Big Punch For Sluggish Duramax 3.0L

Intro

0:00 are you unhappy with your throttle
0:01 response out of the hole mid-range top
0:04 end if there’s room for improvement
0:07 have the solution I’m Gail Banks what
0:10 happens when an engine guy or even
0:12 better a turbo guy does a throttle
0:14 booster the new pedal monster is the
0:17 throttle booster with a brain it’s the
0:19 most intelligent and safest throttle
0:22 sensitivity controller available here’s

The reality

0:25 the reality we spend most of our time
0:27 coming off the line merging with a
0:30 trailer out back maneuvering in traffic
0:32 at part throttle or working some cool
0:35 stretch of Mountain Road till now you’ve
0:38 been the victim of some group at the
0:41 factory and their predetermined pedal
0:44 profile here’s what’s cool pedal monster
0:47 allows you to precisely select just
0:49 where the power comes in and at what

Drive by wire

0:52 rate today’s cars and trucks are dri by
0:54 wire when you push down the pedal it
0:57 sends a signal to the computer to open
0:59 the throttle the problem with drive by
1:02 wire is that manufacturers often build
1:04 in what we call sponge pedal looking for
1:07 that last tenth of a percent of fuel
1:10 economy in doing so they soften up the
1:13 response and take away 50% of the fun

Sponge pedal

1:16 pedal monster gets rid of that
1:19 lag oh
1:23 yeah oh this is fun let me explain first
1:27 you select the transmission type stick
1:29 or automatic IC then you choose your
1:31 driving mode City sport or track Each of
1:35 which have 10 pedal profiles here’s how

How it works

1:38 it works the pedal monster intercepts
1:40 signals between the pedal and the
1:42 vehicle’s computer then it modifies
1:45 those signals based on the mode and
1:47 pedal profile you choose you know there
1:50 are quite a few throttle boosters on the
1:52 market and almost all of them have
1:54 something in common they’re not safe the

Safety

1:57 biggest safety issue with modules like
1:59 these is that if something goes wrong
2:02 you’re instantly left with no pedal it’s
2:05 like you took the pedal and threw it out
2:07 the window well hell I guess we don’t
2:11 need this
2:13 pedal this is where pedal monster is
2:16 different it utilizes the same active
2:19 safety Health monitoring circuitry that
2:22 we use in all our inline tuners all
2:25 pedal sensors send two or more signals
2:27 to the vehicle’s computer one rising and
2:31 one falling this redundancy is done for
2:34 safety pedal monster is constantly
2:36 looking at these signals if it sees
2:39 something out of spec it Returns the
2:41 pedal to stock another fatal flaw with

Power

2:44 other throttle boosters is that they
2:45 draw current to power the module by
2:49 tapping into the pedal circuit itself in
2:52 many vehicles like mopark cars and
2:54 trucks for example that 5vt circuit
2:57 doesn’t have enough electrical current
2:59 overhead to safely power any additional
3:02 circuitry apparently some of our

Competitors

3:04 competitors have a problem with
3:06 this so we’ve got the check engine light
3:09 on the truck just said engine power
3:12 reduced what do we do to this thing bro
3:15 what did you do I didn’t do anything
3:17 oh maybe this pedal Commander wasn’t a
3:20 good idea we solve this by supplying
3:22 this guy an OBD cable powering pedal
3:26 monster via 12 volts from the OBD port
3:30 where there’s ample current capacity

Features

3:32 since we’re on the OBD port and capable
3:35 of communicating with the vehicle’s
3:37 computer we added vehicle speed sensing
3:40 giving us adjustable lows speeed trim
3:43 and on stick shifts smoother clutch
3:45 engagement and selected gear sensing
3:48 gives us reverse safety these are
3:51 important safety features no other
3:54 throttle device has this is called speed
3:56 based trim so you can select kind of
3:59 that that response and the level of
4:01 response under 10 m hour so I don’t want
4:04 to CH have to disable the system every
4:07 time I’m loading the back of the the bed
4:09 up or towing a trailer I can select this
4:12 set it and forget it under 10 mph stock
4:16 throttle response and because pedal
4:18 monster knows what gear you’re in it
4:20 automatically returns to stock pedal
4:23 sensitivity when you’re in Reverse
4:25 reverse is not something you want to get
4:27 too spicy in modules like pedal
4:29 Commander have no clue what speed you’re
4:32 at or what gear you’re in so they’re
4:35 just as Twitchy in Reverse as they are
4:37 in Drive easy a 2-year-old could do this
4:41 and when you combine it with an ID Dash
4:43 data monster or ID Dash super gauge you
4:46 can control the pedal monster right from
4:49 the gauge and if you’re wondering will

Outro

4:51 this affect my warranty if that’s a
4:54 concern when you remove the pedal
4:56 monster it doesn’t leave a footprint
4:58 we’ve got them for cars we’ve got them
5:00 for trucks we’ve got them for naturally
5:02 aspirated supercharged and turbocharged
5:05 and it’ll put a smile on your
5:08 [Music]
5:10 face I swear it’s so responsive now I
5:13 barely even touch it if this sounds fun
