conditions. Selecting values that will be reached on a normal basis will affect drivability as 
the truck will constantly be defueling. If you are drag racing it is recommended to turn the 
defuel settings to OFF. The defuel settings will be functional even if you choose not to 
view the parameter.  
 
Example: If you choose a 1 function display for EGT, but you want to defuel based on 
boost, the X2 will display EGT at all times, but it will defuel the engine when the boost 
level reaches your set maximum. The X2 will return the full amount of power that you 
have selected once the parameter that was exceeded is back within a normal operation 
range. 
 

Warnings 

Once you enter the warnings menu, you will be able to set a visible warning to any 
monitored parameter. You do not have to be viewing the parameter in order for it to give 
a warning. You may set as many warnings as you desire. Once again, it is recommended 
to keep your warnings practical as constant warnings flashing on your screen may 
become undesirable. The X2 has the ability ti display as many as 4 different warnings at 
one time. 
 
If one warning is reached, then the X2 will switch to a 1 function display, and display the 
parameter that has reached the maximum. If two warnings are reached, the X2 will show 
the 2 function display with a warning on each side. The 3 and 4 function screens will 
appear if 3 or 4 warnings are reached. The X2 will continue to display the warnings until 
the parameters fall back below your set maximum, or you can reset the warnings. 
 
Once again, it is not necessary to view any of the parameters that you choose to set 
warnings for. The warnings are meant for parameters that you choose not to watch and 
that you want the X2 to watch for you. This gives you the ability to view only those 
parameters that you desire to see all the time. 
 

Setup 

This menu allows you to select your particular vehicle, choose a power module or chip to 
control, turn sensors on and off, set 
warm-up mode, calibrate your EGT 
gauge, or retrieve version and serial 
numbers. 
 
The setup menu is as follows: 
 

Vehicle Setup 

This menu allows you to choose what
