SWAMPS FICM ???

[BILLHILLY]

I am going to order one tomorrow, just wanted some advice on what to get 48v or 58v. Has anyone been running one for good amount of time ? Any problems? I want to get the 58v, but dont know if there is a reliability issue....
Any feedback would be appreciated.

I was looking into getting one tooo....and undecided as to 48v or 58v...what programing are you going to get??? mild or extreem flash???

When I got my 48v back in May, Johnathan told me if I was gonna tow heavy not to get the 58v, due to the excessive heat the 58v can make with a load on. My truck weighs #8240 with me in it, and my 5th wheel weighs about #7000. He recommended for me to get the 48v.

Excessive heat where?

The extra volts cause extra heat in the ficm when the truck is working harder from towing heavy.

I tow a 8800# boat all summer, and a dump trailer now and then, so i guess the 48v, if overheating is a problem...
When i called them yesterday they never said anything about problems towing(one would asume we all tow something heavy, 1ton truck with diesel....).They told me i would get 40 more hp out of 58v

Was not planning on getting it programmed.....Is it worth the 200.00?

I think so. I would probably go with PHP's programming which Swamps can do in their shop. I hear it is real nice.

no one has ran this ficm? I was really hoping for some more feedback. Just don't want to buy the wrong one.....Sent mine in this morning...

Ive got the 58v swamps ficm with innovatives moderate tune on it and I ran it for a little while with just my sct and i did notice a power gain and it was deff quicker off the line but most of all i picked up 2 miles to the gallon off it. I did notice it starts easier to , my truck used to load up bad first thing in the mornning. I also talked to PHP cause i was going to have them tune it and I told them i was doing it for HP gain and they actualy recomended i get innovative to tune it, so thats who i went with.
