Just curious.

It has been 13 weeks now since I ordered my Gryphon and have been at the top of the list for the last couple weeks.

I can't seem to get a hold of Corey through PM (gave up on Email like four weeks ago when I figured out PM was more efficient) and this isn't a big enough deal for me to waste their time by calling. Hopefully she'll see it here.

So anybody been getting tunes or am I the only one not?

I am in about the same week as you. I think a few before from your 13 week calculation. I havn't gotten mine yet either but i had seen a post about a week ago that a guy had ordered his the week before me and he had just got his.

That was about 10 days ago.

But we have to remember that when we purchased ours it was in the middle of a huge sale.

I bought mine before the sale... yea I got hosed on that too... LOL

I ordered my Gryphon on February 3rd.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with the product so far and service has been fine, but when I have a friend order tunes from another company and get them the next day I start to feel a little... :sigh:

He got them next day???? Makes me wonder how much time and development went into them......:confused:

Just throwing it out there.... I once saw a guy selling SCT's on ebay. SO i clicked on his link to see what else he had and he was selling custom tunes for $.99... Yeah!!! 99 cents!!!! Anyone can write them but it takes years of knowledge and experiance to write great ones.

I ordered mine on the 13th of febuary.

I went back and looked. THe guy had ordered them on jan 31 and he got them three weeks ago. So it cant be to much longer.

It was from one of the reputable tuners, but it doesn't matter so there is no need to post who here. The normal wait he said was like four or six weeks, but for a small fee he expedited his and had them the next day. I would have gladly done that, still would for that matter.

Hmm... we'll I ordered four days later it's been another three weeks... odd... no?

One of the things we know about PHP, is - they don't play favorites and, you cannot "buy" faster service. You simply go into a queue when you order your tune (and send the hex code) and then, you get it when it's your turn.

I know of only one time they violated this approach. Bill moved a guy up in the queue because he was about to be deployed to Iraq. Seems a nice thing for them to have done (in my opinion).

One of our Moderators here, Lars, is still waiting on his tunes too! He's been waiting a long time.

Ha! Not true. If you buy a used Edge and send it in to be upgraded to a Gryphon and order custom tunes for it you can get your Gryphon back tuned in a week or two. I was told that from the Boss herself, so there is a way to buy faster service from PHP, just wish I knew about it before I ordered a new one.

Anyway, still not complaining, just looking for some answers since I was told they would be ready last week and haven't heard anything since...

You are "partially right". Yes, you do get the custom tunes faster this way, but you are without the programmer and operating your vehicle at stock the entire time your unit is with PHP. And, you ARE in a queue here too. It just happens to be a different queue than the one where you have your unit, and are able to use its canned tunes.

Bill and Corey found they had fewer difficulties if they loaded the custom tunes into your converted unit before returning it than if they returned the unit immediately and then posted the tunes later. Corey also said they would "revisit" this discrepancy in the wait time if it started to look like it was becoming an issue with people.

And, one thing that would cause them to stop returning the "converted" units with tunes installed would be for them to see people flooding them with Edges to be "converted", hoping to get faster service.

Now, if you are really looking for answers, please DO PM Corey. The forum is really not the place to try to put "pressure" on them.

I have had email and PM to Corey go un-answered as well.

No pressure, just a fact.

I'll wait patiently for my tunes, but communication with Corey is an ongoing issue that contributes to the experiences related in this thread.

I'm pretty sure I'm 2 weeks behind in the queue because I sent my Hex code to her in an email and a PM that went un-answered. I finally resent the PM to Bill after 2 weeks of patience, and he put me in the queue.

I'm not complaining, only relating. PHP is my choice now, and will be my choice again when I order my 6.2L Raptor.

@ the OP I would think you would be getting close, because I am right at 12 weeks and was told last week that I was about fifth in line, and was susposed to be done this past week/end, but I guess with the problems last week that didn't happen. I believe I have a pm or so floating around out in web world.hehe :)

You guys the product is worth the wait. Just be patient.
Bill just got overwhelmed to quickly and did not expect this to take off like it did.
Those next day tunes "magic bullets" with extra on the side to expidite them.
Probaly taking previously written tunes that are "close". So then how are they different than the canned tunes then?

I ordered mine on January 21st and sent in my hex code on the 26th. Still have not received mine. I tried to get in touch a couple of times over the months but finally got to talk to Bill 2 weeks ago yesterday, and he said mine would be done that Thursday. I have tried to call a couple of times with no luck. I know there busy i am trying my best to be patient. Just wish there was a better way of communication.

