If a manual IDM is in a auto truck will it make it start out in third gear?
Well I bought the truck in that condition. But that describes the problems exactly. Do I need to go to ford to get a PCM or where can I get one?
What year is the truck? I have several PCMs laying around.
Fourth gear with no torque converter lock is what the trans will do with a manual trans PCM. That's the default if there is no input. There is no "limp mode" for the transmission.3rd gear with no TC is "limp mode" IIRC. You need to get a auto PCM if you're running an auto. You can run a auto PCM in a manual but the throttle will usually be touchy.

check trans connector on pass side, if it is disconnected it will do the same
