Banks PedalMonster throttle booster review by a skeptic

[@paulbenderavich3833]

I have the pedal monster installed on my 2017 L5P Duramax. I know it doesn't add additional HP or TQ, but one can think otherwise. It totally eliminates the known "dead pedal" issue. It's worth every penny. Great product as usual Gale.

[@txfieros]

The initial half second dead pedal is what bothers me. I couldn’t care less about while under way. The throttle seems much more responsive once I’m moving even when stock. What part of dead pedal are you talking about. Initial application or underway?

We bought the iDash super gauge and the pedal monster for our 2022 GMC Sierra 2500HD 6.6 Duramax and the sensitivity makes the throttle sooo much more responsive and usable. Need to squirt into a small spot in slow moving highway traffic? DONE. Highway on-ramps were never a problem and this setup makes the throttle much more responsive.. Excellent products. Well it should be. ITS FROM BANKS!

[@clintmartell3975]

works flawlessly. only issue i see with it is the fact that Onstar monthly diagnostic reports are inconclusive because it sees an after market device plugged into the OBD port and will not give you a diagnostic report along with exclamation bullets for each test done. especially a big concern if you pay for such services to be performed and now you pretty much cancelled the results of the diagnostic reports on your vehicle.

I installed one in my Colorado this week and I love it. Its not just going WOT when you input half throttle per se, its smarter than that. Its almost like going to cable throttle, with 30 adjustments. You have to drive it to understand it. But more importantly, when is the Deringer coming out for the 2.8 lwn!?

[@05EVORS]

Got one on a magnusen blown 350hp 17 4Runner on 34's, App only (no iDash). The truck is dialed now on Sport 4. I was gonna re-gear from 3:73 to 4:56 NOT ANYMORE. Glad I spent 10% of a regear to get what I wanted. No Regrets at all. Shooting through traffic is fun breeze now, it affects upshifting/downshifting makes it all crispy now, no slippage. It is telling the trucks mapping your under load and it has to be adding more fuel the truck is quicker and feels 1500lbs lighter. I've been manually shifting it for 90k miles (less shifting needed w supercharger) before the PM and I have not needed to touch shifter while driving for past 2 weeks since install. 4 runners can be made into beasts! get the Supercharger and the PM! it wager its a 13.9 quarter mile or quicker on 34" rubber. Crazy

A well presented theory explanation and driving demonstration. I want it, however I cannot bring myself to hook a product into the OBD data port. If the system went in series with the throttle body and had a separate power supply I would buy it.

[@Longslyde1]

I'd like to see a signal test going to the ECU with and without the pedal monster in place. All I want is the pedal to be 100% linear with throttle output, 0 to 100%. From no foot to pedal on the floor. I will control that. True Cable-like response from fly-by-wire. No "modifying" it to be at 100% throttle at 50% pedal. THAT'S what I don't like or want and why these products get a bad name and all the skepticism. I want to see the signal response. For example, if I press the throttle 50%, and say stock goes from 0 to 2.5 volts over a second or 2, THAT's LAG to me. It SHOULD be to the given voltage EXACTLY AS FAST as press the pedal. Like I say CABLE-LIKE.... If it's truly faster than mashing the pedal at ANY give pedal percentage, I'm sold. Sprint Booster had the video I'd like to see done with Banks. Set up a video with a throttle body and a pedal with the Monster in place. If you can show the throttle plate opens and closes faster than just mashing the pedal AT A LINEAR rate, WITH all Banks safety, you will sell to a hell of a lot more customers than just me! I'd be on board!

[@djkowboytodd8810]

Good Explanation. That is what I am looking for. I don't want more throttle than what I am physically applying. If I push pedal 50%, 75% or 100%. I want it the SPLIT SECOND I request it. I don't want to push pedal and wait for a second or two or three for the throttle to respond. I was rear ended and my vehicle was totaled. I think the impact would have been far less or not at all if my 2013 Expedition with a 5.4L would have moved when I heard squealing tires and saw vehicle fixing to plow me in my rear view mirror and I floored it. Instead it took almost 3 seconds from the time I floored it to get out of the way before it started to move. Soooo I Got Plowed. If it will respond immediately instead of "LAGGING" I WILL BYE ONE. All the talk is about increasing the voltage your applying. What is needed is a decrease in the RESPONSE TIME. That is what LAG is. The time it takes for the pedal to be pressed and the throttle plate to respond. DOES THIS PRODUCT REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THAT????? That is the question.

