FICM tuning???

ricearoni1024 · #1 Wed, October 20th, 2010, 07:59 PM

Hi I am new to this forum I have done a lot of reading on the ficm tuning and am very interested first question I have is where do you find your ficm strategy? Also saw some posts that said you should get the ecm done too if your doing your ficm?

what does a ecm tune offer? And is that neccessary if I am running custom sct tunes already?

Also can the cold start programming be done with the remote programming? because I live in colorado and it can get pretty cold.

Thanks for the help and sorry about all the questions!

First off Welcome to the PHP forum!

If you have'nt been swapping ficms around from truck to truck, your PCM code will tell us what FICM tune you have.

You do not have to get the PCM/ECM flashed back if your happy with your current program and SCT tunes. There are a few advantages to going back but most of them are for the 03 and 04 trucks. However, the mileage and power is'nt so great on all the later flashes, so most people opt to go back. Its a option but not required.

The remote ficm tuning can be done to include the hybrid heat inductive flash to aide in your cold starts.

hope this helps

Yep supply them with the .hex code(both of them) that SCT provides.
