Commander freeze-up
Anybody ever have a Commander freeze up while driving? I was heading down the highway and 15 minutes into the drive the display just went static!
When I got to a place where I could stop, I cut the engine and restarted. It came back (to normal conditions) but I don't want this to happen again.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be the cause?

It may never happen again or it could? hard to say as we have only seen a couple so far but, if you want call tech and tell them what happened and they will get it fixed or swapped out for you.

Yeah, I know what it is. We have had a couple do this and it is the height of the LCD screen on the board itself. For some reason when it was assembled they put about 1/32" space between the bottom of the display and the backlight. Anyhow what happens is that when it is installed in the plastic enclosure it puts a very slight amount of pressure on it (it is supposed to) and the extra height makes it a little too much pressure. Now in a static world they are still fine but, being in a bumpy truck could make it show up.

Anyone in tech can help you. 888-842-6572.
I hate that stupid stuff happens to but, I have found that when you produce thousands and thousands of anything there is bound to be a few that have an issue. We test and test and test and still have little stuff from time to time. I think we figured that each Commander has about 20 total minutes of labor just testing each one before they ship. Trust me it is a pain in the rear and then we still learn about things that can happen in a truck and not on a bench!
It may never be a problem for you but, we will gladly replace it for piece of mind!

Talked to Tech Service today and, since the units are on backorder, I would have to send mine in and wait 2+ weeks if there had to be a replacement. I am waiting until the backorder status is gone and then I will send it in for diagnosis and repair.
The display now comes on, shows only the Fuel Pressure readout, and then I have to press around the screen to get my normal display view to show up. Tech Service said that it may be a low pressure warning at first, so I will leave it alone and monitor it for the next few weeks.
Thanks Qzilla for the assistance.
