MY NEW WORK TRUCK CAME WITH A 4.6L V8 ENGINE AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ACQUIERE THE PHP GRYPHON, I WILL MOST PROBABLY ORDER IT WITH THE 87 PERFORMANCE TUNE, I AM A GC HERE AND I USE MY TRUCK TO LOCALLY MOVE FROM JOBSITE TO JOBSITE WITH SOME SMALL EQUIPMENT, TOOLS AND MATERIALS, NEVER TO TOW ANY THING, I AM READING MOST OF YOUR POSTINGS TO BETTER LEARN FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES BEFORE PLACING MY ORDER.

SALUTE AND GOD BLESS TO ALL OF U.

Howdy

So you are looking into the CS and CTS models? They sure are neat.

Also, you dont need to use caps lock ALL the time

Correct, CS or CTS, i must learn a litle bit abou it in order not to make any mistake, the information on this forum is great to that purpose.
Sorry about the caps lock, every day you learn something,
Thanks for your info.

I finally ordered my CS today, we'll see what's next

hmm... what's next... well if you are like me you wont be able to afford anything else because of my less than ideal gas mileage... I swear my foot gets heavier as soon as I start walking to my truck...

For a real answer, what are you looking for in the truck? better mileage, power, towing ability, E: all of the above?

Thank you for taking your time to answer my posting, now to be honest, all i am looking for is better mileage, fuel is very expensive down here these days, every dime counts.

The biggest thing with mileage is your driving habits, so if you drive nicely you should get pretty good with just they gryphon helping. There are other things like the Gotts mod, putting in a different air filter (debatable by some), and electric fans and underdrive pulleys can also make a difference.
Good luck, and dont have too much fun with it when you do get it
