So last week, Mike@solerpreformanceLLC created a thread about trying out his throttle controller. I received one from him today and went out to install it. Super fast shipping and it was packaged extremely well. The first thing I noticed was the size. It was very small, and perfect for me because I don’t like big bulky things on my dash. Nice quality Delphi connectors too. The only thing you need to install it is a small flat head screwdriver. Just use it to pry out the release tab on the gas pedal plug, and just slide it off. Plug in the Y cable provided and then plug it into the small black module. Run the small cable up to your desired location and plug in the small throttle

controller via the lightning plug. I placed it on the left side of my wheel because the cable is on the right hand side of the controller. Followed the directions on calibrating it and then it was done. This is literally a 10 min job.
 

Coming from an 07 silverado with the 5.3, the K2 trucks have that “lag” when you press the gas pedal. It takes a bit to get used to. I first used a paint stick to skim the pedal and take out some of the flex. Helps a little, but not a lot. This controller is a night and day difference!  It has multiple driving modes and it seems to function exactly like a pedal commander would. I went out for a 15 min drive and played with all the modes. It’s cool because you can just change the modes on the fly. I’ll have to do some more long term driving with it, but it’s incredible for the price!  I would highly recommend picking one up to try out.

It is official; our throttle controllers have been successfully tested on all engines and are available now. Combine them with out throttle bodies (6.2L only for now) and let the ECM know who the boss is.

 

Patiently waiting for the staff to restore our vendor status.

I let my buddy drive my truck around last night, since he has a 4x4 5.3 also. He loved it and said he will be ordering one soon.

You come with one of these, for free:

Pedal commanders are a waste of money.  Zero power; adjust what you already come with.

Same reason some upgrade to a 1/6 throttle vs a 1/4 on a sport bike. It makes it more fun to drive. To each his own. I’m just stating that this works, and is a great price for what it does.

dieselfan1, we haven't had any issues yet, they have been running in Corvettes' 7th for about 6 months the longest. We'd like to think that we have debugged for good since we started w/ the first prototype over a year ago.

 

At what point in time do you reckon this other brand starts throwing codes? 

 

Anyway, we offer a 30-day no questions asked full refund + return shipping, followed by 11-month replacement warranty.

We have similar products for those looking to add power as well, check our modified throttle bodies. Thanks.

Pedal Commander user here: Mine threw codes as i went into sport and sport + modes.

Throttle positioning sensor malfunction was the code i believe.

 

I had to send it back and they ended up doing a software update on it and resolder some loose wires, could have been an isolated issue with my unit.

Since i got it back it has been working great. Im sure this product work equally as well, yours look cooler though lol

 

For those who say these are crap and snake oil and so on.. cant speak till you try thats all i have to say.

Amen, Ozer.

 

You guys should try it, you can return it for a full refund and pre-paid shipping if you don't think they are worth it.

 

Combine them with our Modified throttle Bodies and the effects magnify, this time with real power.

 

This mod is hard to beat dollar for dollar.

 

Thanks,

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By Atlas · Posted

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am really glad I found this post and this site... We have a 2022 1500 refresh LTZ that has these problems: - forward collision avoidance warning light - lane keep assist unavailable - adaptive cruise control unavailable   The truck was bought as a new leftover in 2023, so it was still under the 3/36 B to B when it went in for these problems earlier this year. It has been at the dealer on and off now for about 110 days now. These are some of the things they have done that I can read on the service tickets. - replace/add ground straps (4) - check all battery cables and vlts - replace serial data gateway module - replace front view camera - numerous reprogramming - a few calibrations (apparently ending with 'learned') Last week when I had it back the truck had those 3 warnings every time we used it except for 3 times. On three separate occasions the truck started and ran perfectly with no (zero) warning messages or warning lights lit - everything worked perfectly. Over that same time period the truck did not work on every other 'key' cycle which I would estimate at 60+ cycles. On those estimated 57 cycles it had the same 3 problems each and every time.   It is back at the dealer now - can anyone help at all with what the true problem might be?  Or possibly what can be ruled out leaving a lower number of possibilities? Thank you very much for any help you may be able to supply....

      As for the step bars, friend did just that, bought some cheap ones and we are in Michigan and they turned to rust in less than a year.  In 3 yrs he had to replace one of them because they rusted out from the inside even though he kept after them cleaning and polishing etc. Had to drive 300 miles (to Chicago area) to find a reg cab wt, he ordered one and dealer never got it and with winter approaching (plow truck) he needed fo find one ASAP.  Furd dealer found him one but he choose to drive to get a GMC.    Just what you can expect with cheap stuff, LOW quality.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve seen many times people over buy to start a business. Instead of quality equipment they buy junk and drive an expensive truck. Our first haul truck was a 2 ton wrecker with 6 cylinder to haul our equipment. It would go 60 miles per hour flat out. Our trucks were older trucks we could work on easily. Our equipment was first class that we could work without fear of breaking down. You could always use large trash bags to wrap for water proofing. Put the money where the return is. Comfort and luxury comes with success. Good luck in your venture.

      Thank you, it looks like I have to get a topper or a box van.  Unfortunately, the only vans that can tow what I am looking for are going to be 3/4 ton vans, which may ride rough if I am going to use this on the road extensively.  I may also use it to take marketing clients out on the road.   Not knowing anything about starting a business, my goal is to start small, use things I already have & keep everything in good working order.  I have a small box trailer, need to install lights in it, and same for the topper itself.   How easy does Chevy/GMC make our trucks to upfit if we decide to add things like a topper and lights?  On Fords, the upfit process was rather easy.  Just tie the +12V of the lights to the AUX relay panel and the - to chassis Ground.
