Has anyone had trouble w/ficm on there 6.0. Dealer say's 1050. to replace?

I have heard that some people had an FICM failure when the weather turned cold. They had wondered if it was attributed to the inductive heating flash that chatters the injectors to heat the oil in them to help with the cold/no power problem. THey feel that is has put more stress on the FICM causing the failure. I have not heard of widespread failures, but some of the guys on here and SDD have reported them, and they all had the later flash. I have the later flash and have had no problems........ knock on wood.....

Was that $1100 installed or just for the part? I hope installed, but I know they are proud of the parts for the 6.0.
