What is that? What does it do?
It is similar to the pedal commander. Reduces lag in throttle response with the drive by wire system. Has several settings to find what you like best. I did install today but it was raining so hard to judge today. In sport mode it kept breaking the back tires free.

Curious...why did you not get the Pedal Commander?
Chose the sprint booster as I have used the product in the past. I know the company that sells it up here in Canada and got a really good price. Also two week trial if I don’t like it I can return it. What are your thoughts. Don’t really know much about the pedal commander.

I have a sprint booster on my 12 ram 6.7 and I am happy with it. I think the sprint’s controller looks way better than the pedal commanders. Where did you get yours if you don’t mind. Thx

Just Google Pedal Commander. Everyone that has one loves it and there have been three Forum Group Buys already based on its popularity so I am very surprised you never heard of it if your use read this forum. I, personally, don't care about looks as mine is out of sight anyway.

I purchased mine from JRP motor sports in Mississauga Ontario. They also sell Sonax detailing products that are pretty awesome.

Added the AMP Research Power Step Override Switch and mounted it below the pedal adjustment controls. Since the AMP Power Steps use the existing OBD-II plug I also added and mounted the AMP OBD-II Pass Thru Harness.

Can you take a few other pictures? I also have the AMP powersteps, but I can see the cable coming through from the OBD-II plug. The cable is ***-backwards where it sticks out towards the driver, it's not bad... but still noticeable. Being a tech junkie that routes all my cables perfectly, it's a sore eye.

Does the harness go behind there and allows a 2nd OBD-II plug as if it's not there? If so, how hard is that to install? I had 4WP do my steps because it was free installation.

Deriggs007 - not being a tech junkie, I'm not sure what you mean nor am I worried about about being backwards. The harness is plug and play. One end goes into your existing OBD-II which I tucked under the dash and the other to the AMP Steps which is also tucked away under the dash. That leaves you an OBD-II to mount how you want. Since it is also under the dash, you only see it if you look under the dash. Here is a picture of the of it without and with a scanner cable attached.

What I’m saying is that on your pics you can’t see the amp harness plugged into the obd port

On mine it’s noticeable and the cable sticks out towards the driver

I’m hoping what you have cleans up the eye site of the default way these were connected

Here’s a pic of mine

If you remove 2 bolts, the panel under the steering wheel pops off. This will give you easy access to the factory OBD-II mounting spot. I removed the factory OBD-II from it's mount, rerouted the cables and reattached it up out of the way under the dash. I then did some plastic trimming to both the bypass OBD-II unit and factory mount location to mount the bypass unit.
