    FJD, you do not have the option to change posts in Gibbs. the closeset option you have is the PostHast post that are in Gibbs and that to is minumal unless you buy the upgrade post option.

    If you contact your deal;er they will be able to help you.
    They are good about this.

    Have you tried calling your dealer?

    E-mail Gibbs tech support. I asked for mods to my posts and always received my new posts no later than an hour. You'll need to turn on the post processor name & code option in the preference menu, post a program and mark up the NCF file to show what you need corrected. Email both the NCF & VNC file to tech support. The part file is optional but it helps.
