i have read that the phoenix doesnt have the ability to clear codes. So if my truck is constantly getting P01041 and P01042s (egr insufficient and excessive) then can it fix this? or would i have to get a gryphon

You have read right.

The Phoenix is not capable of clearing codes. Since you are getting EGR codes, I assume you're not driving around a 7.3L.

What kind of vehicle is it?

a 97 4.6 f150 (4x4)

so he couldnt like, program it in to override that problem?

because i just read that the gryphon is no longer available..
does that include the $439 gryphon CS?

Bill says that if you can possibly get him the PCM code (which is on the PCM connector on the passenger side behind the battery in the firewall), he will see if he can or not. He's pretty certain he can though. It will be three letters and a number.

YSL2

my mods are:
k&n drop in air filter
gotts mod (pvc)
spacers on rear O2 sensors (The Gotts O2 mod with pics - F150online Forums (http://www.f150online.com/forums/exhaust-intake-systems/346911-gotts-o2-mod-pics.html))

315/70/17 tires (with 3.55 gears)
glasspack for muffler
am planning on removing rear cats and putting in pipe in their place
body lift
3" torsion lift
2" rear shackles


if he can work it where my CEL wont go off and i wont have O2 problems i would just dump it with glasspacks after the first set of cats

you can't run glasspack mufflers after a cat as the cat makes the exhaust too hot and will destory the fiberglass in the glasspack muffler, you would need to make test pipes and bypass the Cats or you will be replacing glasspacs quite often.

would mufflers without fiberglass be alright?
