Clearly, somewhere, I missed something! Axlehead, I didn't know you connected the Gryphon to Pegasus without returning your truck to stock first. Somewhere, my feeble old brain remembers that Bill has upgraded Pegasus so it won't work with your unit unless it HAS been returned to stock? But, in your case, it did, since you were able to update the splash screen.
Possibly, just possibly, updating the splash screen is not quite like updating firmware - in fact I'll bet that's the case. I'm betting your stock tune is still there and everything is fine, but -
In the future, return the Gryphon to stock before connecting it to your PC, and
DO NOT return the truck to stock for an emissions inspection! That's an almost certain way to get a failure unless you put your truck through enough drive cycles to get rid of codes the set back to stock creates. Just take your truck to the emissions station with your current tune set in. Everything I've read on this says the only people who fail are the ones who DO set their trucks back to stock before the test!
If it will make you any more comfortable, simply remove the Gryphon and tuck the OBDII cable up out of sight before you take it to emissions, so they won't have a reason to question you. That's what I plan to do.
