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.

 

 

Do you use it in addition to Sport Mode? Or does it essentially "replace" Sport Mode?

 

Are the Normal / Sport / Offroad Modes effective when this is installed or do they do nothing when engaged?

 

Also, I did see some posts about voiding warranty, which I am sure is the case. Has anyone experienced long term engine issues from these?

Website link does not come up. The correct one is www.vitesse-motorsports.com     The "S" must be at the end

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 have used it for a total of 30 min of driving, I just got it yesterday. So I can't really answer your questions. I did not use it with Sport mode but I would as Sport mode does things this will not (tighter steering etc).

 

As for warranty. It took 5 min (or less) to install. If I ever took my tuck in for any service I would pull it out. It does not (actually can't) write to or re-program your ECU so there would be no record of it even having been installed.

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.  

Takes less than 5-minutes to remove before going into dealer, they would never know you had one installed. 

 

I don't have one on my Silverado yet, but had one on my ZR2 Colorado and liked it a lot.

It doesn't work on our trucks.  Only up to 2018

Whoops, sorry.  I did a search for throttle controllers and this thread came up.  I didn't realize there was a post 2018 forum.

Just installed the Banks Pedal Monster. $295 delivered FedEx 2nd Day. Just what I was looking for to get rid of that sponge pedal. 15 minute hookup and ready to go (also have the idash installed) Set on city about 6 bars, instant response. With the safety features don't waste your $$$ on anything else.793109e273b9282c1050cfd136f9ca68.jpg

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
