PedalMonster Transforms 5.3L Silverado
Carlos Trujillo was frustrated with his 2018 Silverado Rally Edition. With only 26,000 miles on it, he knew the 5.3L had power but it just seemed muted. Seeking to unleash that power, he toyed with the idea of tuning, head work, intake, and a new cam. But everything changed when Carlos had a conversation with a friend who explained that his extended warranty would inevitably be denied. “The throttle lag is terrible, and it’s not just off-idle but all over,” Carlos explained. “I was talking to a buddy of mine about it and he suggested the Banks PedalMonster, but I was skeptical. He said that if I wasn’t satisfied he would pay for it! In the end, my buddy didn’t have to pay for it. I had no idea what this little thing would unleash on my truck. When I tested it out I put it in Track level 10, switched off traction control, put my foot in the throttle, spun the tires, and laughed like a loon!”
I wanted to keep this truck stock, and the thing is in like-new condition. And I am absolutely, positively impressed with the improvement from the PedalMonster. My current setting is Sport-5 and it’s like I dumped a bunch of money on performance upgrades on it. It took me less than 10 minutes to install and pair with my phone. Putting the zip ties on took up the most time. It was the best performance automotive upgrade that I’ve ever installed, and I didn’t even get my hands dirty! My mind is at ease with the safety features the PedalMonster has built-in, and that it goes back to stock response in reverse. Knowing that I won’t end up on the side of the road with a dead pedal like other throttle boosters is very reassuring. If I could give it a 10-star rating I would.”
