Well, I got my pedal commander in today. Pretty impressive. Found out that in the sport plus, it uh... feels like it wants to peel the tread off so I think I just have it on the next one down, the plain sport on the +2 or so.

What all do you guys’ run y’all’s at?

Btw, mine’s a 1500 Hemi 8-speed.

So what’s the possibility of the PCM learning something’s different with the throttle circuit and uh, dialing it back? Are there any known issues I outta know about with this?

well it depends on lots of variables but most of the time I'm in sport 2

I like the eco mode too when in 4 low in the trail, you have much more control.

I keep mine on City +3. Seems to be a good daily driving setting for me...nice responsiveness but with control.

Usually sport 2 but recently dialed back to city + 3. Less jumpy on starts and good all around feel

I like Sport+ at -2 with the DS "eco" canned tune. It acts just like Sport +2 with the DS "87 Octane" tune and I get slightly better mileage.

I’m just curious but what’s the purpose of the - 1 through 4/ + 1 though 4 on each mode?

Wouldn’t like, Sport+ on minus 2 be comparably the same as Sport plus 2?

I've only had my Pedal Comander on for about a week so still playing with it , but found between sport -2 & sport 1+ feels best to me......

Usually City 4 - Sport 2 for me under ideal driving conditions (no rain, snow, etc) but I usually dial down to City 1 in heavy rains.

I’m glad y’all reminded me about dialing this thing down for wet and for especially slick roads. Lol.
