Thanks Jack. I just ordered my gryphon last week I'll ask about that when I send in the HEX code for my custom tunes. Or should I email them right away, I'm assuming Bill doesnt start working on custom tunes until he has the Hex code?

Thanks again

Joe

You're right, he doesn't start working until he has your hex and then that puts you in the "queue", so it really starts a few weeks later (maybe 4-6 weeks).

Looking over what I posted last time though, I MAY have been wrong. I actually think Bill can engineer "slop" into the cruise control. Trouble is, it would work on a downhill followed by an uphill, but you'd hate it on an uphill following a "flat", because you'd slow way down.

What you really want is something that lets you speed up, but not slow down and I don't know if he can do that. It's worth asking about though. Bill has PMs turned off and email seems pretty "chancy". Corey responds to PM's and you may be able to describe the "speedup slop" you want but not the "slowdown slop" when you send in your hex code (I haven't looked at the form used for this to see if there's a "remarks" section).

It would be best if you could call Bill and ask about this "feature" on the phone.

Thanks Jack, it would be really cool if my cruise wasnt so set on holding speed going down hill. Gas is expensive and gravity is free and I'll take free when I can.

I hear you Joe, loud and clear! I'd like mine to do this too, when I'm not pulling a trailer. (I'm VERY reluctant to get above 65 mph now that I had both trailer tires fail due to cord separation - at 2 years and 5,000 miles!)
