Comparing spark plugs that do nothing (or actually perform worse) to the PC that changes the drivability of the truck isn't really a good comparison.

Buy one first then come back and share your opinion. If you don't like it, return it within 30 days for free.

In other words, put your money where your mouth is.
I’m new here and a new Ram owner. I bought the Pedal Commander even before I brought the truck home! What a difference it makes! No more sluggish throttle response! The best part is the ability to easily change the settings to suit your needs or even the weather. Wet roads and sport mode can be a bit TOO thrilling sometimes! Lol

I put one on my 2017 Ram 1500 Express and the difference is night and day from stock! I can’t see anyone not loving this device and after having on it I could never go back!

Thanks- I'll check that. I would think that when it has the eco light it should function.
I need to say WOW! Took it for a test drive and its like a different truck. This thing screams compared to what it was before the PC. It has to be the most cost efficient performance mod out there.
I agree 100%!!!

Hey Nick, do you know if they changed the pedal for the 19 Durango? We kept hers from her Jeep, but I haven't crawled up under her dash yet.

If the one from the Jeep is a PC31 which it probably is it should work on the new Durango. BTW congrats on the new vehicle. I love those!

It is PC31. I didn't think anything changed on the 19 Durango RT but just checking. Thanks

This may have been brought up already, but has anyone tried the Vitesse Throttle Controller? Same principal as the Throttle Commander but a little less expensive. I used the Vitesse on my SS Camaro and I loved it. It looks like they are now making a throttle controller for the 4th Gen Ram with the Hemi.

The phone app works well. You hold your phone in your right hand and use the corner of the phone to turn the Viyesse's knob...:D

Bumping this back up. To those that have been running a PC for a few years now, have you had any issues?

I bought a used PC on eBay and it will be here today sometime. I have been checking the shipping progress every 2 hours for 3 days now LOL.

About two years for me - no issues, but I still don't even have it turned on much.

Thats good to hear. I plan on installing mine in the drawer under the radio so its hidden and out of the harsh Florida sunshine.

Mine was delivered today while I was sleeping (I'm a shift worker) and I seriously contemplated installing it before I left for work. But I decided to wait until after work because I didn't want to risk being late. I was late anyways due to traffic.

Now I'm counting down the hours until I can get home and play with my new toy LOL.

Follow the directions about keeping the keys away from the truck when installing.
Not doing this is why people get a CEL.

So I installed the PC on Friday the 28th. And its OK? It definitely helps with the throttle response but I guess I was expecting more? I have it set on Sport +2 as anything higher makes the throttle very jumpy and difficult to drive smoothly. I just have to breathe on the accelerator pedal now and the truck downshifts. I haven't fully matted the pedal yet. I don't know how you guys get better fuel economy with the PC; mine has taken a nosedive. But that is 100% on the operator LOL
