WOT means WOT Puddle! Stop holding my hand!

[PuddleJumper]

Anyway. So I've been rocking my 33s and occasionally my 37s. I love how my truck handles and rides. However the adaptive algorithm that decides what throttle percentage is appropriate, and not how far i shoved my fuggin foot down. Is annoying to say the least. I know this truck has enough get up and go to chirps the tires and swing it sideways. regardless off which size I'm running. because the first drive after updating my tire size when i swap. Its real easy to break the ass loose with a heavy foot, until the truck learns to not do that. even with stage 1 traction control turned off. Not to mention the very obvious throttle lag, which u have to time to get a good modulation of power out of. (for drifting, for those who wonder why i care) The literal almost second it takes to for the truck to actual open the throttle body from when i moved my foot. Well is disgusting and very disconnecting. With my rant in mind, are there any idk "throttle modifiers" one gets to have a more linear and responsive throttle? I want that cable feel if possible. The game of guessing i have to do everytime i wanna merge on the highway is annoying. Sometimes you step on it and she start scootin, other times she won't even drop a gear, just lug her way up and takes 2 business days to do it too. I want WOT to literally mean throttle body is ALL the way open and done so right now not 2 seconds from now. TIA.

Funny you should mention throttle control while this conversation is going on simultaneously. Most of the posts I read deal with smooth acceleration and throttle response. I'm sure if you search further you will find similar discussions.

I hated the throttle lag on my JT.

After spending some time researching things like the Pedal Commander and the Banks equivalent, I purchased an EVC throttle controller from Ultimate 9. Great product with some nice features and the ability to test multiple settings to tailor it to your driving style.

I'm glad I purchased it. I can't imagine going back to stock.

IMO, any of the afore mentioned will improve throttle response. Running the Banks Pedal Monster or 2 yrs now and set on CITY with a #2 bump up it's an instant hit, light'um up. BTW, has anyone uncovered a way to 100% shut down the ESS so I can maintain power when hanging it out sideways; damn thing still works even with ESS off.

ESS has ZERO, ZIP, nothing to do with anything.

ESS only has an effect if it shuts the engine off.

Next people will be blaming it for climate change, wars in the Middle East, solar flares, who knows what.

It's a JEEP, it's a TRUCK and you want to spin donuts with it and J-hooks on the street LOL

I think you might have got your abbreviations mixed up...
Are you talking about traction control?

They definitely mean ESC, or stability control.

@DiehardTory press the traction button then press and hold it again for a few seconds.

Ok that makes a lot more sense than ESS..

IT is a TYPO.. ESC Electronic Stability Control. Pushing hard getting sideways is why I went MOJAVE.
Really frustrated with all these safety devices; grew up with 383-440 MOPARS )

Frankly, I'm pretty happy with things like ESC.......... I had my Javelin in Altoona one day, sitting at a stop light I realized too late (the signage wasn't clear and was clear off to one side) that my lane was blocked by construction ahead. In the right lane was a very long line of vehicles.
So when the light turned, I hit the throttle what I considered "moderately"........ the car went sideways and I was really lucky there wasn't anyone RIGHT next to me. A lot of HP and torque for a light-assed car. I immediately found a set of CalTrac bars to put on it to help control the thing under moderate to heave acceleration.
I could have taken out the car beside me.
