first off, how did everyone mount their pods? the 3m tape was nothing but pathetic. i installed mine w spray adhesive for now lol.
i ran the stock lvl1 tune 1st, then returned to stock then reloaded a custom lvl1 tune with my tire size and correct gear ratio. For tire size i entered 2470mm...i got this number by subtracting 76mm(3%) from 2546mm(285/70-17). 2470 should be my correct size right? i also changed my gear ratio to 3.73 cause it was on 3.55(i guess this is the default ratio). so far im loving this programmer...
in playing with the display PID's....what does the value represent on the MAF view. also, what does the lock symbol mean when viewing current gear. i figured this meant TC was locked, but then it also says 'tcl' in that box.
another question i have is how do i know the gryphon has kept my tire/gear values? nothing will change until i re-program right? meaning i wont have to set these values everytime the truck is started. how can i view the current values? and when i do change programs, how will this work? i know there is a 'load previous settings' screen but i have not seen it yet. finally...can i program lvl1 to lvl3 to lvl 2 and so on, or do i need to program from lvl'x' to lvl0 then to lvl'x'
now im on to updating my user info.
thankx for any help. Cody

I can't really help you with the mounting issues because I have an '08 and the pod just clips in.
If you want to get your tire size perfect, use a GPS and your truck odometer. Clear the truck and odometer then drive at least 15 miles.
(Truck odometer/GPS odometer) x tire size
There is no need to account for squish or anything like that.
PIDs: The MAF stands for Mass Air Flow, that is the amount of air going into the engine in grams per second. The COMM GEAR is the gear that the truck is in, the lock represents that the torque converter is locked.
The gryphon programs the new gear size into the PCM. But every time you are reprogramming the first thing you need to do is hit [Load Previous Settings], it will be at the bottom of the list of options in the custom menu.
You can program straight from any level to any level.
