battery issue

OK, there are only two things that effect the speed: TS and GR. If these two settings are correct, when you load a program, I can't figure out anything else to suggest.

When you say the RPM has also been effected, how? Is it low or high? (Same question for speed too.) And, how do you know the RPM and speed readings are wrong? What are you comparing them to?

Possibly, a firmware file has gotten corrupted.

If this is a monochrome Gryphon, set your truck back to stock and connect the Gryphon to Pegasus. Click on [Updates]->[Gryphon Update Manager]. This should restore all files to the original state, and will replace your custom tunes with canned tunes. Then, to restore your custom tunes, reconnect and click on [Updates]->[Custom File Download (Internet)].

But, if it's a CS/CTS, you can TRY connecting to Fusion to do the same thing, but that will also replace your custom tunes with the canned ones. Bill will then have to reload your custom tunes on the Fusion server before you can get them back. I'd talk to him before trying the Fusion approach.

well lets see i tried to updated the firmware and now the gryphon is not working at all going to have to call monday and hopefully get it fixed. the question about the rpm was i was accelorating steady and rpm on gryphon would shoot up then come back to normal.

The erratic display (which is not what I thought you were describing) is often caused by faulty connections at the OBDII port. Could be loose connectors or even wiring loose at the back of the port itself.

But, if the display is now blank, it could be one of these:

Check the cable connections.

Check the cigarette lighter fuse. This same fuse powers both the lighter and the OBDII power supply.

It could be the wires going into the OBD port itself, they can be loose inside the OBD port and reaching behind the plug and wiggling the wire might make the Gryphon turn on and off. If this is the case, use an electrical connector "spoon" to pull the bad wire out, spread the little tab on the wire end and put it back in. A somewhat "cruder" fix is to use part of a tooth pick and push an end of it into the back side of the port on the hole with the loose wire, this tightens up the connection and all is good again. Not an elegant repair, but it works.

Notice the wiring to the OBD port can be the problem here too.

You MAY need Bill's help to fix your problem, but he's hard to get hold of sometimes. Until you do, check the cigarette lighter, if it works, it's not a fuse problem.
