Updated GM Accelerator Pedal Part Helped With Acceleration and Shifting

[papageoff]

nope

If you say so, it must be true.

I have a 2015 CC 5.3 with pedal # 23362231. I've had the truck programed by Black Bear, and the pedal still feels sluggish. Probably the sluggish feeling pedal of any vehicle I've ever owned. My 2014 4.3 pedal felt similar. It's been about my only complaint with the truck. Black Bear tune helped with it, and with the tranny shifting, but not as much as I had hoped for. I guess it's just the nature of the beast(our trucks).

I spoke to my parts guy at my local gm dealer. He said the pedals have to be programmed. So what you guys with the new pedals are feeling may just be the symptom of an I programmed pedal. Possibly the trans shifting a little firmer from the pedal not correlating correctly. He also mentioned that there may be an updated reprogram for the pedal. Im calling today to find out.

I still havnt had a chance to call. I have to talk to a service manager about the reprogramming. My parts guy told me the pedals needed to be programmed. So I’m thinking that it’s just a non programmed pedal people are feeling. And how it feels better. I could be wrong

It's true a pot wouldn't need programming, but the computer may need to be recalibrated to the resistance arc on the pot. No two are ever perfectly equal.

No programming required on replacing the accelerator pedal on these K2 trucks.  Plug and play replacement.  Verified right from GM service procedure.

Ok. Sounds even better. I was just passing along info from my parts guy.

I have a 2015 Sierra z71 CC and it seems to have the old 20972082
Was manufacturered 4/15
Bought dec 15 brand new

So I’m assuming I need to hunt a gas pedal. Been playing with the idea of taking to a shop to have a guy tune it good to see i could make the accel better. Interesting read

I have had the new pedal installed for a few weeks now and I am still noticing a positive difference. It is still not perfect but much better than the old pedal. I would give it a try for anyone that has the old design. Thanks to the OP for looking into this and posting his results. Much happier with my truck now. Its a 14 Sierra AT CC SB 6.2.

My Pedal was just replaced by the dealer in my 2016 with the updated part.  The lag is 98% gone.

 

Only under a hard braking and fast back to the throttle I can feel it a bit but no 1-2-3 second dead spot.  More like half a second dead spot.

 

Not sure what they changed but this pedal seems to send signals faster.

 

As for acceleration I see no difference through the gears it still will not spin the rears lol...

[Brews02ws6]

So I just replaced my pedal and the dash says "engine power reduced"...great! This is just with the truck still in the garage and key switched on for lighting. Anybody else get that message after swapping?

 

edit: after driving, the engine light is on, but no message. Driving seems fine but I just went around the block. I'll probbapy swap back until I get more info.

Brews,

 

Sorry to hear of your trouble. I looked up the part number for your '14 and, regardless of whether you have a V6 or V8, it lists 23362231 as the correct pedal for your truck. Perhaps you have a bent pin or just a defective part?

 

 

[Brews02ws6]

I doubt anything is bent, because swapping back to the factory pedal makes the light go away. I also disconnected the battery for a bit and that didn't solve it. I'll give it a couple days I guess and then try to return it 

 

edit: Oh, mine is the 5.3.

This is eye opening and quite upset I'm so late to reading all this. Amazon got them in stock for 53 bucks. Well worth a shot. I have a 2014 Sierra 5.3 with adjustable petal, I've read plenty about the wood trick and all. I've always said this truck is god awful slow for acceleration time. I go in my girlfriend's newer v6 Grand Cherokee and it's like a ROCKETSHIP compared to my truck. This is WELL worth a shot. I checked and I have the older part number. Not alot of flex to it but I think I'm going to give this a go as well.

Sounds good. This seems like a reasonably affordable "fix" for the throttle lag if it works.

Then I can throw my paint stick into the campfire LOL

I've never actually did the paint stick trick. But my 2014 always had that lag. I have adjustable pedals. But I can literally press the throttle down half inch almost before be revs. I've driven a 2017 and it felt exactly what I wish mine did. Fingers cross this does the trick
