Commander or Attitude?

Which is the best setup of digital gauges for all around use - towing and highway driving? This would be for a stock 06 4x4.
Thanks!

I have a commander with the A pillar, and everyone asks if it came from factory like that, my buddy has the other one on his Ford He like it. I like Commander because of size. However, I think the other has cool down turbotimer. I would still get Commander though, for me, because of size. Can't see as well as used to so like big numbers.

I'm happy with the look and capabilities of my Commander. I don't have any experience with it so I can't comment of the Attitude.

If the Commander had been available at the time I was installing my gauges I would have purchased it. I have seen both, I prefer the Commander. You can always get a turbo cool down timer if you need one. With gauges you can watch the cool down at idle, it only takes a little bit of time to wait.

Keep in mind that you have to purchase the Juice/Attitude combo if you want to use the Attitude for gauges. Not that it is bad but, a lot of people get the wrong impression that you can use the Attitude as a stand alone monitor and you cannot.

With the Commander it can be just gauges or it can control a module.

I purchase the Commander with the pillar mount, and people asks if it's a factory option, looks great. Also purchased the fuel pressure kit. It's problem the best bang for the buck out there. Even better, they are still working on the Commander making improvements and I only see it getting better. But the most important part is the customer support is excellent.

Ya, great info. I was wondering if the Attitude could be used as a stand alone for gauges, not wondering anymore, thanks qzilla. I do like the cool down turbo timer feature though.

Does your fuel pressure reading on the Commander register properly?
Mine alternated between 1 and 2 PSI at idle, then did the computer update and now registers between 2 and 3 psi at idle.
From other threads, Quad says normal, at idle, PSI should be 5 or 6 psi.
Am waiting to hear back from Quad on how to fix.

For those of you who have the fuel pressure kit with Commander, what pressure reading do you get at idle?

Thanks

My Fuel pressure guage on Commander has never been accurate since day one. Hooked if up, read 5 lbs, checked with manual guage and was 8- 10 lbs idle. Then it got where it would read 0; and 0 - 5 going down road--- truck ran great. Had performance GDP setup and now reads 15. Rich at GDP says they should read 20 - 22. I've done update to no avail. Guess I will wait for another update, I hate to take it out and send it back, but I love the commander, except I would like accurate Fuel Press. guage.
