I am looking for any updates that deal with this 'miss' issue and was hoping any file fixes could be downloaded automatically without having to trouble yall. I guess my two questions are... has this issue been addressed and will fixes to any problems be pushed out to our software with updates? My hex code is RXCM6E7. I have a 2005 f150 5.4l 4 x 4.

Oh and BTW, def props on the quick response. Wow. I am having so much trouble fixing my truck. I am the one that dealer replaced cam phasers as timing problem. Timing is retarding into the negatives even with power programmer (like -3 and -4) and this is when I notice the miss. Last thoughts are maybe corrupt files and wanting to try downloading the custom tunes that I paid for again. Suggestions?
First, go ahead and update the firmware if you see there's an update available for that, but DO NOT update the "calibrations". (Updating calibrations wipes out your custom tunes and replaces them with canned tunes.)

You of course need to have set your truck back to stock before changing anything in the Gryphon.

Then, do you still get the poor performance out of your truck when it's running at stock? If so, the problems with the truck and not the tunes. The dealer needs to get this right for you - take it back to them (in the stock setting).

If, however, the truck runs fine at stock, (except it's not much fun ) but "acts up" with the tune, after you've upgraded the firmware, then something probably needs to be adjusted in your tunes. Bill will have to get back with you.

Hope this helps. (And I wouldn't worry too much about what you see monitoring timing. I seem to recall other people saying it goes all over the place depending on engine load.)

- Jack
