Throttle commander.... not!

[DanJT]

So my interested on the Petal Commander and its ability to increase the to the response. BUT!!! I wasn't about to spend up to almost $400 on this endeavor
So... I did research and found this little much cheaper throttle . It has seriously upgraded my throttle and to be honest, I have to be careful on take offs so not to
spin the tires when taking off in a hurry when trying to pull out in traffic.

Here is the link to the 9-drive product and the easy to do install.
Amazon.com: YIBEICO Throttle Response Controller, 9 Drive 9-Mode Smart Electronic Racing Pedal Accelerator for Dodge RAM 1500 New Body Style Wrangler JL Gladiator JT NISSAN Titan Trucks Chevrolet(809) : Automotive

easy peasy... Unlock factory lock pull up the factory latch ( accelerator sensor) lock factory into new slot where factory slot is, push new latch down and lock it. plug controller in and place it where you want. But.......... Make sure to disconnect Pos (+) or neg(_) battery post before beginning this Mod

Good luck. I would never trust a cheaper device like that to essentially play middle man with the throttle pedal. Throttle controllers have been known to cause hell on a 5 volt Canbus system and throw these in to limp mode without warning. Banks is the only throttle controller that has a fail safe. But ECU tune is the truely safest and most reliable way. Just expensive.

I have read plenty of reviews on both sides. And the PC came in second to the 9-drive.
It diffidently works wonders for my little 3.6.

I also would never trust those. I had a pedal commander on my truck and it had tons of issue and caused the truck to go into limp mode as it pulls its power from the throttle signal. Switched to the Banks Pedal Monster which pulls from the OBDII port and can identify your vehicle and has reverse safety mode that puts it back into stock config when reversing.

I have a Hike It throttle kit installed for 5 years now and have never had any problems with it .

I wouldn't be opposed to upgrading to a Pedal Monster at some point (to get the digital gauge and tie my tank air pressure into it), but anecdotally: I've had a Pedal Commander installed for 5 years with no issues.

Also, using "iDash Integration" as a comparison is certainly a choice.

Serious question, though: Pedal Commander added CarPlay support and I can now literally change/adjust from my screen in real-time. Does Banks have this?

As far as I know there is no carplay or android auto support but I have also never looked at changing the settings while driving. I have the settings I like for Daily Driving and then I turn everything off when I go rock crawling. I can't say that I have really tried adjusting any of the settings on the fly while driving.

All I can say is that I put mine in the highest setting (Race P 3-9) and it is honestly hard to take of without The back tires breaking Loose. I think I'll keep it mid sport mode. Although you still have to be careful when taking off.

I have the Pedal Monster along with the iDash gauge. I've played around with different settings and found that Sport 5 is about perfect for the diesel.

That's where I am running mine.
