Anybody receive their custom tunes in the past couple weeks?

I know the 4.56 might be a little more gear than I really need, but I don't have this thing for mileage! If somebody out there would make reverse cut 4.30's for our 4 wheel drives, I would have gone with that. I may have succumbed to a little peer pressure on the gear choice, but now I won't feel like a poser with a bigger truck with no power!

+1,000,000! Although, a 4.10 final isn't a whole lot more than a 3.73...and you never want to be stuck wondering "what if?"...that's why I'm also leaning towards the 4.56s. The nice thing about 4.10s is that if you decide that 33s may be in your future, you don't need to change gears again...*sigh* This is one of the hardest decisions to make...on the Mustang it was easy. If I went with 4.10s, I run out of 4th gear by 1/4 mile so 3.73s was the easy choice. Not so easy on the Monster Truck.

One thing to keep in mind is that the throttle controls are load based and the more gear you use, the less load the engine sees and the less power it will try to make. We had a customer running 4.88's in his truck and the poor thing wouldn't get out of its own way. Now if he was running 38's, everything would have evened out and would have been fine but he was running pretty short tires (33's I think) and it simply killed his performance.

4.30's would actually be a good call, if you could get a set to fit the front. Gears are always a tough decision because they are QUITE expensive to do on a 4x4 and not something you want to change more than once.

Good luck in the decision making process.

No doubt it's expensive! I was "friend price" quoted $1600-1700 for parts and labor...

I submitted my order via PM to Corey on January 8, 2009 and sent a couple clarification messages up to 1/10/09. Never got an answer to my 'estimated wait time' question, and haven't heard back since 1/8/09 even in response to my followup in May.

I read somewhere a while ago about a list that we can check to see progress on our order, but I haven't been able to find that list nor where I read about it.

My UserCP shows that Corey was a 'recent visitor' but there's no date to know when that was.

Corey or Bill can you provide any insight/update?

Thanks guys.

[Edit: My UserCP is missing model and serial # info, maybe this is the problem. I will report these tonight when I can check the unit.]

[Edit #2: Also worth noting; I have added EFans since submitting my information to Corey. Lincoln Mark VIII with DCControls FK-50P.]

Your serial number is how Bill "tags" your tunes so that only YOU can upload them to your Gryphon.

To see where things stand, download and install the latest version of Pegasus. It is V2.01.0575. Anything earlier is no good now.

Using the diagnostic menu in your Gryphon, locate and write down the Serial Number, the Model Number, the Device Type and double check that you have the HEX or "Calibration" code correct.

Then, add the serial number and model number to your UserCP here in the forums.

In addition, in Pegasus, click on Help->Registration and fill in all the details, then click on "Save".

Now, in Pegasus, you can click on Updates->Current Update Status to see what invoice# (Serial Number) Bill is working on and you can tell if you are close, have been passed up because of incomplete information or even if your tunes are ready (which could be the case).

If you were passed up, try to connect with Corey to insure they have the information they need.

Corey, I can't PM you?

[Coke734]

"Groovy Chick" is no longer receiving PMs, it seems...

Any updates? Please let Bill know that in addition to the mods listed below, I now also have EFANS.

Coke, I just sent a link to this post to Corey and Bill through the Moderator's network. Hopefully, someone will respond soon.
