theres a setting in the commander that would make it think you have 26psi when its relly 0-1. unless you have a aftermarket lift pump, go through the commander settings and make sure its on the 0-40 not the 0-100 in the fuel sender settings. on mine i was playing with the settings and at idle it was 7-8ish then when i put it on the 100psi setting it was 30ish.

Yes, you need to be sure you are set vto the corrent pressure range. I would also verify the readings with another gauge.

I can't beleive how many AirDogs we are shipping right now to fix this very complaint..

With pressures like that something is really wrong. New trucks should only see 4 to 9 (11 if you have a big pump behind it like a FASS or AD). Something is up for sure.

Anyway, hook up your FP gauge to the inlet side of the CP3 injection pump and you should be good to go. The filters should be checked just to be sure and so on but sounds to me like there is nothing but air in the line to be honest.

I don't know what your gauge says and where it is hooked up but rail pressure on a stock truck would be somewhere around 25,000 psi. With pressure boxes and other programmers you can push it a bit higgher to safely around 28,000 psi if i remember correct. Anything above that and something is up, is wearing out prematurely or is damaged somewhere.

Check the lift pump in your tank for functionability and then check that pressure. After that change the fuel filter(s) and then get the truck scanned to determine cause of high(er) rail pressure.
