OK - a little followup: I like being able to see the current gear and the TC status in the Gryphon. I'll probably keep monitoring that as well as the TFT and Battery. I was interested in how the TC unlocks as soon as you come off the gas pedal a bit - I had not expected that behavior.

I've only driven it on the country roads around where we live so far. The nearest interstate is about 14 miles away. I seem to be getting a more "locked" state in the TC so far by having the 4th gear lock set at -5 and the 4th gear unlock set at -7.

I was also fascinated at how quickly the truck would shift all the way up to 4th on light acceleration from a standstill. I think that's part of how you tuned it Bill, and it "feels" right! Before I had the PID to confirm things, I thought it was shifting that way, but since the shifts are so "light" at these throttle pressures (just the standard, "keep up with traffic" acceleration), I wasn't really sure.

I'll probably experiment more with the lock and unlock settings, for all the gears now as well as, possibly the part throttle shift points.

Anyway, thanks again! I think, Bill, your modifications to the Gryphon are really adding to its value.
