I listed the thread but I was having problems "custom tuning" my gryphon. Well I kind of just forgot about the problem as it wasn't too big of a deal but it hit me again this week when I went to have some fun. I changed my tune from the towing to the performance tune. Did a couple of 0-60's and then went to go back to my old tune.

I brought the menu up like always and went through everything and hit load last settings (or whatever it says on the last line) and it went into a sputter. Not a no start but it wouldn't run right. It was VERY rough. So I retuned it back the 87 tow and it was fine.
This sounds like you were in the Custom Options menu? The "Load Previous Settings" step is the FIRST thing you want to do if you want to recover your saved tire size, gear ratio, WOT shift points, etc.

When you are finished after this (after any additional settings you make), you scroll to "Done" and hit <Enter> , then sit back and let your Gryphon program the PCM.

I know the fuel I am buying is good 91. I have search everywhere for non-ethanol fuel. I’m the only one to put fuel in my truck ever. So I know what I have in it.
Again, you first want to "Load Previous Settings" BEFORE you make any changes. The changes will overwrite portions of the previous settings and previous settings will "wipe out" any new changes you have just entered, but not programmed into the PCM. And if you advance the timing and program the PCM, that value becomes embedded into your "Previous Settings". It would not be correct if you went back to 87 octane gas.

It sounds like you may be doing the "Previous Settings" step out of sequence. You're not really reloading your previous tow tune.

You're on the main display screen when you do this? Have you tried changing the "click rate" (to use a mouse button description)? In other words, increase or decrease the pause time between pushes on the <Enter> button?

Any help.....
Again, I think you are doing the "Load Previous Settings" step out of order. Do it first - right after you go into Custom Options. Then, because things are clearly screwed up, go through each and EVERY one of your custom options! Make sure they are correct - especially the timing (it should be no more than +2 degrees) for 91 octane gas on an 87 octane tune. When you finish, scroll to "Done" and hit <Enter> to start the programming process. It will take quite a while. Make sure your battery is at full charge. Leaving a trickle charger on it as you do this would not hurt. Make sure your AC blower, radio and headlights are off too.

Hopefully, this will get things back the way they should be. Let me know what happens, OK?
