I was just thinking that if it's done stock why can't it be unplugged with any tune?
Was thinking I could unplug it for the winter.....or atleast during the bitter cold weather to save the drain in the battery while programmer is in sleep mode. But I would still be driving my truck on performance tune.

Yes indeed you can do that. I removed my Gryphon when I drove my truck about 150 miles into Mexico out of fear it would get somehow "liberated". The unit simply acts as a monitor once the PCM is programmed on any level and has no effect on the truck at all.

Before I bought a Battery Tender, I unplugged the Gryphon too, since my truck does a lot of sitting in the garage.
