Rouge idle when cold

[Georgia Diesel]

Again, I'm not bashing, I'm not crying, I'm not pointing fingers or blaming anyone, or Bill. I'm just saying what I see from my point of view, and waiting for a strategy that works for me. In fact, despite the intial issues I had w/ my FICM, I've continued on ordering an Gryphon w/ custom tunes from PHP. I have no doubt about Bill or his work!


this is not the first thread i have seen about this matter and i dont need to take a breath i am fine trust me...You said it all in your one sentence,,,,waiting for a strategy that works for me...Every truck will react different when it comes to custom tuning...what strategy that would be great for my truck may not be for evrybody else....Like i said before I AM NOT POINTING FINGERS OR BLAMING ANYONE,,, I AM JUST SIMPILY SAYING WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID. WHEN you modify these truck everbody takes the risk as there on...so if a tuner or programmer that you install whomever may do it , breaks you vehicle its not the tuners fault...I get sick and tired of reading on the other forums that ( people say WELL MY HEADGASKETS FNALLY BLEW OR MY TRANNY FINALLY WENT GUESS I WILL GO TO THE DEALER TOMORROW) and then a few days later there back on the forum saying ( THE DEALER VOIDED MY WARRENTY OR THEY GET ALL MAD AT FORD OR CHEVROLET OR DADGE AND SAY THEY WE NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN)) I have pulled the engine out of my truck 3 times. can i blame the whoever tuned my truck for its failer.....NOPE sure cant,,,its my fault and i accept 100% of the blame and would never post on a internet site bashing the person that tuned my truck...I have ran tunes from just about every tuner there is thaat does them for sct and i can honestly say that i have never had a issue with the tuning that php supplies.....

GD,

Whats the build date on your truck? I'm just curious as to how far back you went on your tuning? I had a early 03, Jan 03 build. It ran like a SOB had pilot injection, a real good tow/haul, just flat hauled the mail.

Not for sure as the strat bill put on it as I don't have my truck with me. I think it was a tec1 strat. Bill can confirm it for me. The earlier strats for these trucks really haul *** and have some nuts to them. I personaly love it. Now I am currently talking with ryan about building my sticks for me. Probaly gonna go around 175's but no bigger than 190's. Even with the early ficm strat with zero IH it is really not that bad. I may have to let it idle for 5 minutes or so but I do that anyway even in the summer. I don't remeber the build date but I do remember is is a early 03. My truck stays at home all week as I work out of town a lot. The wife drives it more than I do. I will repost the dates and what strat I running when I get home saturday or bill can post it. He knows. Haha. Its almost fun to drive now. I will say that with this early 03 programming I get better fuel mileage and have better performance than I did before with it tuned in my daily driver file. **** it even rolls a lil coal stock.
