Silverado Throttle Controller: Banks Over JMS

Banks PedalMonster and iDash SuperGauge installed in a Chevrolet Silverado HD cabin
The Banks iDash allows on-the-fly PedalMonster sensitivity adjustment and real-time throttle monitoring.

When his aftermarket throttle booster abruptly stopped working, Silverado HD owner Jay decided he was done dealing with unreliable competitor electronics. “I had a JMS PedalMAX installed on my truck,” Jay explains. “With the JMS, I’d have to manually reach down, turn the dial down to zero, and only then shift into reverse to keep the truck from lurching. Then the unit failed entirely. That was the last straw.” Seeking a safer, engineered solution, Jay ordered the Banks PedalMonster paired with an iDash digital monitor. “I mean, from the time that I opened the box to the time I was starting up my truck, it was 30 minutes! The installation was ridiculously easy.”

Beyond straightforward plug-and-play installation, the patented safety architecture of the PedalMonster throttle controller completely eliminated Jay’s reversing headaches. Unlike analog throttle boosters that blindly amplify pedal signals in every gear, PedalMonster interfaces directly with vehicle CAN bus data via the OBD-II port. When Jay shifts into reverse, patented Reverse Safety instantly returns pedal sensitivity to 100% stock, preventing unintended acceleration while parking or hooking up a trailer. “I really like that I can have aggressive throttle response going forward, but the moment I put it in reverse, it drives completely normal without touching a single button,” Jay says. “It completely transformed the truck.”
