Curious about programmer????
I am curious, I have a 95 psd and would like to add a programmer.
What is availiable, Griffin and the phenoix? Pros and cons/diffrences for each? Are they programmers that need mounted and so they come with a pod? what is the cost? |

Adding a programmer (Gryphon): Pros: 1. Easy installation. Plug in, follow the prompts, and play. 2. Forget it's there. No external parts/pieces to think about. Cons: 1. Not "switch on the fly". Requires the engine to be shut off and 5 or so minutes to change "tunes". 2. If you feel that you need more than three different "tunes", then you're stuck with just three. Adding a "chip" (Phoenix Module): Pros: 1. Availability of up to six different programs. 2. Switch on the fly capability to instantly change your truck's personality. Cons: 1. Requires a bit of mechanical competence to install. 2. Mounting of a control switch. Bill said this in another thread and I agree: Quote:
In either case, a reliable and accurate EGT gauge is almost a necessity to prevent engine damage. You really can't go wrong either way. |
Thanks
Does the Phoenix require a pod? I like the idea of whisper mode, I will have to look at the costs again.
Thanks for the info. |
Yes, the Phoenix Module will require a gauge pod with at least a pyrometer. Keep in mind that the Gryphon programmer will also need a pyrometer probe installed in the exhaust manifold to display EGT.
As far as the Whisper Mode program goes, since you have an early single-shot truck, the whisper mode will work really well. |
