cool, great to hear. I definately wanting to hear your opinion on it Im in the process of trying to decide which programmer to get.

What all do you have done to your truck and did you order the Gryphon with a custom tune or jst it with the regular tunes on it, what did it cost ya?

505-richman · #4 02-27-2010, 01:39 AM

i am stock right now. canned tunes, and i bought it off a member from here. so 325 shipped... good deal for me

505-richman · #5 02-27-2010, 09:12 PM

just installed, running level 2 and i definately can notice a difference. i only took it around the block cuz time is short. more later... very happy with it

You'll enjoy it!

Great to hear! As soon as the Gryphon staff get through their personal loss I plan to place my order. Cant wait!

Congrats! Now go install it, burn out the rest of your fuel to an 1/8th of a tank, fill the remainer with 93 octane, set it to level 3, and change the timing to 1.5, and enjoy!

so whats the best way to change my tune myself? Like on the Level 1 or two for good MPG and still performance. When it says would you like to custom your tune or something like that i am running them on the just plan canned tunes and selecting no when it asks

Not quite sure, all I found level 1 / trans mode to do was to make the shifting harder and annoying. You could try softening it and you may be able to achieve the 150rpm lower shifts on an easy take off, vs not being able to shift under 2000rpm when babying the pedal.

well i was out in town, truck started shaking bout 50mph while accelerating and CEL came on, i just got my spark plugs changed last week. read the code and a p0354 came up. so before i go crazy driving all over and wasting gas imma get this checked out...

Mornin to ya!

Rise & shine - you gots some ***-chewin' to do! That's a Cylinder # 4 coil/plug issue - and you need to take it back to the place that did yer plugs & tell 'em to fix it.

This ain't a coinkydink, and it's not the tuner doing it...

Good luck!

good mornin to all,
well i know it wasnt the gryphon luckily. and believe as soon as monday comes im goin down there. but before the plug change it had happened on four... this is turning into a spark plug thread haha oops!

505-richman · #15 03-04-2010, 08:18 PM

well all is good now! im very impressed with the level 2 canned tune thus far. i havent driven enough to need to fill up ive been sitting good at bout 15 mph.

i didnt realize that if you sit and idle for a few minutes your mpg drops so much...
