FICM Relocation

wouldn't it overheat?
i thought the fuel that goes through it cools the ficm and keeps it from getting too hot
I'm gonna wrap anything just in case. I wouldn't think it will get any hotter then where it was at before
3 reasons:
1- I just wanted to & had to reseal the injectors
2- Just making some future room
3- I was bored & because I could :joker: :rofl:

I know, Im going though the same stuff
And I want the ficm in the cab How about you cool it with washer fluid, a small fish tank pump and your in da business

Did you cut and solder new wires or did they stretch far enough? I have a spare harness at the shop......things that get the wheels turning

you could cool it with water and methanol, i bet that would keep it cool
I'm missing something here. Cool what? Cool the fuel? All I did was move it, it will have the same under the hood temps like before. I'm lost

Unless the lly's are different, the lb7's have fuel running through the ficm to cool them since they run on such high voltage
You mean because the fuel lines are looped together? That's not done yet, I'm hooking those back up
Fuel flows through the FICM to keep it cool......That is one off the issues of running a lift pump over 14psi, it blows out the seals in the FICM.

I get it, yes thats why me and Simon keep asking about the cooling.
There has been discussion since the fuel runs thorugh the ficm and the fuel temp can get pretty high that the ficm might process faster and run smoother if it was cooled by something other than fuel
What seals? The banjo bolt seals?
I know im not going to use fuel to cool it
I say don't run fuel through it, if you don't have to.
Find something else to cool it with.
Anyone have an idea what temp the fuel is when going through the FICM? Let's say it's a pretty hot day, your running at about a 1/4 of a tank, and your hauling a pretty heavy load.
Just something to think about.
