Custom Tune Edit help

[cajunboy2208]

ok that cleared most of it up.
Just to be sure, leave the gear ratio to 3.73?

I got 1/2 tank of gas left before I start editing the custom tunes.

No! If you have 3.55 gears, that's what you need to put in. You will HAVE to do this yourself, because the Custom Options menu does not know what you have, so it just loads a "common value". Hell, if engine size was one of the settings (it's not) it could default to 4.6L.

Now please, pay attention to what I say:

1. Open Custom Options
2. Set the Gear Ratio to 3.55 and hit [enter].
3. Set your Tire Size to the correct value and hit [enter] (you'll have to figure this out yourself since I don't know what tires you have).
4. Make any other changes you need to make, hitting [enter] after each value you look at or set.
5. Scroll to "Done" and hit [enter] to start programming.

Now, the NEXT time you decide to use the Custom Options menu (after this one), IMMEDIATELY scroll to "Load Previous Settings" and hit [enter] just as soon as you open the menu! This will reset all the values you've customized into the appropriate places. If you want to change anything, you do it AFTER "loading previous settings"!

If you try to do any of this any other way, you will be doing it WRONG! (And if your truck does not work right, you have only yourself to blame.)

How to you find out the tire size input?
I was trying to find the forumla on here, gave up on the 10th page of searches.

Check your gryphon manual. It has the formula in it.

Sorry for posting to an older thread. I'd just rather add to another instead of creating a new one.

Just looking for a little clarification, when you select "load Previous Settings" does that set it back to what Bill has set or what the previous custom settings i would of changed it to?

Also, ive heard of a few people lowering the shift points, would this help anything like MPG or is there another reason for changing them

Thanks ahead of time!

I would only adjust custom tunes as per Bill's instructions....other than tires and gears....

IF you have made changes to the tune using the Custom Options Menu, then "Load Previous Settings" recalls and applies the last values you used in each of the options, NOT the settings Bill applied. If you did not change an option, then the original value in your custom tune is applied.

Like 88Racing said, don't go changing things willy-nilly. Make sure you understand what and WHY you are changing them. If you are not careful, you can easily counter some of the benefits Bill has given you in your tunes. And, none of us are really qualified to tell you what will or will not improve (or hurt) things. Every truck and driving situation is different.
