FICM progamming suggestions
Hey all,
It appears that my FICM may be on the way out so I am looking at having it repaired and programmed at the same time. Right now I am looking for some guidance on what FICM program to choose. So here is a little background on the truck Its is a 2003 f350 CC 4x4 LB that is used primarily for daily driving and for going on vacations. I tow with it occasionally but nothing north of 7500lbs. Right now the truck is nearly stock, the only major mod is an EGR delete. It still has the stock headbolts, hence my looking for guidance since I really don't want to have to do studs right now. I have an Edge Insight CS with EGT and fuel pressure sensor to keep an eye on everything. I recently changed out the oil cooler, did the EGR delete and swapped over to ELC coolant. In my research I also found that the current ECM calibration is not the most desirable, its VXAP2N2 and the TCM is TQAUON5, so I am also looking at doing an ECM rollback for the EGR delete. I was wondering if it would be worth it to also have the ECM tuned as well. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated Thanks |

yes and yes. The 03's ran like SOB's when they still had their factory programing. They got pretty good mpg aswell. I think you'd be very happy with a roll back and a FICM tune, or at least putting an economy FICM tune in the truck, vs the atlas 40 or A80.

Jeremy,
I have a quick question. I noticed on the FICM tuning webpage that it says if you have a PHP Gryphon 6.0 programmer that you can tune the FICM and and the ECM. If I got a PHP Gryphon CS would I be able to tune the FICM and roll the ECM back? I would imagine that I would have to pay for the tunes but I would be interested in that since it would give me more flexibility for the future. Thanks |

I noticed in another thread that it was asked if a FICM programmer can be used for ECM rollbacks. It appeared to me that answer was yes.
So I could buy a FICM programmer with the 4 FICM tunes and also roll back my ECM with it. If that is the case then I would be highly, meaning I'll probably order one now, interested in getting one. That will also give me more flexibility with future mods. |

Yes that is correct. The Mono Chrome Gryphons when converted to FICM programmers can be used for rollback aswell.
The CS and CTS cant do either.... |
