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  ?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
