Well...today I put some miles on her with the wife to get a better feel for the Hellwig. It makes a HUGE difference and happy I got it. Now I can go around curves at 70mph like in my Audi and the truck remains planted on the ground...who needs a sports car now :)
What setting did you install on (sorry if you said it and I missed it)

I thought I'd go with the middle setting first. Actually liking where it's at, but I may try the inner most setting just to see what it does differently in a month or so.

Did you order your Pedal Commander too?
So what's the story on these things, I've never had one. Typically tune but with needing to swap stuff out a bit wary. So I see everyone running some version of these throttle controllers but there are like 8 different units?? Any input guys?

well, I pulled the trigger, will likely start in the middle too. This truck is a fun, but expensive, hobby.

You will find that the RAM has BAD accelerator lag. This device adjusts the throttle sensitivity and makes the truck FUN to drive. It has 32 settings to choose from. I would never have a truck without one! 5-minute install (or less) and will put a BIG smile on your face!

Got that part from what ive read, just hit 400 miles today so haven't got on her too much as of yet. So you recommend the pedal commander? Tons of different units definitely confusing

Until the next mod my friends! There will always be another :D
No no no! Just ceramic tint next week, then I’m done...
No, really...
Maybe a pedal commander, eventually. But I’m definitely not getting cool wheels and tires... no way... at least not until my tires wear out... some.
But then I’m definitely done!

I like the design of the PC and that it can be controlled via BT so you can bury the controller anywhere you want. The Sprint Booster is also a nice unit. I just prefer the PC myself. In the end, they will all do the exact same thing.

No I haven't. I'm not sure on the PC or the PedalMonster. I have the SprintBooster for JGC but don't want to get that again.

Oh ya..already lined up the Ceramic Tint for the front window and my firelight bar for the front windshield.

The Bank's units appears a bit "overkill" for most I think.
