No more Gryphon for 97-03 F150?

[twintips_17]

^^^^^^ He beat me to it^^^^^^^^

Well that sucks.

My father was just about to order one to...... Any idea on if they are trying to fix it?? THis is the first i have heard of it. What exactly is the problem? Maybe that is why I can’t get mine to work half of the time.... Doubt it.

The down side to the sct is it doesn't mount on the dash. You plug it in, do your changes, and unplug it. It still tells you all the same info but just isn't in a configuration for leaving it plugged in.

Now that they have this capability I wonder if they will start to offer the SCT Livewire. Almost the same thing as the gryphon and you can leave it on the dash.

Any thoughts Jack?

I don't know if they have the Livewire in their future at all. But, as I said, a Scangauge gives you the gauges (admittedly, at extra cost).

I also know, twintips, that Bill and Corey will continue to work to fix the problems you are having with your unit. My guess is, the cable could well be the problem. I'd have to think that maybe SOME of the cables made by this manufacturer are OK. It's just that there is an unacceptable failure rate right now.

Your Father's truck is a 97-03 model too?

Yeah. I got mine and then he liked it so much he bought on a year older with twice the miles on it for half hte price and you cant tell the differance between them.... LOL Same color and everything. Mines an FX4 though.

That makes four F150's and Expys sitting in the driveway all in the same 97-03 years. Kind of a family thing.

To just tell you how much the tuning is better. I have the worst driving habits out of all of them. Being 23 and always in the gas... What a shocker.... My dad drives like an old man always babying it. With what i have done to my truck(biggest thing being the tuning) I get almost 2.5 more MPG's over all the other rigs. When were on the highway i see almost 3.5 over them. And they all have the same gears and tire sizes. And they are all 5.4's.

I let him borrow mine every once in a while and he never wants to give it up. Says that it has a lot more feal to driving it.

I would just hate to see them not be able to offer up such a great product. He really had his heart set on a gryphon and i almost had him talked into ordering one this next couple of weeks.....

If they can get the problem resolved, we'll be happy to add the 97-03 F-150 Gryphon back to our product line! It's just that for the time being, we don't think it's fair to sell something to our customers when we're not sure if it's going to work or not.

We actually sold one yesterday to a customer who called, and we explained everything about the cable. He decided to take a chance since it doesn't seem that 100% of the cables that are having the problem.

Thats a bummer Corey. Sorry to hear that. On a lighter note. I have seen that some people that ordered custom tuens in the same week or so as me have gotten theirs. Any idea of how close i am to the top of the pile???

I know it was a busy week when you guys were putting on that sale. I was just curious.

Thanks.

Am I correct it seeing that the Phoenix is available for gassers too (as shown on PHP website?)
why not run a Phoenix instead of the Gryphon?????

[soutthpaw]

is it shift on the fly like the diesels??

From what i hear it is. But you would lose the guages again. And thats a big deal to me and im sure to others. Thats what made the edge, gryphon, and livewire so nice!!!

[soutthpaw]

So all is not lost!!! I could see getting a Gryphon if you already owned an Edge but I think its a better deal to get the Phoenix with the option of 6 tunes... and a scangauge II or similar for about the same money as a Gryphon.. (probably less if u got only 3 tunes like Gryphon) I think the scangauge is about $150. Heck you can probably do the :flipoff: chip download and then burn your own tunes... Or add Minotaur and do your own tuning...

I cannot see anyone wanting to go back to a programmer after owning a Flip Chip!!!!
