Dead throttle response 2005 ram 1500 5.7 Hemi

[Leebert2005]

I am sure this has been beaten to death on this site, however I am a newbie here and I don't know how to navigate it yet, well that being said I would like to know what fixes are avail for the above problem. I was up in the hills a few weeks ago and was dealing with that damn dead response, I was manually downshifting and I really don't care to do that. I needed more power. A friend told me of an electronic device that takes care of that situation, however it is for the newer dodges with computer type throttle. Mine being a 2005 does not fall into that category. I would like something that eliminates the dead spots and also ups the hp some. Hope someone has an idea for me. thanks in advance.

Leebert2005, you have one of the newer computer type throttles (more commonly called a drive by wire system) and your friend is probably talking about "Throttle Commander" or something similar. Regardless of that, IF you are having throttle issues, check your contacts on the pedal and throttle, it's likely that they are worn. If that is the case, you can either try cleaning them up (may or may not work) or replacing them. I don't know if Dodge has a limp mode when the points on the throttle/pedal are failing, but I do know that GM's have this feature to prevent you from damaging the engine.

Sorry, I meant "Pedal Commander" not Throttle Commander. Thank you for the correction Pull Ya.

Pedal Commander would help for sure. I dont have it currently listed on our site at the moment.

I am finding nothing in the mentioned brands suggested that will fit my 2005, so here is a new question.

I have been searching for a tuner similar to Pedal commander, of Wind boost for fix for dead pedal. I have yet to find anything that will fit that year. Does anyone out there have an 05 or earlier model that they were able to find something that will work for this year. Thanks again
