Got My Gryphon

Clearly, somewhere, I missed something! Axlehead, I didn't know you connected the Gryphon to Pegasus without returning your truck to stock first. Somewhere, my feeble old brain remembers that Bill has upgraded Pegasus so it won't work with your unit unless it HAS been returned to stock? But, in your case, it did, since you were able to update the splash screen.

Possibly, just possibly, updating the splash screen is not quite like updating firmware - in fact I'll bet that's the case. I'm betting your stock tune is still there and everything is fine, but -

In the future, return the Gryphon to stock before connecting it to your PC, and

DO NOT return the truck to stock for an emissions inspection! That's an almost certain way to get a failure unless you put your truck through enough drive cycles to get rid of codes the set back to stock creates. Just take your truck to the emissions station with your current tune set in. Everything I've read on this says the only people who fail are the ones who DO set their trucks back to stock before the test!

If it will make you any more comfortable, simply remove the Gryphon and tuck the OBDII cable up out of sight before you take it to emissions, so they won't have a reason to question you. That's what I plan to do.

Ok so as far as emissions go will the custom tune I have ordered be ok for the testing or not? That was why I wanted the stock tune, since California has strict requirements.

EVERY post I have read that talked about having their trucks tested with a "tune" installed has said it passed with flying colors! My truck has not been required to be tested yet, but when it does, I WILL NOT put it back to stock before the test! (And, some of the posts, sorry, I don't know how many, were from people in California).

But, EVERY post I read that talked about setting their truck back to stock before the test, reported a "failure"! This is because of codes in other components that have to go through "drive cycles".
