From the shop
The GEM — Generic Electronic Module — on the '97–'98 F-150 and F-250 handles the 4x4 manual shift logic along with lighting and body electrical functions, and when it fails you'll often see 4x4 shift issues alongside other electrical gremlins that don't seem connected at first. This one is OEM tested, functional, and cleaned. Part number F85B-14B205-PA, with interchange numbers F85Z-14B205-PA, EL3Z-14B205-GRM, and F75B-14B205-PB. It mounts up front and requires programming or configuration to your specific vehicle after install. Message me if you need help sorting the interchange numbers before you order. — Hubes
