Then you go to the Gryphon Update Manager and follow those steps.

Level 2 is probably the safest if you keep your foot light. Rather than just thinking it is "boosting low end" it fuels a bit richer, good for generating torque in the lower rpms. You are completely correct, I just figured it'd be better to understand why. Any more detail and you'd have to ask Cody or Bill, they actually mess with that stuff.

Thanks. I actually make it a religious matter to check for Pegasus updated versions monthly. Since I haven't frequented here a whole lot I do make it a habit to keep updating in the scenario I need to remove the programmer form the truck, which was only a total of 3 or 4 times in the 2yrs I ran it in the '04.

I set it up in the Lariat tonight. Some odd reason I think it fit the trim of the XLT better, but the silver paint matches the Lariat trim at least, that bugged me just on the XLT grey but was much too subordinate to ever alter and the 20% tint helped shade it darker anyways.

Well by guestimate mathematics, the richer fuel will help low end get the weight moving but should not be a full blown out race up to high rpms for the sakes of running rich? As I noted in the origin post I do not want to be any bit concerned of my trucks safety, some good economy numbers for my random elevation areas and the ability to quickly pass when need be, and of most importance the health of the transmission. What ever it takes to make it last and not suffer from 33s. This is a bit of what I will need to explain when sending for a custom file.

I recall when I ran the trans only level 1 on the old truck not a thing felt different. Later when I filled up with 93 and set the level 3 timing to 1.5 wow did it sound very beastly on the start and drove excellent. Whenever I wanted it to move fast it went, however that isn't entirely my intentions with this truck. I'm just a little too worried about screwing something up this time around I guess, but the old truck was probably just a little bit of a lemon anyways.