I know a growing business is a headache. But guys keep calling Corey says she's answering the phones. Keep emailing them Corey says she's replying to them. The one problem with the emails is that they maybe getting filtered out by their spam filter. Keep those pm's going.

Just don't give up after 2 or 3 times. This is my best advice for you guys.

Good things come to those who wait.

Good! Hopefully, some of the rest of you who have been waiting so long are not far behind.

It might be good to remember though, that every email, PM or phone call to PHP regarding the custom program wait time actually delays them even more! Even if it's nothing more than Corey asking Bill, "Where's Joe's tune in the queue?", it forces Bill to break his concentration to answer. :sadface:

It WOULD be nice if we could all save the PMs, emails and phone calls for actual PROBLEMS, that can't be resolved here on the forum! Lars and I are trying to learn as much as we can so we can help everyone, and others have come in with great advice too. So, give us all a chance, don't contact PHP unless we can't help. Don't bug them about "When do I get my tune?". And, I know this is asking a lot, but could we try?

But by that same token, "we" have paid out a sizable amount of our hard earned money for a service with no expected delivery date. So at what point do we need to be kept in the loop and at what point can we ask for updates? One month? Two? Three?

If I had paid this kind of money to Amazon or somebody on eBay and after three months of not receiving the product or an update I'd be pretty pissed. I know for me two months was my limit, I didn't bother them until we were eight weeks in and I hadn't heard anything. But I'm sure others are pestering from day one.

Thankfully Bill and Corey have a VERY good reputation for quality service and products so waiting for three months isn't a huge deal. But it would be easier to handle if there was an update given at some point.

Am I totally off base with this or does it makes sense?

No, you're not off base at all, and, I honestly sympathize with the points you are making and with your situation. I also have some idea of the distractions Bill has to deal with on a daily basis that take time away from his real work. I was simply asking that we keep that in mind too.

The real difficulty here is that we are paying for Bill's expertise, not someone else's. And, Bill cannot "train" somebody else in a way that insures that this somebody has all the experience Bill has accumulated over the years. So, having Bill "farm out" some of the tuning tasks to someone else is pretty much out of the picture. I know Bill won't even let Corey do some of the more "routine" tasks, such as uploading the tune files to the server, because he wants to insure there are no errors that could damage someone's truck.

Maybe Corey could think up something that would keep everyone better informed where they stand. I know she tried to do this once, but it didn't seem to work out. Just doing this though, is a drain on their resources.

I'm having a few thoughts though, that I'll discuss with her. Maybe we can do a better job of keeping everyone informed AND letting Bill work on tunes and problems!

I understand all the points made in this thread. I know that I am one of the guys that purchased my Gryphon around tax return time, when PHP had their big SALE!! (Thanks PHP!) But I was also originally quoted 4-8 weeks for my tunes. So I said hey that's awesome and left it alone, until about the 8th week, then I simply asked for an update on my tunes to be sure that they had my HEX, and that I was at least in line for my tunes. Corey assured me that I was, and that was the end of my worries. I hadn't bugged Corey in a while about my tunes (she actually forgot my name!! :) ) :2thumbs:...which told me that I was not pestering her like I felt I was, but it is going on three months now so I contacted her recently, and I am only about a week away by her calculations. I have tried to be really patient, and I know it will be worth the wait. It's not necessarily that everyone is bothering them from day one, it is just a lot of curious people that ordered around the same time (late Jan early Feb) who are beginning to wonder what happened to their custom tunes??? Thankfully, Bill and Corey haven't given up on us, and are doing their best to answer all the concerns and questions as best they can. We are all going to get through this!!! :hehe:

01-30-2009 Re: hex code sent.

I just looked at the calibration code you posted in your User CP and it looks "odd" to me. I'm used to seeing more characters: for instance, mine is: RXCM5E4.HEX (and I think the proper format always has 7 characters in front of the decimal point) but yours only has four characters, followed by a decimal and the letters "HE" Is it possible you didn't get it all and are missing the 1st three characters?

I'd hate to see your custom tunes delayed over this, so could you do yourself a favor and go to Diagnostics->Version Info on your installed Gryphon and verify what you put down for Calibration Code is indeed correct?

Maybe I'm being a worry-wart, but if there's a problem, we'd both like it fixed.

My HEX code was sent in on Dec 9. Appartently there may be some kind of paper mix up? I was planning on keeping this truck only a couple of years so this is a significant amount of time already gone. I have tried to PM Corey and Bill a couple of times with not much success. I hope everything is alright with them! I am trying to wait patiently but that is getting hard to do now the nice weather is here.

