camander fuel presure after update????

i just received my adapter to get the x2 to work with the camander,i updated the camander and now my fuel pres reads half of what it did before,it read 18-20 when i installed it,now it reads 9-10.it goes to 20 if i change the setting to the 40psi sensor,how do i know what sensor i have?im confused,do i have 20psi or 10?with the old version on the camander it didnt have the setting for 40-100psi sensor,also what does the fuel pres adjustment do?is the middle default?thanx for any info

If you'e running the stock lift pump the 9 PSI measurement is the correct one. What color is your FP sender?

The commander has adjustments in fuel pressure so you can calibrate to your specific set up. I have learned that the default settings are almost always correct, and I doubt you'll have to monkey with it.

I've had both types of senders. My 100 PSI was Olive Drab green, and my current sender, which is 40 PSI, is brass. You may want to call Quad just verfiy what sender you have.

I'm not completely for sure but I think the 100 psi sender can be used on any diesel truck to read pressure, but it is made more specifically for the Powerstroke engines. Don't quote me on that, but I think I'm right.

As for your pressure, you should be seeing 9-10 psi max. If you're reading 20 psi you are definately on the wrong setting.
