Throttle pedal lag

How many of you got the Pedal Monster and use it standalone or with an iDash pod?

Definitely i dash. I don't want to have to pull out my phone to make changes to it. And depending on my mood, that may be often, especially with my teenage boys in the truck! After set up, I don't think I have connected with the app once. Though, I do want to change some of the readings on the screen and that is easier with the app.

Proper fix vs bandaid fix but alas should solve the issue and make it more enjoyable to drive

Banks doesn't build bandaids, they make ointment.

But the epa and Ford made the boo boo. Yes, slamming the throttle open and closed is an emissions no no. Creates lean and rich condition and kills an arctic bird every time you drive.

Standalone. I set it and forget it. Just want that goid old throttle cable control feeling.

I dash is tempting, but sooo much information already available on the truck dash... only thing missing is EGTs, which I'm sure i don't need until i get a bigger trailer.

Peddal monster is simply an adjustable variable resister. Will trick your peddle to give more stroke with less foot.
The lag is the fly by wire. I don’t know of a fix to create the direct linkage type response.

Have you even researched the Pedal Monster? It also increases the speed of the motor and gives you as close to a cable as you're going to find. It's very impressive, much more than a "resister".

I just did the stand alone, I think once you find the feel you like, you would set it and forget it.

Fixed this in my 7.3 with a tune. From factory- my tuner was showing me that putting the pedal the floor only yielded 83% of what was actually available. We turned that up a bit and also made the throttle mapping more linear which solved for that surge in power past 2700 rpm. Worse for mpg? Prob. More enjoyable to drive and more predictable? Absolutely.

I may have missed this, but I wonder if the Pedal Monster is capable of commanding 100% throttle at all times? Waiting for full tuning access (Whipple) but I'd buy a PM as a stop-gap if that was the case.

7.3?


My goal was to get as close to a mechanical throttle a possible.

I don't want more or less than the exact amount I'm asking for, and i want it CONSISTANT!

i want the same response, to the same input, instantly and every time.

Computer trucks drive me crazy, but this SD seems a lot more refined than the F won fiddy was.

Less nannys too.

Honestly not sure! I do know the pedal piece of the tune was finniky. We had to play with a few values to get everything working right but ultimately it drastically changed the driving experience for my right foot lol

Yes. it can.

I'll do standalone then. Don't need EGTs for a naturally aspirated V8

It really helped my Coyote.

If it's half as Good on a Godzilla, you'll be happy.

Prior to install, be sure to make sure your truck is in sleep mode. Open your door and keep the key fob at least 10 feet away per instructions (if you don't leave your door open, you'll have to wait another 10 minutes because opening the door will wake up the truck). It takes 10 minutes for the truck to be asleep as you'll notice the interior lights will go off. If the key fob is too close, there'll still be communication which you don't want.

Same goes for uninstalling it for whatever reason (dealer trip). Wait 10 minutes (key fob away), unplug it, and you're good to go.

Thanks buddy. You and VE have convinced me on Banks. Ordered this morning.

Yes- this. Honestly I forget that a lot.

Ford has fucked me on warranty for lack of better words several times historically so I no longer care lol

Ford fucks us all, some way or another.

I put the fob 20 ft away, opened the door and pushed the button until i saw the taillight screen on the dash.

Didn't wait 10 minutes.

It worked.

Even easier with a real key.

You won’t regret it. It’s a great addition

What brand are all of you using for a pedal commander and do you actually like it? I have a 2024 Tremor and looking to purchase one and just looking for some info and feedback.

 

[Optimus🤖]

There's two main brands: Pedal Commander and Pedal Monster.

Pedal Monster for the win!

And yes, I love it! Just like everyone else who has one.

 

[Velvet Elvis]

Ffff.... pedal commander.
It's a Turkish rip off of the original sprint booster.

Banks looked at both, improved the concept drastically, and made the best one on the market. By far.


Banks or nothing.

 

[Velvet Elvis]

Pardon my enthusiasm.

But please don't put poor quality ricer garbage on a tremor.

I haven't watched that video in a long time.

I had forgotten how funny it was. .
