Just ordered a Pedal Commander just had a few questions. After hook up and has been in the truck for a while if I was to go to trade this truck and I take it out will it go back to the way it was before I install the pedal commander?

Yes, immediately. It doesn't reprogram the computer, just alters an algorithm while it's connected and in use.

Absolutely yes.
I just took my truck to the dealer this morning for my 2nd oil change,(19 classic with 5600 miles on truck) from one of my package oil changes.
Pulled into home depot parking lot, removed pedal commander, alphaobd bypass cable and pulsar. Took probably 20 minutes, 15 which was pcm removal and reinstall due to I left the air filter box in place.
Dealer connected their gizmo to obd port, changed oil and right back to home depot and reinstalled everything I had removed

That's interesting. Does your dealer give you a hard time about the PC? I ask because mine doesn't, and it's mounted in an obvious spot.

No but I just pull it out to not create any issues.
I pull it from its holder but leave the holder stuck to the dash above the keyhole. Takes a whoppin 2 minutes
I never asked them about it, just pull it

Gotcha, just curious. I did that the first time and then I forgot the next time (lol) and they didn't say anything so I stopped.

The little RED tab came out of mine when I installed it... I hope I have some way of disconnecting it... If not, NO SWEAT, cuz when you turn it OFF your truck goes back to normal.

City+2 is perfect for me for everyday

I just turned mine off & tucked it up under the dash when I went through inspection last month.
Got my good sticker, pulled out and put it back on Sport2.
