seems to be a firm connection. likewise, every time that I noticed the frozen parameters, i reach down to confirm the connection between the obdII and the gryphon and nothing changes. the second I press MENU though, the parameter return to their correct values.

Try checking the truck's wires that go into the port maybe. Which PID's are you watching?

I examined the connections at both the port and the gryphon, and it all looks fine. I have been watching Speed/Inst MPG/CHT/TFT. I just changed CHT to Battery Voltage to monitor that, as suggested above.

I just noticed that you have an aftermarket sound system. Does the screen freeze when that is running? Interference from high power stereo systems, cell phones and even alarm systems can cause the processors to freeze.

There doesn't seem to be any correlation between them. I have had the system /alarm for over a year, and the gryphon for only 3 months, but the problem only just started happening on the screen. likewise, the second i press a button, the screen start reading correctly. The speed and MPG PID just stay at "0" until i press a button on the screen.

so... does anyone have any ideas? i really want to get this taken care of.

I left a post on the moderators forum. If I were you, I would try to contact Bill about this. He will probably know exactly whats wrong.