Cool, it looks fine now. I suspect that edit window has a limit on the number of characters it accepts and does not want you to add ".HEX", since that part never changes.

I was only concerned about it here because Bill and Corey have been having some really bad problems with their email and phones. Some of my messages have not gone through.

I was simply trying to cover all bases and help remove any possible obstacles to your getting your tunes.

By no means is this meant as a bash or be disrespectful to anyone or anything but from a customer service stand point why hold live tuning events which takes time away from people who have already been waiting weeks for their tunes, so others who just live closer to the event can stop by and get their tunes done on the spot. Im not trying to be rude or anything but when I ordered mine it march i was told there was a 4-6 week turn around time which was fine cause there was still snow on the ground here. but prolly like many on here i ordered mine around parts/mods that I would be putting on my truck which I dont wanna put on till the tuner comes in and are still waiting here to be put on. I know when I receive it everything is going to be great but this wait is killing me and it just seems like from what I read on here there is a lot that delays production. Im just venting.

Yeah I ordered Feb 20th. You've unfortunatelly got a long way to go. I ordered mine around Tax return time when EVERYONE was ordering them, so that is what has been taking a while for Bill and Corey to get all of the (assuming hundreds) of orders from those couple weeks there in early February. Once all of those orders are taken care of, I am sure it won't take Bill long to get the wait back to the 4-6 week average.

I e-mailed you about two weeks ago to let you know they were done! Gotta be a security wall thing. :cursin:

I imagine there HAS to be a lot of missed communication due to spam blockers! I should have been thinking of that possibility when I read about people not hearing from you. In my case, the blocker puts spam into a separate directory and I tend to check the senders and message titles there daily. I'm not certain that everyone has this ability though.

I'm sure you know this, but others might not. One of the heuristics a spam blocker uses is multiple addresses on an email (a "mass" emailing). I suspect individual blockers use a different number of addresses to trigger the spam response, so while say five addresses may be too much for some, it may take 10 addresses in another.

Additionally, in my case anything over 10 days old in my junk folder automatically gets deleted, which is why I check it daily.

I DO know that some filters send a "reject" message back to the sender. Others, and I think mine is one of these, do not.

I wonder if those that don't send a "bounce", use a "junk" folder and if those that do send a bounce don't?

And, I just removed a question about my email to you because I just got your reply!

I believe I have my 64 bit vista working with the server, it connected and found my targeted files(which were just canned tunes), but I too just received the e-mail letting me know my tunes are done, so I will see if it really works with 64 bit today or not. You should be able to just do what Bill said to do with Vista to get it to work, unless there is more to why it doesn't work with 64. I'm not sure

I have two new computers at home and both use Vista how can I tell if it's 64 bit?

I am not currently in front of a vista machine since I'm at school, but I want to say if you go to start > control panel > system it should tell you about your operating system there.

I just downloaded a new update to Pegasus. Now, if you click on Help->Registration, and fill in and save the details, I think you are going to be able to see the status of your tune request!

To do so, click on Updates->Current Update Status.

I'd like someone waiting on tunes to try this and tell me what you see. It tells me there's nothing available of course, since I downloaded my tunes quite a while ago. One or two of you responding will be fine. If it doesn't find information for you, copy and paste what it says. (We're helping Bill "beta" test the application here).

It's not that slick yet...

Basically, once the serial number has been documented in the registration, you can tell if the update is available. It does not tell you where you are in line. Of course, the Current Update Status will tell you what the current Invoice Number is and you can kind of estimate from there. It's not perfect, but it does keep you up to date as to whether there is any progress.

Also, the latest version of the Pegasus Installer is now on the PHP website so if you are having issues with the older FTP version, definitely run the new installer. Otherwise, you should be able to let Pegasus self update.

Keep in mind this is only a BETA version. Hopefully I have all the buggies worked out, but it is software and should be treated as such. :eek:

We'll set up a new thread in the Pegasus section for feedback, comments, and issues.

Thanks.

Jason,


Not all invoice numbers are populated in the "to do" pile. There are huge gaps where dealers, chip purchases, and other orders may be missing. Also, not every invoice gets custom files and not everyone has provided HEX codes. Even they you may be 47 back by invoice number, you may only be 17 back... as is the case with your order.

Normally I can get 5-8 orders completed a day. However, with Corey's surgery tomorrow (today!), I am going to be away from the computer quite a bit over the next couple days. I'd expect at this point your tunes will be done either this weekend or the first of the week.

Hope this helps.

