I don’t have one and don’t plan on getting one.

You should. It really makes the truck easier to drive and less stress on your joints. It’s not all about using it for speed. On the right setting it can help fuel mileage and take less effort to get going. JMHO

I like the idea of it. Dumb question though, what does it do to your gas mileage? Obviously, it is driving habit dependent. But is there any other adverse effect on gas mileage? I already don't get the advertised mileage.
It didn't affect my mileage one way or the other (I don't use the Eco mode). What does affect my mpg is keeping my rpm's a bit above 2000 with the gear buttons. But, that's a topic for a different thread.

If ya don’t have a Pedal Commander your not in the cool kids club. It’ll make ya smile! Warning::::::::: Whiplash possible

Definitely this with the whiplash until you find the right setting to match your driving style. Will also most likely cause your rear tires to lose grip on dry pavement by complete accident. Oops.

That's the biggest issue - matching it to driving style. Just for S&G this morning, I set it to Sport. Could hardly get out of the gravel driveway without spinning tires. Made it to the main road, then put in into City mode and drove the rest of the way into work. All I can say is meh. Once I adjust to it, I drive the same and just press the pedal less. Again, does what it says but too much money for my use.

I love PC-I could instantly feel difference-for the cost, I think it’s worth it. I was using city plus 2 but recently went up to city plus 3 and maybe it’s me, but I swear it was like driving a different truck. I recommend it, for 200-250, worth the investment-from my understanding, it will throw a code if you shift between eco, city, sport, sport plus while driving but you can go up four or down four in those settings and are find, though I typically don’t just to be safe, I only change when in park.

Get her something nice too lol

Your RAM would use the PC31 listed here

Make sure to use discount code PC5 to get a discount and FREE shipping!

Thank you! I will need to order her a drop in air filter for her 2018 Dodge Charger V6. She had the engine replaced about a month ago. They replaced the drop in with a factory when they changed the engine. She said it seems sluggish with the new engine and factory air filter since she got it back.

We can help you out with that. I recommend an AEM panel filter, unless you want to explore options for cold air intakes?

Was actually meant to be completely sarcastic. Its good to see this forum also has its fair share of internet tough guy warriors who know best. I bow down to your greatness.
Geez...that didn't require an explanation. Some people are really slow!

I thought about a CAI, as long as it's not as much of a pain to install as the S&B was on my truck!

We have some really nice options from Airaid. One is a full CAI, the other replaces the panel filter housing with a larger conical filter and a nice heat shield. Basically same as the CAI but without the pipe going to the throttle body.

Message me if you would like to go over pricing
