Thanks for keeping us in the loop too, mmandley.

I hope people realize that a great deal of Bill's time goes to simply helping people out with problems like you have, that they can't figure out. Often, of course, the problem is simple "operator error". But other times, like yours, the problem is much, much more complicated.

Let us know what happens and what the cure was, please?

Hi everyone

Well i spoke with Bill this morning and he had a file all ready for me to download. So we downloaded it and then plugged it back in the truck and still same failure.
Then you could see the light over Bills head come on as he at the same time did a face/palm move and said dammit i messed it up last night.

He said go back and re update the Gryphon, i put your old Stock file back on it that we already know doesn't work, instead of the new file i made lol.

Redowloaded the new Stock File and back to the truck i went. This time it WORKED AWESOME

The truck is hooked up with the 87 Custom Tow Tune and the 87 Custom Performance Tune woot woot

Now i can finally install my JLT Ram Air kit.

So the problem ended up being 2 things.

D2 error = bad harness from the supplier.

CheckSum Fail error - Stock File with the truck, eighter the old harness corrupted it or some issue with the stock check points and the upgrade checkpoints not matching up right for some reason.

Bill got it squared away.

Man awesome service and never doubted Bill for a minute that he couldnt fix it.

Thanks again to everyone who gave ideas and listened and hopefully this will help with other Ford trucks that have this issue and it will be a quick fix now.

And, kudos to Bill too, for having the interests of the customer at heart and for being willing to go the extra mile to take care of things!

Glad you're finally in business, mmandley - there must have been times when you wondered if it was going to be worth it!

Some times i wondered a little only because i bought my JLT Ram Air kit and its been sitting int he box for months now.

I did get the JLT installed today and went for a drive.

WOW

WOW

WOW

The truck is soo responsive now and the exhaust even sounds different and WOT that big truck gets up and goes now. < 87 Performance >

Sunday im pulling the boat 130 miles to the Big reservoir in Eugene OR and im interested to see how the Tow Tune goes. I can only expect better results.

I have to say getting the new 3inch Flowmaster Duel exhaust the Gryphon and the JLT really woke my truck up. I thought it was powerful and pretty fast for a 6K+ truck but now it really gets up and moves.

Nothing but good things to say about PHP.

Thanks Again
