I am doing REAL GOOD if I can 350 miles out of my 29 gallon tank.
Question, does the FICM have the same "strategy" as the PCM, or are they different?
If I say, buy a spare/used FICM, will it make a difference over the original one I have?

"make a difference" is kinda difficult to answer. cuz to what i know, it is just a part that is programmed w/ a fuel program and it runs the way it is intended to. you just can't take a ficm and 'put it in' and expect to do better. if that is your intention bama, i would just suggest getting yours reprogrammed to work better w/ your sct......which is something i have on my wish list - perhaps the combo package....
does that explanation make sense?
p.s. w/ everything i know you have and have done to your truck, you are still gettting only 350/tank...? as i have told you before, something is amiss. cuz as you know about mine, i am doing 420-450 depending on trailer towing/highway driving.....something is goofy w/ your ride..

when you went with the Harley wheels, what size tire did you go with? if they ended up being a taller tire, did you get your speedo recalibrated?
anyway, got my custom tunes
sweet) from ID this past week and did ask them about the tuning for FICM. didn`t get into it alot of detail about other then pricing(200.00 for the tuning). i am going to contact them again to get the full details, so when i learn more i will share the info. probaly will get it done next spring or after the truck is out of warranty completely....just got to say, very nice people to talk too, so if you can`t wait for me, give them a call.....

Alex, the tires are the same size as the originals.
Red, the reason I was asking about a spare FICM, was so if I sent it off to be re-programmed, my truck wouldn't be down waiting on the current to get back to me.

No, its not broke down, but I don't want it to just sit for days or weeks if thats how long it takes to get your FICM back.
