97 F350 ford 7.3 diesel problems

My computer is acting real strange again and I cannot read the computer or remove my program presently. Previously I had to remove the ICM and plug it into my other identical truck and was able to remove the program then later reinstalled it while on my original truck. I am looking for suggestions as to what to do with the ICM and the crazy things it does like really hard shifting at times. Also the throttle goes dead and the check engine lite comes on then I just let off the pedal then push down and all is fine again.

In my experience, those programmers create some unforeseen issues. The first step in diag is to put it stock and see what happens. There is also a limit to how many times the memory can be flashed, which is what happens everytime the program is changed.

Unhook both batteries + and - and let it sit for 1 min then touch the + and - together to short any remaining power in the system and let it sit for 10 min or so. Hook the batteries back up and the computer should reset itself. I may take a couple of start up and run (10 min)and shut downs for the computer to relearn the system and reset itself. Bandit

Does the tachometer work properly? The rpm sensor is a big deal with earlier model ford diesels.
