I finally pulled the trigger on one. It took longer to tie up the wires than to install it. It came out of the box at 2-6. I dropped it to 2-5 and what a DIFFERENCE. It really woke the truck up. I may try 3-? out sometime but right now I'm happy with the current setting. Why didn't I get this sooner?

Totally agree, totally worth the $60ish I paid
Set at max 3.9 since day one
Definitely one on the most favourite things

whats the difference between the $60 one and the $200 one? is this the same thing basically as a pedal commander?

Same, less expensive and has yet to throw a code unlike my PC. I figured at the price I could just toss it away if it didn’t work, thing works like a champ. Several buddies have purchased them now.

I bought one about a year ago mine is called Roar and a little higher in price. Be prepared for the one's that know your truck better than you and say it doesn't make a difference. I laugh every time people say it doesn't make a difference. I "know" my truck isn't faster, just don't tell the seat of my pants and the inside of my head that, there's a lunatic in there! Lol

The other day I put it back to stock because it was raining out and the roads were slick. It felt like I had an anchor holding my truck back.
I run p3-9 when its not raining. Eco 1 really seems to work well in the rain. I had to try it out yesterday.

I had a 9 drive in my truck for about a month. Then one day leaving the jobsite lightning bolt and check engine light came on and the truck would would rev by itself from 800-1500rpm. Only had 3 blocks to go to the hotel so when I knew I had to stop I put it in neutral. Took it out at the hotel and cleared the codes. When I got home at the end of the week left it in the shed and thats where mine sits. It was great when it worked but with my wife driving the truck every so often I don't trust it enough to have it.

just installed mine. took all of 3 minutes. initial trip around the block shows you can really tell the difference in the modes. in eco mode you have to really mash the pedal to get it to go. in race mode, throttle reaction is quick and snappy.

thanks for the heads up on this!
