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?

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.

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.
