WTH no more gryphons for 97-03s!!!!

OMG i want to kill myself right now
ok so i sold all my performance stuff to a friend cause he wanted it all and i was going to trade my truck in.

well ive decided not to so i was going to buy a new gryphon cause thats the base of performance and i miss mine.

well what do ya know. php has stopped selling gryphons for 97-03 f150s.

im sorry but i think it is absolutely ridiculous that companies are discontinuing products for 97-03 f150s while theres still millions of them out there running the roads every day.

you dont see companies discontinuing products for older chevys and dodges so why discontinue products for the #1 selling truck?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

sorry just really upset and needed to rant!

but the real reason for this thread is does anyone know of any way to get a gryphon for my truck? i am in desperate need of one!!!

That really sucks. If you are wanting a custom tune on your truck, PHP still offers the SCT X3. Their custom tune on a Gryphon, should be the same as a custom tune on a SCT X3. You do however lose the display that the Gryphon offers.

I would check Ebay or the classifieds for Gryphons for sale. I see them pop up on this forum alone all the time.

Good luck. Who knows, maybe they will offer them again if there is enough demand?

We didn't just randomly stop selling this unit. There was a problem with the cable, and we were replacing just about as many as we were selling. I think it would have been far worse to sell you something that was broken.

Please read the Announcement from PHP (or whatever I called it) thread for updates.

I read it.
Ive had both an Edge Evolution and a Gryphon and never had problems with either an both the guys that I sold each to have never had problems with them.

ya but if im gunna get one i dont want the 5.4 and from what our fleet salesman has told my father and i is the 6.2 wont be available by the earliest october.

there was a blue one at houston sx this year an my poor gf couldnt pull me away from it. but it was ok. she was the same way the day we took delivery of her expy

idk, we really need a nice diesel to tow our toys to general sams and mud buddys but then again itd be nice to tow the brutes an teryx up to general sams. unhook the trailer and take the raptor on the trails too.
well crap that all made my decision so much easier.

really the only thing keeping me from gettin a 6.4 is the price of diesel down here (and the stupid raptors lol). today i passed a local gas station an the price for diesel was $2.159 a gal. saddest part was regular was the same price, an its usually way cheaper.

crap NONE OF THIS HELPS ME lol

The problem is with NEW OBDII cables made for these units. Edge is trying to isolate the lot numbers where the problem is occurring. If they can, then PHP will start selling that model again. If you were to find a used Edge that was a couple of years old, you probably wouldn't have any problems either.

Wow. Kill yourself, eh? Kind of harsh, bud.

I just posted a VM to you. When you get a chance (ie: soon), please shorten your signature. It's generally longer than we like to see. Thanks.
