My Gryphon, changing trucks

[88Racing]

This is something I learned over on another forum.
I thought I knew the body classes(PCM) of these trucks but there are some additional groups.
97-2003
04heritage
2004-2008
2006-2008ffv
2007-2008
You can hook it up and return it to stock via pegasus but have Bill or Corey let you know if it's compatible. Better to know now then to not to know.

I don't want Jack having to buy "something"

Thanks for the info. My new computer wont run the program.

I will call them to be sure. I returned my truck to stock. It was a supercrew XLT with a 4.6.

My new to me truck is a Lariat supercrew with a 5.4 with 30,000 miles.


I will try to update on my old laptop.

Thanks

Pegasus doesn't like 64-bit Vista at all. You CAN make Pegasus work on 32-bit Vista and the procedure is in the Pegasus manual which you can download from PHP's website. If your laptop is Windows XP, Pegasus WILL run on it.

Thanks for looking out for me Lars, but I think I'm OK here. I'm pretty sure he must have the older hardware in his Gryphon, but with a firmware update, it should recognize all the hex codes in the 2004-2008 trucks.

So its the "firmware" that recognizes the pcm hex codes. I just had a bad assumption that it was something else. As long as the firmware is up to date then all is well.

I'm pretty sure it's firmware Lars. Edge has two models of their programmer out for 2004-2008 trucks I believe. Naturally, the ones manufactured in 2004 wouldn't have anything "built in" to them to work with any later trucks. But, they CAN work with those later trucks, so, it has to be though an update to the hex code table they use.

Ok, Updated the gryphon on my old computer and it gave me a warning that it would overwrite the custom tunes, updated it since I dont need those anymore. Put the programmer in my new truck and tried a custom canned tune, (uping the top speed), it stated that with my current version this was not supported.

I then just did a canned level 2 with no custom options and it worked fine, it just wont let me up the speed limiter.

Any ideas

What was the first canned tune you tried?
