....and I know, it’s a “placebo effect” or whatever you want to call it....but DAMN! This makes driving the Ram even more fun than it already was.

It’s more than “mash the throttle down faster”......a lot more. This thing has become a beast with it. The Sport + setting (at 3) literally had me leaving rubber in the driveway.

I have no desire to build a 700hp torquemonster. Been there and done that with my 700+hp Nissan Titan. LOL. I just wanted this to be a little more fun to drive and the $300 I spent on the PC was worth every penny so far.

Next up....the Vararam cold air intake......

That’s exactly how I got my Titan back then. A guy built the beast- had almost 25k in receipts for the extras plus the price of the truck- but he ended up losing his local job and having to commute like 125 miles round trip a day so he traded it in for a Maxima. The truck was a 2005- I got it in September of 2007 after watching it on the Nissan dealers lot for 3 months. Ended up paying a whopping $24500 for it. LOL (of course, super unleaded was like $5 a gallon then.....but still. Totally worth it)

Does the pedal commander have any settings that might HELP gas mileage? Or is it all hammer time over stock? Heard a mechanic say that they can improve gas consumption

Yes. Economy and city are both supposed to help.

It does have an ECO mode but honestly fuel savings is not the point of the Pedal Commander. However I will say we do have some customers reporting that in city and lower sport modes they are getting slightly better mpg with the PC. The added throttle response alone is worth the price of admission for the Pedal Commander!

It may help with fuel economy but can't say anyone ever uses those modes. I know mine has never been in anything but sport or sport+. Fun factor out weighs the fuel bills to me.

Ok...ok....I think I might have to pull the trigger on one of these then. Thanks for the replies. Nick, I'll be in touch
