'll do it.
Since I ordered a new PCM, just to rule that out in the electrical problems I'm having, I decided to crack mine open to see if there were any noticeable burn marks, as I've seen others have on some Ford PCMs.
