Ordering the tune, or the whole FICM? What's wrong with your FICM? The tunes themselves are supposed to be great! I've been wanting to order a PHP gryphon with all of the tunes, but I'm a little nervous after reading all of the posts on other sites about people having issues getting in contact with PHP. They're short staffed and they keep it that way intentionally, but unfortunately it seems to mean that some customers get dropped off the face of the planet.

 

Nothing is wrong with my ficm but i was reading about the one with a warranty and upgrade to atlas 40 that improves drivability turbo lag heips milage and they said you can still run a programmer with it

 

I wouldn't replace one that isn't broke bud. Repairs are always cheaper than replacements. The Atlas 40 tune can be loaded to your FICM, supposed to help quite a bit with drivability. You can still run a programmer with it yes. I've heard of some issues on trucks with larger injectors having high EGT's running both custom tunes AND the FICM tuning, seems geared more towards stock injectored trucks.

I just cant have the down time to send mine in to have the tune installed that was the only reason i was going to replace mine

 

You don't have to, you can pay for the tuner to be sent to you. I think you just pay a deposit on it and they'll mail it to you, you load the tune up, send it back and get your money back. I know for a fact Innovative Diesel does this, and PHP might as well.

Or just order the gryphon from PHP, that way you get ALL of the FICM tunes they offer and a pod that can do a few things gauge wise for you, all for less than $400 if memory serves.

 

I had the same thing happening for over 6 weeks and everyone I took it to wanted to change everything and charge alot of $. Finally I decided to try Rev-X and within 10 miles of driving the bucking and lunging went away. A cheap fix

 

Sam, have you tested your FICM, it can cause similar symptoms too! Rev-X is an awesome product, but at the end of the day it's really just a band-aid unfortunately. However, I will continue to run it regardless. I can't help but wonder if it will work as a preventative thing too... avoid stiction issues before they even pop up.

 

Hi Hox, I have an 03 that had the exact same problem. After a ton of research and mods I figured out how to fix that problem and it is very inexpensive in most cases. Trouble is I'm a newbie on this forum and I cannot tell you yet how I fixed the problem because it might be considered advertising my product and I can't do that until I find out about being a sponsor and then placing an ad on the site somehow. I have an 03 with an edge tuner, invisible egr () and my own home brewed external oil cooler. If you want to see the oil cooler mods you can go to Oil Cooler Upgrade Power Stroke Diesel I don't make those mods for sale or anything I just did it for my own project and satisfaction but there is a ton of info there for free and even instructions on how to diy if you want. There is really no link there for my product either because I don't want to violate the rules here. Anyway stay tuned to my username (acetron) and if the site admins agree to let me talk about it I will.

 

Had same issue found problem to be a bad injector was only running on 7 cylinders replaced it now runs like new
