Let's talk throttle controllers!

Anyone running one? Is it worth it, any pros and cons of the different brands? I've seen some things about pedal commander causing codes, want to avoid problems like that if I do get one.

I've got the Pedal Commander, Can't compare to anything else as I've never used another one. I have installed 4 others since I've gotten mine and no one else besides me threw a code and after reading the actual directions (I know, go figure) I've thrown no codes and i'm very pleased with how well it works.

The PC offers tons of options that suits your driving. As long as you don’t make adjustments while driving you shouldn’t have a problem. I have one and love it.

However, I was thinking about getting a tuner for a little more money. Decided to go with the PC because it’s easy on and off.

Hope that helps

did you mount it so that the buttons are accessible or do you change modes with Bluetooth? Do you need to remove the knee bolster to plug it in? I haven’t looke that closely down there.

I mounted it under the dash, there is a flat piece of steel that I Velcro'd it to, I've never even looked at it once it was installed, anytime I want to change a setting I use my phone / Bluetooth. You do not need to remove anything to mount it.

I got a pedal commander on my 19 5.3l RST. It’s a night and day difference. I really like it! No codes...you can switch modes while driving but just make sure you are NOT switching modes when you are pressing the gas pedal. I advise not to use the Bluetooth since there’s a lot of people having issues with it. I’ve never used it. If you get a pedal commander, 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. Every mode besides ECO is an improvement from stock. 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.