I was just wondering if you guys have everything for my order. I originally ordered my tune on March 3rd but then you later asked me for my hex code so that you could finish it up. I tried to PM you and corey but I didn't get a response. I know you guys are swamped but just wanted to know if you had everything you needed.

thanks a ton,

Thanks, jjntj2003 - this, and Bill's response above, tells me how the system is working. You're right, with an invoice number that close to the "current" one, you are practically next up. Once Bill completes your tunes, it should "find" your serial number. But - now I'm a bit confused. is 1623 your invoice number or your serial number? I would not expect them to be the same.

Jon - make sure you update Pegasus and then go to Help->Registration and fill in all the details! That way you'll know Bill has the information he needs! The HEX code he needs is called "Calibration" in the registration dialog.

To everyone: Bill has started a new thread that deals specifically with Pegasus. It's here: http://dygytalworld.ehost-services139.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1173 Please stop using this one for Pegasus posts and use the new one.

Well well! I just checked my invoice (I save everything) and guess what? The invoice number IS the serial number. POO! This means that if Bill is currently working on 1620, he could still be 100 away from 1623. That's unfortunate. I was hoping the current working invoice number would be more "informative".

However, I just had a thought. Maybe the Gryphon serial numbers are in sequence, beginning with the first ones ordered, (mine was 1047), and are "assigned" as the units are shipped. In this case, invoice number IS meaningful.

Will the "last updated on" change as Bill works on them or only when he himself updates the current number? So when I check and it still says:
"Current working invoice #1620
Last updated 05/26/2009"
Does this mean he has not done any since (due to caring for his poor wife's post-surgical needs) or he is simply keeping us on the edge of our seats until he tells us where he is actually at?:confused:

1. They should be if that's what you put on the order.

2. Load tunes and take it for a test run along with a gps.

My tire size was set at 2465(7 percent) changed it to 2484(6.3 percent). So you may have to play with squish factor numbers a little bit.

I would go 4.56. More common and more available than 4.30. Second choice would be 4.10 for the same reason.

Well if it was me and I was choosing between 4.10 and 4.56 I would probably do 4.10 especially if you do a lot of interstate driving, since you only have 33's. The 4.56 would give you more low end but on the top end around 70 (interstate speed) you would have higher rpms which results in more gas usage over 4.10's but thats just my two cents.

Who makes a reverse-cut 4.30 gear for our trucks?! I have 35s and that's the ratio I want but can't find the 4.30s for the front...been debating between the 4.10s and 4.56 for a while now because of the lack of 4.30 for the front...tell me MOAR!!1!!one!!1exclamation point!!:cheesy smile:

Who makes a reverse-cut 4.30 gear for our trucks?! I have 35s and that's the ratio I want but can't find the 4.30s for the front...been debating between the 4.10s and 4.56 for a while now because of the lack of 4.30 for the front...tell me MOAR!!1!!one!!1exclamation point!!:cheesy smile:

well my truck isn't 4x4....i have a 2001 f150 king ranch with 38inch Mud Graps for that!!
the 4.6 STX is my everyday truck since the 01 gets like 8mpg lol i have 4.56 in my 01 truck with the 38'z and it feels strong i know it is prob a lil undergeared but it feels good. I feel it is faster then when my new 2006 truck was stock. I do drive on the highway so i think the 4.56 is a little too much gear if i can find 4.30'z 4.33'z i will have them installed if not i will prob shoot down to the 4.10

Yea, I'm in the same boat. Can't find any reverse cut 4.30's. I am going with 4.56's. Most of the people I listen to say if your changing gears, make it worth your while. Currently running 3.55 open diff on my 4x4, going to 4.56's with Detroit truetrac rear diff. I'm sure it's going to feel like a whole new truck. Recently added 315-75-16's from my stock 265-70-17's. Looking forward to new gears and my gryphon to be ready. Just have to keep my right foot under control while the gears break in. :woot:

Keep me up to date on that setup, I'm thinking about the exact same gears and Tru Track...I have 3.55 gears and do a lot of towing on the highway and can't decide between the 4.10s and the 4.56s...I don't like running with the OD off all the time, but don't want to destroy my gas mileage either...decisions, decisions...

Will keep you updated. I don't tow, but have some a few hills to contend with. I checked a few gear ratio / rpm calculators online, and found the 4.56's shouldn't make the engine scream like I thought it would. Try 4lo.com for their calculator, enter your info, and see what you think. I was starting to get paranoid about ordering the 4.56, but feel better about it now. Still need to order master install kits, but will post when they are installed. Hopefully in the next week or two. Later, jumpn

I've sent Bill a message on this as well, but figured I'd post here as well. Looking at the Update status in Pegasus, it looks like serial number 1642 is the current unit Bill is working on. My serial number is 1612 and I don't have any custom files available. Hopefully, this is just a mix-up.

