Has anyone installed anything like this?

I could care less about this specific brand, looking more for feedback on this item in general.

Worth it? Noticeable difference? Have it and wish you did not?

I have the 2019 GMC Sierra AT4, 6.2L.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

I put one of these on my '17 5.3l 6 speed. Easy install, easy to change pedal response. Lots of choices. Fun for a while. Not sure I'd buy it again.

Installing my pedal commander today when I get out of work. I'll post what I think about it afterwards. I was surprised how bad the lag was especially after installing my intake I could hear that delay.

I have one currently on my 19’ LT. I put bigger wheels and tires and power seemed delayed. The pedal commander does help with removing that delay with tons of choices based on how aggressively you drive. I think it is worth the money, although it is a bit expensive. I would recommend if you want a little more pep off the line. Easy way to remove the delay.

I got one on my 19 5.3l RST.  It’s a night and day difference.  I really like it!  You really do have to try the different settings to see what you like though.  One annoyance is the constant downshifting.  For example, if you’re in Sport+ / +4 and at speed already...a slight push of the throttle even say a 1/4inch it’ll downshift and want to take off.  The downshifting gets a bit irritating going uphill cause you’re constantly adjusting speed depending on traffic.  Add a loud exhaust on top of that it gets worse.  However, sport+ / +4 from a stop is incredible LOL.  You gotta find a happy medium between acceleration response and the downshift nuisance.  I have mine on Sport / +1 and it doesn’t downshift as much but I am mindful of the throttle. I could just set it on City and not have the downshift annoyance, but I prefer the acceleration more so it stays on the Sport setting.  I can recommend it.  It’s definitely a better mod than the intake I just installed which costs more than the pedal commander.  If you don’t care about warranty, then just go straight to a tuner.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
