This post outlines the steps needed to upload custom tunes from PHP to a Gryphon and how to install a Gryphon/Evolution in a 2004-2008 F150. It is a continuation of the thread by tarajerame on how to load SCT tunes (
so you just recieved a programmer and want to know how to load an email to tune it) and is meant to answer questions like "How hard is it to install a Gryphon?", or "How do I load my new PHP tunes?".
First, you'll want to download Pegasus from PHP's website. They've documented pretty well how to download and install it, so I won't repeat those instructions here. However, I've provided a link to the page on PHP's website where you can find the installer for Pegasus.

After you've downloaded and installed Pegasus, open it and plug the Gryphon into your computer using the supplied USB cable. (You can use any mini USB plug if you don't have the specific one that comes with an Evolution/Gryphon.) You should see the word "Connected" in the second box of the status bar on the bottom of the Pegasus screen. You will also see the serial number of your Gryphon in the last box of the status bar. WARNING: If you have already installed your Gryphon in your truck and have programmed your PCM with a "canned" tune, you MUST return your vehicle to the "stock" tune, (Level 0) before you remove the Gryphon to upload custom tunes. Failure to heed this warning may render your Gryphon inoperable.
In Pegasus, click Updates, then Targeted Functions. DO NOT choose Gryphon Update Manager here, that choice is for updating firmware, not for uploading custom tunes.
Pegasus will go through a series of updates, giving you a status of each step along the way.
After all updates have been applied, Pegasus will display the following screen:
You can now unplug the Gryphon and close Pegasus.
