When it comes to maintaining the robust performance of your 7.3L engine, especially its diagnostic systems accessed through OBD2, ensuring your components are in top condition is crucial. At carparteu.com, we specialize in the expert repair and testing of your critical engine control modules, including the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), IDM (Injector Driver Module), and FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module). To streamline the process and ensure your parts arrive safely for our Compatible Obd2 7.3 diagnostics and repair services, we’ve established a straightforward shipping procedure.
Our shipping policy, effective November 8, 2018, is designed to simplify sending your modules to us and getting them back to you efficiently. The shipping cost displayed at checkout covers round trip shipping. This means it includes sending your module to our facility for testing or repair and then shipping it back to you after the service is complete. If you are purchasing a PCM or IDM upfront, the shipping fee covers sending the new unit to you and the return shipping of your old core unit back to us.
Upon placing your order, we will promptly email you a prepaid shipping label. This label simplifies the shipping process by allowing you to drop off your package at the most convenient location, whether it’s a UPS Store or a Post Office. Our negotiated shipping rates are designed to be more economical, typically 15%-20% lower than standard retail rates, saving you money compared to purchasing a label directly from a shipping carrier. We offer this service as a convenience to our customers, aiming to make the process of sending in your modules for testing or core returns as hassle-free as possible.
Should you prefer not to use our round trip shipping service, you have the option to ship your item to us using your preferred carrier. In this case, please bypass the online checkout and payment process. Instead, simply include a completed Customer & Vehicle Information sheet inside the package with your module. We will then process your service and send you an invoice separately.
Proper Packaging is Key for Compatible OBD2 7.3 Module Safety
Regardless of the shipping method you choose, the responsibility for proper packaging rests with you. Given the sensitive electronic nature of PCMs, IDMs, and FICMs, especially when ensuring compatible OBD2 7.3 diagnostic capabilities are maintained, secure packaging is paramount to prevent damage during transit. This means using ample bubble wrap or crumpled paper to cushion the module on all sides within the box. Crucially, you must use a stiff cardboard box for shipping; envelopes, even padded ones, are insufficient and do not provide the necessary protection. If your module sustains damage during shipping due to inadequate packaging, it will be considered your responsibility.
Preparation Guidelines for Sending Your Modules:
To further ensure the safe transit and efficient processing of your modules for compatible OBD2 7.3 diagnostics and service, please adhere to these preparation guidelines:
- FICM: Before shipping your Fuel Injection Control Module, please remove any rubber grommets attached to it.
- IDM: Do not ship your Injector Driver Module with the steel mounting bracket still attached. Please remove the bracket before sending the IDM.
- PCM: Similarly, if you are sending in your Powertrain Control Module, remove any plastic mounting brackets before shipping. If your PCM utilizes a performance chip, please send the chip along with your PCM. This allows us to test the PCM with your chip to ensure full compatible OBD2 7.3 functionality and identify any potential issues related to chip integration.
Essential Customer and Vehicle Information Sheet
To help us expedite the diagnostic and repair process and guarantee compatible OBD2 7.3 system functionality post-service, it is essential to include a completed Customer & Vehicle Information Sheet with your shipment. Please download, print, and fill out our Customer & Vehicle Information Sheet completely. Missing information will necessitate us contacting you, which will inevitably cause delays in processing your order and returning your serviced module.
You have the flexibility to choose your preferred shipping carrier for sending items to us, including FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, or any other carrier that suits your needs. For returning items to you after service, we utilize UPS to ensure reliable and trackable delivery.
Important Note Regarding Performance Chips:
IF YOU ARE SENDING A PERFORMANCE CHIP IN WITH YOUR PCM FOR TESTING, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CHIP IS EITHER INSTALLED IN THE PCM OR SECURELY PLACED IN A RESEALABLE BAG. This precaution is necessary to prevent your performance chip from becoming lost within the packing material during shipping. This ensures we can accurately test your PCM and chip combination for compatible OBD2 7.3 operation and return everything to you in perfect order.
By following these guidelines, you help us provide you with efficient and effective service, ensuring your 7.3L engine’s diagnostic systems, accessed through compatible OBD2 tools, are functioning optimally. We look forward to assisting you with your PCM, IDM, and FICM service needs.
