How to desensitize throttle pedal?

[dearmosd]

I see gadgets to increase throttle response but is there a gadget to decrease pedal response, I fell from a dead stop or slow speeds the pedal is a little sensitive and make it feel like I am applying more throttle then I would like. It takes me certain effort to apply pressure to the pedal drastically slow to avoid taking off and making it seem like I am in a rush.

Or is this the nature of the Ram setup?

I'm surprised as the lag sucks on Mopar vehicles. You can use the same throttle controllers to turn it down as well. If you bought used, maybe someone already put one on the truck. I would look at your pedal connection to see if there is one hidden.

It learns how you use it. You could reset it by disconnecting the battery for 30 mins then let it relearn. You will need up give it 6 hours for all functions to come back.

Or get a Pedal Commander. You can actually select "less" sensitive profiles.

I am the second owner and was curious if someone modify it because it is really sensitive, so sensitive to the point where the wife drives the truck I am embarrassed as it looks like she is trying to hot rod around the neighbothood.

As others mentioned, the same throttle controllers they use to increase sensitivity,.can also be used to reduce it. The Pulsar on economy mode does this, and I actually got 1.5mpg increase using economy mode when I had stock tires and suspension.

Definitely check the pedal connection. They are not that sensitive from factory.

Also make sure the auto stop/start isn't causing the problem. I turn mine off every time I start the truck.

Gears could also be a factor if you have the 3.92. I test drove one and it was very quick to accelerate. The one I bought has 3.21 and is more subtle.

Sounds like the previous owner installed a pedal controller based on this comment.

Have you considered that she might be flooring it on purpose? Don't be fooled by the oops face

My wife did that on her first drive. The first was an 'oops'. Second time I saw her smiling.

I seem to always launch from a stop light due to the lag in the throttle response. The lack of movement when gassing it mentally tells me to give it more gas. At that point, it responds and I'm pulling away from everyone else. I think it's the lag causing you to apply more pressure.
