This is the Alliant Power AP65123, a fuel injection control module (FICM) remanufactured by Alliant Power for the Ford 6.0L Power Stroke with an engine built on or after 9/22/2003: F-Series Super Duty through the 2004 model year, and the Excursion through 1/31/2005. It comes pre-programmed, so it does not need dealer programming for the trucks it is listed for. It replaces Ford 4C3Z12B599ABRM. A refundable core applies. The same module sold with no core is AP65123N.
A weak FICM shows up as hard cold starts, a rough or stumbling idle until the engine warms up, a miss under load or a crank with no start. Low battery or charging voltage does the same thing and is what kills these modules, so load test both batteries and check the alternator before you fit a new one. Stuck injector spool valves on a cold engine can look like a bad module too.
Confirm Fitment Before You Order
Three pre-programmed numbers cover the 6.0L and they do not swap: AP65122 for engines built before 9/22/2003, AP65123 for 9/22/2003 through 2004 (Excursion through 1/31/2005), and AP65124 for 2005 to 2007 F-Series, Excursion built 2/1/2005 on and 2004 to 2010 E-Series. Send us your VIN and the engine build date from the engine data sticker. Call 530-668-0818 and we will confirm the exact match at no charge before anything ships.

Fits / Applications
- 2003 to 2004 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty, 6.0L Power Stroke, engine built 9/22/2003 or later
- Ford Excursion, 6.0L Power Stroke, built 9/22/2003 through 1/31/2005
- Engines built before 9/22/2003 take AP65122. 2005 to 2007 F-Series, Excursion built 2/1/2005 on and E-Series take AP65124.
Disconnect both batteries before you unplug the module. Check the harness connectors for bent pins and oil, and fix weak batteries or a weak alternator first, because low system voltage is the usual reason a FICM fails.
