JMS PedalMAX...

[edehosse]

Recently installed a PedalMax on my 2019 Bighorn, and so far I'm less than impressed with the results. Maybe I mis-understood how it functions, but my main reason for installing was to get rid of the 1/2-1 second delay when pressing the accelerator. Seems as if the PM does nothing to address that, but basically only adjusts how rapidly the throttle body opens afterwards. Have others experienced similar results? Is there another option available that does a better job of addressing the initial lag?

All the folks that I’ve dealt with either do The Pedal Commander or Sprint Booster.

Hi
I have a 2020 ram 1500 DT and I just put the pedal commander in
Quite easy install ( just make sure to follow directions)
Definitely makes a difference on throttle response off the line
Had it for two hours so far
Will update on next while

This seems to be the case with throttle controllers on these trucks. Some other people on this forum will try to convince you otherwise, but they have no idea what they're talking about. I've used a Pedal Commander and a Vitesse on different 2019 and 2020 RAMs with the same result - the controllers adjust the sensitivity of the pedal (i.e. call it 1 inch of pedal travel/20% throttle can be increased to make the truck think you've pressed the pedal 2 inches/40% throttle), but they will not adjust the response time of the pedal (delay from the time the pedal moves that the throttle blade reacts). Need something other than a throttle controller to do that on these trucks. I haven't tried Sprint Booster - they have a famous marketing video that shows their controller fixing the throttle blade delay, but this was on a test bench, not in a real vehicle. I'm not convinced any throttle controller will fix the delay on these trucks. You probably need a tune or something that integrates elsewhere (like a Pulsar & the PCM).

Agreed 100%

100% agreed... does not address the issue at all

Ugh. Thanks for the responses everyone. Guess I'll be living with it for now.

Umm.. so you’re stupid cuz I did this and got like a thousand horsepower okaaaay... so yeeeahh what everrrrr

Same with the Banks pedal monster, Still has the lag but 40% at 20% input.

I have a Lambo, installed Sprint Booster, HUGE improvement. The car does not nose over between shifts.
