Any more updates on this for the 2019’s? Those that have purchased, are you still glad you did?

I have one on my AT4 and really like it. Totally different truck with it on there.

I have one on my 17 Sierra, definitely makes in more responsive and you can dial in how much response you want. They have great customer service also. My controller was all scratched so I emailed them

Not sure if I'd want a better response. The Ford F-150 had really mushy gas pedals which I got very used to then drove my friend's 707-hp Dodge Hellcat. I hit the gas pedal and the rear tires smoked f

I imagine they work well.

Made my own custom pedal commander on my '16 from a paint stirrer stick. Seems on the previous gen there was about 1/4" play between the plastic pedal bracket and the firewall; movement would bog down when the pedal was first pressed until it contacted the firewall. Many posts on this forum praised the paint stick - but it made a big difference in response -sorry I waited a year before trying it.

 

The '19s fixed the bracket problem but the difference in adding a pedal commander appears to provide a similar faster pedal response.

Has anyone installed a Pedal Commander whose truck has the clunky 8 speed when shifting between 1st/2nd?  I'm interested in installing it, but I already have to somewhat baby the throttle to minimize the clunk effect, which would defeat the purpose of spending $260.

 

I realize what the PC does, so I know it won't make my issue go away, I just wouldn't want to spend $250 to make it worse (or at least "feel" worse).

 

I am thinking of ordering with the intent of returning within 30 days if I cannot reap any benefits.

 

Just looking to see if anyone else has come across a similar issue.

Same issue here, very annoyed by it... now, I start my truck remotely as I walk towards it. Warms up the transmission and it gets a lot smoother when I drive it away.

I installed the peddle commander on my 2020 3500 Duramax and wow what a difference. It really woke it up! No lag and crisp shifts through that 10 speed transmission.

Ive read that it doesnt add hp or torque but better throttle response. If your truck is equipped with sport mode then I think this is a waste of ?

Sport mode equipped truck is a waste of sport mode in a truck. I have it and feel no difference in daily start up mode to sport.

It does not add any hp or torque but the added throttle response is night and day different on my duramax.

I got it yesterday and I installed it right away, it took 5 min and it was done. It was commented above that if you have sport mode this is a waste of money. I have sport mode and WOW, night and day difference. Sport mode does not come close. Glad I bought it, gives a nice KICK when you want it.

They do make pedal response feel great, no doubt.  Be aware though, GM issued TSB #13-08-116-001E: AFTERMARKET ALDL OR DLC INTERFACE DEVICES CAUSING MULTIPLE ISSUES.  Basically is states that if any aftermarket ALDL connector device is installed and causes problems or is detected at the dealership then it will be entered into your warranty as "suspected tampering" IE VOIDED WARRANTY.  

 

Can this happen?  Absolutely.  Recently bought my wife a 2017 Tahoe with low miles, it went in to limp mode a week or so after we bought it and left my wife and kids stuck.  I brought it to my shop and discovered it had a pedal commander (which I was unaware of) that had caused communication issues.  Fortunately the fix for me was simply to remove it, and clear the codes.  Had it been ran through the dealer, there would be a risk of voided warranty.  

 

Also, I had a Hypertech on my 2019 Silverado for tire size correction.  I had intermittent communication failures that almost mirrored the description in the TSB perfectly, which left me stranded three times.  After removing the device, truck is back to normal.  Again, had that made it to the dealership, my truck would be flagged for suspected tampering.  

I don't like it, t just making ya'll aware.  I am batting 0/2 with ALDL devices.

I can't afford "Made in America" with all the tariffs Trump is imposing on Canada  ?

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
