Default Gryphon CS Experience so far

Hey all,

Just got the Gryphon CTS today and figured id tell everyone how things went up to now. First off I have a 97 f150 4.6L 4x4. Stock except for gotts mod, but saving up for underdrive pulley and eFan. FYI for all reading this has nothing to do with service or quality of PHP.

I guess the first caution i would give anyone now is make sure that the dealer reflashs the PCM back to stock if you buy a used vehicle. Apparently the previous owner already tuned mine. I bought it from a dealer about 10 years ago so it is what it is. After first hooking up the Gryphon and entering the VIN, letting the Gryphon do its thing I was all excited. But................I got the "Non stock tune error" I updated the Gryphon thru fusion tried it again, same issue.

Finally after another update and program try, i decided to call Edge. They said it looked like it was already tuned previously, had me upload every file in the world to fusion. Not really but it did take 30 min or so to get it all uploaded. I happened to be lucky enough to call at 6.00 PM Central, they close (and the engineers leave) at 4.00PM mountain.

So i leave sunday for about three weeks, and have to wait until i get back to talk to the engineers and figure out what they want to do. Not that big of a deal over all since i will be gone for a while anyway, but i was excited to try it out. So just so everyone knows, im not "complaining" or asking for help just sharing. I'd be willing to mess with it if someone has a suggestion, but just for fun. I will update in a few weeks with what ever solution resolves the issue.

PS.. I will take some help on installing the dash pod. I like to think i am mechanically inclined but it REALLY seams like there is no way this pod is meant for my year. I can take pics if anyone thinks it will help.
