Ordered mine already! Seen this floating around on various portions of the forum. I used a Vitesse throttle controller on my tuned 2012 camaro ss. It was in conjunction with a full tune and still was needed. I'm happy this peddle commander is available for the Mopar crowd. I was pretty bummed when the vitesse was only for the camaro, vettesand cadillacs. So I wanna thank everyone for pointing me in the right direction on this product! It was much appreciated! Should be here this week!

Perfect, please let us know once installed how you feel about it. I'm still stuck on " silly grin on my face " mode. :)

Can't wait to try this out, over the last years i've tried about every bolton to get the response up on my '12 1500.

added, diablo, moes 85mm, vararam and corsa to the truck now and still the response is not there.
I hope that this box does as advertised (plenty of good reviews but still wont get my hopes up until i try it out)

i know its apples to oranges but oddly my '15 reg cab has a much more sensitive accelerator (maybe its the lighter weight and 3.92's) will try the pedal commander on both and see if its up to the hype!

It seems like the pedal commander is something like the drive button some vehicles have, but better. The drive button only has eco, normal, and, sport.

Let us know how the tuner and pedal commander combo works out.

Someone posted a review of the PC on the 6.4 in the HD section. Said it was a great increase in throttle response.

I will also be ordering this for my new 2500 6.4. And I keep telling myself to stop spending money on ****!

I went ahead and ordered one with the coupon code this morning. Will report back after I install. Will be running alongside my tune.

Maybe it was stated already...

So you have to reset it everytime you turn the truck on?

Like it will start in the off position and you have to turn it on OR when you get back in the truck, it will pick up where you last drove it, example, sport +3?

The video said there Are no presets...not sure if it was updated to save your settings or not.

To clear up a few confusions I have seen on the interwebs about the Pedal Commander:
1. There are really 9 settings for each of the 4 modes, 0 or normal for that mode, +1 through +4; and -1 through -4.
2. It maintains your last setting on engine off for the next restart.
3. It REALLY does make a difference.

I have had tuners before on previous vehicles and always wondered if the ECU was relearning over the tune. That can't happen with this.

It really does work! I installed it earlier today and this woke the truck up. I have mine set on sport, at the middle setting and love it.
Makes me wonder what this would feel like if I tuned the truck?????
