? on the commander
Has anyone used the commander with the Dp chip or used the commander as just a stand alone gauge system. I am just wanting to get some info on how accurite they are compared to analog gauges. Thanks for any imput.

I actually just put a commander in my truck today. I plan on using it as a stand alone gauge. I don't really know how it compares to other gauges, as I have never had other gauges. Seems like it is pretty accurate so far. But I haven't really driven with it all that much yet.

i had the commander just for the gauges but sold it for the edge evo2 but now someone want to buy it from me so now i am thinking i might buy some analog gauges.I no that the two gauges dont read boost correctly but it is real nice to have all that features that the evo provides.

I'll be sure to let you know. I don't have one of those annilators on my truck, but the boost readings seem to be pretty accurate so far.

seemed to work for me so far. dont use the chip that is an optoin. seemed to screw things up, and the fuel presure is not consistant, but I really dont use it for Diesel psi. when I am on VO is when I need it to read right.
I think said and done and not ever using the other gauges and I were buying again, I would get the analog ones. but since I have what I have I am happy with it thus far.
Oh, the buttons sometimes dont work, so you have to take it apart to clean the contacts. but I dont change my setting ususally once its going.