OK, got my custom tunes today!!!!! Loaded my 89 performance tune. Really like the feel so far. Still have 3.55 gears, going to 4.56's soon. Can't wait to feel this thing with the new gears! Thank you!!:woot:

4.56 on 35's will be like stock tires with a 4.10 gear. It should have plenty 'o pull. :)

Just keep in mind that RPM's will be a bit high and fuel economy might suffer a tad. Honestly, to keep things more in line with what you currently have you may want to look at a 4.10 gear instead. The calculator indicated that a 3.92 gear is what you would use to match your stock tires and 3.55 gears.

Just some things to think about. Have a good weekend.

I know the 4.56 might be a little more gear than I really need, but I don't have this thing for mileage!:giggle: If somebody out there would make reverse cut 4.30's for our 4 wheel drives, I would have gone with that. I may have succumbed to a little peer pressure on the gear choice, but now I won't feel like a poser with a bigger truck with no power! :)

+1,000,000! Although, a 4.10 final isn't a whole lot more than a 3.73...and you never want to be stuck wondering "what if?"...that's why I'm also leaning towards the 4.56s. The nice thing about 4.10s is that if you decide that 33s may be in your future, you don't need to change gears again...*sigh* This is one of the hardest decisions to make...on the Mustang it was easy. If I went with 4.10s, I run out of 4th gear by 1/4 mile so 3.73s was the easy choice. Not so easy on the Monster Truck.

One thing to keep in mind is that the throttle controls are load based and the more gear you use, the less load the engine sees and the less power it will try to make. We had a customer running 4.88's in his truck and the poor thing wouldn't get out of its own way. Now if he was running 38's, everything would have evened out and would have been fine but he was running pretty short tires (33's I think) and it simply killed his performance.

4.30's would actually be a good call, if you could get a set to fit the front. Gears are always a tough decision because they are QUITE expensive to do on a 4x4 and not something you want to change more than once.

Good luck in the decision making process. :)

No doubt it's expensive! I was "friend price" quoted $1600-1700 for parts and labor...

I submitted my order via PM to Corey on January 8, 2009 and sent a couple clarification messages up to 1/10/09. Never got an answer to my 'estimated wait time' question, and haven't heard back since 1/8/09 even in response to my followup in May.

I read somewhere a while ago about a list that we can check to see progress on our order, but I haven't been able to find that list nor where I read about it.

My UserCP shows that Corey was a 'recent visitor' but there's no date to know when that was.

Corey or Bill can you provide any insight/update?

Thanks guys. :)

[Edit: My UserCP is missing model and serial # info, maybe this is the problem. I will report these tonight when I can check the unit.]

[Edit #2: Also worth noting; I have added EFans since submitting my information to Corey. Lincoln Mark VIII with DCControls FK-50P.]

Your serial number is how Bill "tags" your tunes so that only YOU can upload them to your Gryphon.

To see where things stand, download and install the latest version of Pegasus. It is V2.01.0575. Anything earlier is no good now.

Using the diagnostic menu in your Gryphon, locate and write down the Serial Number, the Model Number, the Device Type and double check that you have the HEX or "Calibration" code correct.

Then, add the serial number and model number to your UserCP here in the forums.

In addition, in Pegasus, click on Help->Registration and fill in all the details, then click on "Save".

Now, in Pegasus, you can click on Updates->Current Update Status to see what invoice# (Serial Number) Bill is working on and you can tell if you are close, have been passed up because of incomplete information or even if your tunes are ready (which could be the case).

If you were passed up, try to connect with Corey to insure they have the information they need.

Hey Chris,

I'll have Billy check on your tunes. I did temporarily turn off my PMs because during most of May, I was sick or recovering from my surgery and wasn't even at my desk. I have 97 PMs in my box, but I don't know which ones Bill has already taken care of, so instead of accepting more and having to sort through 150 :yikes2: of them to figure out what still needs to be taken care of, I turned them off. Please know that I still have e-mails enabled, and people are definitely using this feature just about every day. :2thumbs:

Emailed you with an order form containing all my information and request. Let me know if there's anything else you need.

Thanks for the prompt response Corey :thumbs up yellow:

Thanks for your helpful input Tohi but without knowing what's going on, it's probably best to keep to yourself.

I'm simply requesting *any response at all* from Corey, I need to make sure they have all necessary information. Last time I submitted my order there was apparently a problem, but I never received any notification and 6 months later I'm still waiting on my tunes.

I understand that PHP is busy, but the lack of response is a little irksome.
