Hey also on this x4 I see on some tunes it has an option to turn off EGR is this used to get rid of the CEL. Or does it turn the valve off?

turns off the CEL. You want the EGR to work, it controls the fan speed, not just the valve opening and closing.

Not sure they change that if you tell them you have the Atlas40.


Still waiting on a revision from Gearhead but I think I might try PHP. I suspect they know how to make a PCM tune play well with their FICM tuning.
That they do....

Given my rationale above is exactly why PHP rolls people with a 2005-2007 Super Duty back to VXCF4H2; it runs great and plays well with the Atlas 40.

What version of VXCF4 are you running?
