Default Bought a Gryphon

OK, So I just bought a gryphon second hand. I picked it up from a guy in the Gwinnett area. He bought it at the end of last year from Bill at their shop and had to sell the truck and now I have it.

The problem: While talking to him this afternoon, he informs me that when he sold the truck to the dealer they whiped the board and he had already removed the gryphon. He also didn't set the truck back to stock. I tried to call today before I left meeting with him but it was 3:45 PHP was closed.

Now to the meat: what to do now? He gave me the disk, the pod and even his receipt from PHP.

I know from reading on here that he should have returned it to stock but he said that he didn't know to do that.
Thanks for reading my long winded story.

You are going to have to have Bill at PHP "unlock" it. I believe there is a $75.00 unlock fee. The need to return the Gryphon to a "stock" state before removing it from the truck has been all over this board and others. I think the guy you bought it from owes you $75.00, and I'd ask him for it.

As things stand, you have a "doorstop". DO NOT connect it to your truck or to the PC without talking to PHP.

Thanks Jack. Yeah I have read some on this in here and f150online. I knew you would get back to me. I will try to call Bill tomorrow. I bought this thing from a guy that lives near PHP. With the profession he is in I don't think he would try to pull one over on me, but maybe thats just me trying to believe in the good. For 150.00 I'm sure I can make something happen.

Thanks again.

Yesterday, I called the guy that I bought the gryphon from and mentioned that he should have returned it back to stock when he sold the truck. This was his response. So, with that being said. I went to PHP yesterday and Bill unlocked my Doorstop and turned it into a gryphon!
It was a very good experience. Bill and Cody seem like really good people. Last night I set everything up and put it on level 2. WOW! what a difference.

I'm sorry you had that experience with the guy who sold you the unit. I would like to think people would be more responsible.

But, now you see why some of us have such a high opinion of the people at PHP!

Jack, I am going to post this on f150online aswell but wanted to get your opinion and anyone else that wants to chime in.
One of the main reasons that I got this programmer was the fact that my tranny was slipping. At about 30mph or so foot off the pedal coasting, I would give gas to pick up with traffic or start back up a hill, the engine would idle up as if it was in neutral and then drop into gear. This seems to have been taken care of with the tuner and the canned tunes on it. Last night when I was trying out my new toy I noticed that problem was gone. After I made the turn and started heading back to the house I throttled it pretty hard and was holding thru the gears. I believe going into 3rd it slipped, idled up then dropped into gear.

I am thinking this might be an issue with the tranny still since this happened.
Any thoughts would be appericiated.
