[macoyle]

[SIX_OHH]

[Goose]

Wat you get?

 

[Goose]

A properly working FICM and a php tune on it.

 

[SIX_OHH]

Properly working as in 48v? Do you have a tune loaded with it?

 

[Goose]

Yes, 48v. No tune right now.

 

[SIX_OHH]

Yes, 48v. No tune right now.

Thats what i got. cant notice it over a tune though- id like to see what you say when you load one

i didn't notice much MPG difference but when my truck is turned back to stock, i notice the FICM upgrade big time. The throttle reponse is just awesome.

 

[Goose]

The throttle reponse is just awesome.

This. A lot less lag. I only drove the truck 2 miles today. Im pretty sick. Hopefully tomorrow I will get some good seat time.

I think I am going to order my FICM tune from PHP today. I hopefully will get it when it is still cold so I can test out if I need the inductive heating strat or the non inductive heating. If I were to guess I am going to need the inductive heating. Is there a downside to having the non inductive heating or will it just be hard on the truck on cold starts? Is that the only downside?

 

[strokin6L]

not sure. I have ID's which doesn't have any inductive heating and it starts right up in the cold.

 

[3brorce]

That is the thing. I really want the ID one but I dont want to spend 50 bucks more for the same thing so that is why I was thinking php.

 

[SIX_OHH]

Eh the 50 is worth it i think. No cold .start issues here

 

[Goose]

I didn't get the inductive heat flash. Cold starts could be better but it's no big deal. Truck runs a lot better.

 

[3brorce]

Your cold starts cant be that cold though being from Alabama? You got a php tune?

 

[Goose]

Your cold starts cant be that cold though being from Alabama? You got a php tune?

Yes, PHP tune. Like I said, its not bad. We will see how it does when it gets colder.

 

[3brorce]

Yes, PHP tune. Like I said, its not bad. We will see how it does when it gets colder.

Notice of any fuel mileage increase yet? You said you did notice less turbo lag too.

 

[bboteler]

im only a couple hours from ID i think i may have to make a road trip...get the ficm tuned and maybe some live tuning time...i gotta get outta the 13mpg's...

No. I don't keep track of my fuel mileage.
