Sorry, Another Commander check engine light
I have checked my ground and all connections, and still have a check engine light on.
Everything is working great as far as I can tell, all readings are perfect to the book.
OK what do I do now??????????????

Did you check the code yet?
I had a check engine light come on about a week ago. I started the truck one morning and the engine stumbled a bit, triggering a p0191 code. Then coming home from Arizona Christmas Eve it started hesitating and surging (not much fun when pulling a coach through the desert). Since then I haven't had any problems and this morning the check engine light went out. I checked all connections and everything seems good. We'll see if it happens again...

Well Pauly the light went out from last night when I finished the install, it quit driveing to work today. Every thing seems fine. I don't know how to get codes other than go to a mechanic.???
I do notice a slight change in engine noise from the EGT probe. or maybe it's just me thinking I can??
I did tow my trailer with it home today. Here's what reading i got.
Max's (was kind of pushing it a bit)
EGT 1100+/-
Boost hit 30 ( hammering the throttle to get on the frwy)
Tranny 170
water 199
Those are max's, and would drop as soon as I got off the LOUD peddel.
Avg.'s
EGT 650
Boost 7-9"ish"
Tranny 140
water 188
I hope the light stays out. I know there's info out there on this somewhere i just got to dig it up.
By the way Pauly, I sold my Weekend Warrior Trailer, the guy picks it up 10am tomarrow. The hunt for a 5th wheel starts SOON....

By the way, you can check the code by quickly cycling the key from off to run (don't engage the starter) 3 times in succession. That's how I pulled the code on mine.
You dog you, I'm dying to get that 5th wheel...just need to find a way to pay for it! Still looking at the K-Z?

Thanks for the info on the codes Pauly........cool deal. If the light come's back I'll be ready this time. I think a few others had the same thing and there's went out after some driving too.
I got the XZT tow module in the mail today, I'll save that install for when I get a new 5ver. The Ride Rite Bags are in the garage and I'll save that bit of work for when I have to block it up, climb under there for the SuperGlide 5er hitch install. I'll just make a day/weekend of the whole under the rear end deal.
If Mama wins it's a KZ Montego Bay 36', If I win it's a WW LE3505 or a CR 3705.
The battle of wills has begun
