Service Tips
1.
If the need should arise for you to
have your vehicle serviced, the Banks
Big Hoss Module should be removed
from the engine control unit (EcU).
It is common for the service provider
to connect a computer diagnostic link
to the vehicle regardless of the type
of service being performed. When
the Big Hoss Module is installed,
the computer will return a code that
indicates a memory fault with the
vehicle EcU. The suggested repair for
a fault of this type is replacement of
the EcU.
2.
The operation of the Big Hoss
Module is such that the computer
is directed to reference certain
information in the Big Hoss Module
rather than the ECU. Therefore, the
memory fault that occurs is not an
ECU failure, but rather the presence
of an electronic device that the
diagnostic computer cannot identify.
3.
To avoid confusion about whether
or not an ECU is properly functioning,
simply remove the Big Hoss Module
from the EcU before having the
vehicle serviced, and reinsert the
plastic cap in the EcU access port.
The Big Hoss Module can be easily
accessed from inside the truck, and
it is unnecessary to remove the
computer from the vehicle. The Big
Hoss Module may be reinstalled after
the service is complete.
4.
It is also not uncommon for
a service provider to update the
program in the vehicle EcU. If
this occurs, it is possible that the
programming in the Big Hoss
Module will no longer match the
ECU program. If you experience any
difficulty with the operation of the
Banks Big Hoss Module after service,
check with the service provider
to determine if an update was
performed. Then contact customer
service at Gale Banks Engineering
for an updated Big Hoss Module, if
necessary.
5.
Your system includes two (2)
Banks Power logos that have been
designed to compliment the Ford
badging on your truck. We have
provided measurements, which will
allow you to place these logos in a
position that gives a clean factory
look. See Figure