[@Longslyde1]

@@djkowboytodd8810 Yeah, I don't think we'll get a solid response. They make too much money fooling people by increasing ramp rates so people "Think" the vehicle's faster. All throttle "Boosters" do the same thing. They change the pedal travel from 0 to 5 volts. And the less you have to press the pedal to get to 5 volts, the more you "Think" it faster. They have to because anything else HAS to be done in programming to gain response. Timing, fuel, etc... And these don't change programming. All they can do is give a 0 to 5 volt signal in any shorter travel range they want. People don't even realize if it's at 5 volts at 50% pedal travel with the booster on it, the last half of your pedal travel does absolutely NOTHING. When I tune my vehicles via ECU, I change the ramp rate to be 100% linear from 0% to 100% pedal travel. THAT's all the vehicle will do, and I can control every percent of that myself. Smoke and mirrors...

I actually drive to work 30 miles each way. My truck has adaptive cruise and the Pedal monster reverts back to stock when in cruise it doesn’t use derringer either when in cruise control. I’ve had it for about 25k miles and it’s been great, no smoke, 50 state legal etc. There isn’t one bad thing I’d say about it. Definitely uses a little more DEF but I could care less about that.

I have a Ford and their throttle pedal response is terrible, I don’t think it hardly cracks open the throttle until it’s 50% percent depressed. Then it shifts early on top of that. I am so happy with not having to mash the peddle to get a response. I have it adjusted to about 7 city for city driving . Same gas mileage just less manipulation of the throttle now.

[@timdavison2417]

Do you have the ford pass app? If so did it change anything on it? Thanks

[@cc-tb3st]

So I don't have a pedal commander pedal monster or anything like that. I have a 2022 Prius Prime. It has three modes, eco-normal and sport. All it does is the exact same thing as the pedal monster by adjusting how the ECU reacts to throttle input. Sport is actually pretty dang responsive with my electric motors. The Prius is actually able to be kind of a sporty car and it's impressive. Eco, all it does is reduce throttle response. I normally do drive around an eco mode because I own a Prius because I want to make fuel mileage. But when I'm in the city in heavy traffic making lots of turns, I go ahead and drop it in sport because I want the instant throttle response.

[@semecristian]

Does the pedal monster make the car downshift since its sending a bigger input? I have a 3.0 duramax, and would like for it not to downshift all the time when I give it more than 30%pedal.

[@x4tfxChallenger]

I know this is two years late😂 but possibly? My car will command a downshift (at least in my 2017 Dodge Challenger 5.7L). Sometimes it double shifts down, depending on how much throttle you give (and at high levels, it’s not much😅) Since you have a diesel that makes max torque and horsepower at lower RPM ranges, it shouldn’t down shift? I’m pretty sure you can find the answer on forms, or even call Banks and ask them👍🏽

[@gunsnsails]

Just now seeing this because I bought a Pedal Monster and did some searching so KZbin gives me old videos. I haven't had anything but problems so far with install and application. I've been on the phone with Banks twice with zero resolve so far. Hopefully the advice I got today will help when I get back on it tomorrow. So far, I'm not sold.

Do you have the speed trim setting turned on? It makes the pedal monster relatively unresponsive under 10 mph.

@BR R yea, I've been through all the settings. It's great when it's going. it just doesn't change anything from a stop. I push the peddle at the green light, and it still waits a while before zipping off and zipping through gears. That wait time is unchanged, but lag everywhere else is gone.

[@question_it_701]

Folks that argue, "Just press the pedal down all the way, its the same thing" -- It isn't. LOL. This is the easiest way I can explain this: To get to 100% throttle without it, you need to press the pedal down 100% of the way. To go to 100% throttle WITH it, you need to press the pedal down 30% - %40 of the way (or whatever it is. I know its wayyyyy less than 100%) Which can you do faster with your own foot and reflexes? Press the pedal down 30% or 100% ? The PedalMonster gets you to a higher throttle in less time than you could do with your own foot.

@@beddozo I often mash the pedal to the boards to pass and the truck sometimes still takes a couple seconds to figure out what to do. It's likely taking the time to ramp in the power smoothly so it doesn't send a huge load of soot down to the DPF. I'm really not sure if a pedal monster is going to help in that case.

⁠​⁠@@Charles-jo8ubI hope you’re kidding, yes, manufacturers create lag on purpose, it’s to increase fuel economy for government regulations, banks takes the lag “out” by sending more fuel to the motor than your foot is telling it to, the pedal monster will absolutely increase fuel consumption

We said the same thing for years, we never understood why someone would want to spend money on this. If you want to go faster push farther on the pedal. Then we bought one and tested it, we ate crow real fast. Remember, the PedalMonster is a throttle sensitivity controller. It removes response delays on your electronic accelerator pedal. In other words, it gets rid of the dreaded “sponge pedal” found in so many of today’s cars and trucks. A block of wood can't do that.

