my story and my questions

As far as the IDS is concerned, I can't help you. I'd love to have one but I don't.

Are you interested in "pass-through" like programming capable? If so, you're looking at about $1800 minimum in addition to the required subscriptions that allow the reprogramming.

I have a lot of experience with generic scan tools from OTC and Snap-On. Personally the Genisys from OTC is my favorite, and I have yet to use a Snap-On Verus but I think it would likely take the cake......that's almost $10K though so I won't be using one any time soon. I have AutoEnginuity and it works very well for the price. It uses your existing laptop computer and comes in really handy at times.

my buddy has an evolution for a f150

it is an eef2400
version e3.08 08a
date of man. 12/21/05

could this be upgrades to a gryphon for use on my 04 f250 6.0?

It depends on the year of truck the F-150 is. If it's an 04-08, then yes.

the mongoose ford is a pass through device and will flash ford modules and run with ids,ford vodu and most auto software including elm software. it is made by cardaq and has all functions of the rotunda vcm for ford and the motorcraft website endorses it. retail 500.00

before i found you guys i was looking for some way to get into my trucks modules. as for the subscription why would you want one? ids will not let you go backward in programming. vodu is suppose to?

i have a copy of the ford vodu software if you may be interested? i still need to get a mongoose though. and i may not need it now when i get you guys to to roll me back. but i thought you may be interested in this knowledge.

also the edge evolution f150 is for an 04-08 so if i can talk him out of it reasonable i will. and have you guys update it to a gyphone, it is not the cs/cts but i do not care as long as it works.

i was getting into doing an order for a complete roll back pcm/ficm just sending them to you all but then i was reading about your programmers that you send out so we can program the truck at home.

it looks to me as if you might send out a gryphon to do this?

if this is the case than could it be that a man could buy a gryphon or get his edge updated and at the same time roll back his pcm and ficm and save some down time? if you guys could accomplish this you could sell more gryphons and do a package deal even if a guy had to buy the gryphon put it on his truck and program it and send it back to you with the original back up and let you roll it back or if the person could send you an original back up. along with his need to update his edge or by email? food for thought

i know there might be some thing that makes this not feasible, that i am not aware of, but it would be a faster turnaround for php.

i also have a copy of the ids software. both the vodu and ids will run on any laptop.

then buy a mongoose cody and you could have your ids for a lot less man helping man it is a great concept!!!

just read that bill can program and reset the gryphon remotly

OUTSTANDING

to much information scattered in the forum lol

no i understand you need my programmer in your hand to convert it to a gryphon.

upon more reading i discovered that after you have sent the programmer back to me.

that you can remotely program my programmer to program my pcm/tcm and ficm

and then reset my programmer back to being just my new gryphon

am i correct?
