Just finished installing the Quad race and Commander. Everything is good except seems like the boost reading is on 39 just idling and it doesnt move. Whats the culprit?

 

are you sure you got it on the right color wire, and its on dodge and your year model

 

Also make sure you have a really good connection at the T tap. I had to re-crimp mine twice before I got a good connection. And as texaspower19 said, make sure you have the Commander setup correctly for your year and make of truck. That is the only thing I wish had been included with my Commander is a good set of instructions on how everything works. I just had to play with it for a couple of days to learn how it worked. (That did not sound right at all).......

 

Ive teed into the dark green wire and the blue one. I did the set up on the truck also. Guess i can check the connections again.

 

It took me two trys on the boost wire before it worked right. For some reason I was just not getting a good connection. Once I did it worked fine.

 

The dark blue wire has a good connection with the t tap, checked it with a meter. Commander still reading 39 psi boost. The dark blue wire is the one it gets its reading from isnt it?

 

I just walked out and checked and mine is a medium to dark blue wire. Maybe Quad will chime in and give you more help.

 

Thats what I thought. I unplugged the blue wire with the connector on it and it still has the same 39 psi reading with out it plugged in.

 

The only other thing I would try is disconnecting the Commander from the power source and reset it. Then go back in and set it back up again and see if anything changes. If not then give Quad a call tomorrow. I know that is not much help.

 

Yeah Ill holler at him tomorrow. Thanks guys.

 

bump, bump

 

u ever get it figured out

 

Yeah, its a done deal. Just a loose conn. Just finished installing my swagelok tee into my tranny line for the tranny temp. Seems the commander is stuck on 100. Ill have to look at it tomorrow. I know it has to have been warming up past that, its not that cold in Texas.

 

As you're probably already aware, it starts at 100, so it probably didn't get above that....qzilla answered another post about this same topic a week or so ago (maybe longer)....if I find it I'll post the link to it.

Hopefully it's something simple you can get solved!

overcomer401965, I am not that far from you so our temps are about the same. It takes my truck about 6 to 8 miles to get above 100* tranny temp when the temps are in the 30's to 40's. Today on the way home from work I saw 140* but as you know it has not been that cold this week. Tomorrow will be a different story.