[@ze3bar]

@@bankspower can you get the same result from tuning the ECU

[@bankspower]

This is true, however, PedalMonster can be stacked with tuning for a great driving experience. A few other things to consider are that ECU tuning can range is pricing and there are some folks would love to keep their warranty intact (by not modifying the computer). Remember, PedalMonster does not alter the vehicle’s ECM (computer) in any way. When in doubt, customers can simply remove the PedalMonster and its harness. After removal its presence is undetectable; it does not leave a footprint in your ECM keeping your warranty safe. 😎👍🏻

It is yes. But to get to 100% throttle without it, you need to press the pedal down 100% of the way. To go to 100% throttle WITH it, you need to press the pedal down 30% - %40 of the way. Which can you do faster with your own foot and reflexes? Press the pedal down 30% or 100% ? Exactly. Thanks for coming.

Does Pedal Monster help others hurt MPG?

[@sderden]

My buddy just got it for his 2016 F250 and he said it was getting him better MPG.

Where is pedal monster made

[@jim5148]

Has anybody used one long enough to see how it affects your fuel mileage? Just curious if it makes a big difference.

[@bankspower]

The PedalMonster was designed to deliver throttle boost when you need it. It was not designed to increase fuel economy. Therefore, we do not advertise fuel economy gains. Fuel economy will depend on many variables including how you drive, how hard you mash the throttle, or PedalMonster level/environment you drive in.

[@jim5148]

@@bankspower Sorry, I didn't word my question clearly. I mean, does it adversely affect fuel mileage much? I'm not trying to find something wrong with the product, but I just wondered how much difference it has made with users.

So it gives a false value to make up for the delay… 🤔

[@mikeortiz6584]

So does the pedal monster only gets it power from the obd2 port? I have my P3 Gauge connected to the obd2 port at all times so is there anyway to make it work?

[@bankspower]

Yes, the PedalMonster requires the OBD 2 to power up, however you can use the splitter that we offer to run both devices.

[@mikeortiz6584]

@@bankspower Can the splitter actually split and send data as well to both devices? Also is it available for VW/Audi vehicles?

I just use lead boots... not cheaper, but easier to install.

[@bankspower]

We understand where you're coming from, we said the same thing for a while. Gale said for the longest time before we installed one in his car. "If I want to go faster, I'll just push my foot down harder!" He, along with others thought they were silly. But then we installed one in his car and he was an instant believer. He literally came in the next day and said, "I get it now. I really get it. We need to design one... But one with safety features." PedalMonster doesn't change the power, however, it drastically changes the delivery of it. It removes response delays on your electronic accelerator pedal. A lead boot doesn't do that.

[@MrJimmyPenguin]

Just push the peddle more... you are not changing the speed from the computer to the throttle, only the peddle to the ecu.

[@bankspower]

That's exactly what Gale said before we installed one in his car. "If I want to go faster, I'll just push my foot down harder!" He, along with others thought they were silly.

[@bankspower]

No. Mobile App or iDash Gauge is the only method of control we will offer as of now.

[@MrJimmyPenguin]

@@bankspower I don't normally doubt the banks himself as he always explains with logical thinking and studies, but this one is a hard one to grasp, as it makes sense what he's saying it happening but the goal it achieves is more so the question, we'll see if I find a place that lets me return no hassle if I don't like it.

[@MrStaybrown]

It's great but the lag at a stop light to get going is never going to be eliminated, when you try to take off from the stop light, the trucks reaction from peddle push to movement will stay the same, but once you're going it will zip through gears and add snap.

[@francohernandez13]

i heard that if you out it in reverse the pedal monster goes back to stock what if i put it on reverse then on drive would it stay on the custom settings or will i have to set them again

[@bankspower]

PedalMonster automatically returns to the last setting it was in before switching to reverse.

Does the pedal monster work on german brand cars?

[@bankspower]

Not yet, however, European is next on our list of vehicles. Mercedes, BMW, and Audi are all on our list. We're constantly updating our catalog, check back with us later this year.

[@Theseones]

@@bankspower that's great to hear! I refuse to use ones after I saw the video when you compared your pedalmonster to other pedal modifiers. The german brands have pedals that feel very spongy due to fuel savings and a lot of them can't be fixed when tuned.
