NEW PedalMonster Makes Driving FUN Again

The NEW PedalMonster is the first-ever OBD-II data-connected intelligent throttle response controller for cars and trucks. When Gale and the Banks Engineering team discovered that all other throttle boosters were unsafe, they set out to make a better one.
City, Sport, and Track modes provide 10 unique levels each of increasing intensity for both manual and automatic transmissions, making modern drive-by-wire cars and trucks feel more responsive than ever! Dead pedal is a thing of the past.
PedalMonster seamlessly integrates with Banks tuners, monitors, and supports all popular cars and trucks, domestic and foreign. Available as a stand-alone module, for use with existing iDash, with iDash SuperGauge, and iDash DataMonster.
PedalMonster’s internal circuitry is powered by the reliable +12 volt OBD-II connector. Competitive devices draw current directly from the low-overhead +5 volt throttle pedal circuit, often causing a check engine light and reduced engine power. And, after removal, no footprint is left behind, making it warranty-friendly.

Man, I'm glad I found this video. I've seen a lot of the other PC videos all over YT, and almost sent a few dollars away to get one. I recently purchased a 2010 GMC Sierra.

When I get a fancy modern car with fly by wire I'll get one. Actually my 06 Crown Vic was wire throttle, while it was ok it was nothing like my 04 Jeep GC, the last year for the old school cable throttle. Still has the best response around, nothing beats a direct throttle connection.

[@georgiafan6618]

You guys make the best stuff. I have a supercharged Tundra with a stout 4.88 rear. My tuner (Bully Dog) provides a twitchy throttle setting on top of an already hyper, Toyota stock throttle. As you imagine, when I just touch the pedal, it jumps. Combined with 4.88 rear and posi, it brings a smile to my face every time. It feels like a big diesel dumpling it’s torque at once. So, I would get the pedal monster and set it to “race!” 😆 If I had a diesel, I’d endow the truck with a full Banks system. It’s the only way to make huge, safe power.

I bought my pedal commander two years and I used it how the instructions say to and it works great,easy to install and is place out of sight so my window doesn’t get broken to steal it. It has never given me a dead pedal or put my vehicle into limp mode. I use it everyday that I drive it and change the settings to what I’m doing and it feels like a different vehicle over stock. The pedal monster is probably good too but I bought my pedal commander for under $300 and I’m happy with it!

[@bankspower]

We're glad you've had good luck with it, some unlucky few haven't. If you ever change your mind, PedalMonster starts at $295 and has some exclusive features: ▪️ActiveSafety failsafe circuitry ▪️Gear Sense, detect when you are in reverse gear to activate the patented Reverse Safety feature. ▪️Transmission select, to toggle and adjust PedalMonster between manual vs automatic transmissions selections. ▪️Reverse Safety returns pedal to stock in reverse gear ▪️Adjustable Low-Speed Trim controls how fast sensitivity is added at slow speeds ▪️Module powered by +12v via OBD, not low-overhead pedal circuit like Pedal Commander and others.

I dig it. Planning on getting one for my 2020 Powerstroke. The guy from the KZbin channel workplaytv just did a video review on this for his 2020 Powerstroke. Now, we need the Derringer for the 2020 Powerstroke.

Banks power is most definitely the top dog. As a customer I appreciate that you take safety seriously. I wouldn’t risk my family’s life using any of these other products. It’s flat out dangerous some of these companies. Just ordered the pedal monster 64310 for my 19’ f250 can’t wait to start towing with it.

[@bankspower]

Love to hear this feedback Andrew. Consider the fact that PC and all the other throttle boosters on the market (some have been around longer than others) have no safety features, we don't consider them on our level.

[@DrewskisBrews]

Well done!

[@RIPPERTON]

I put HP Tuners Scanner on my Ford Transit Custom. Ign on engine off I floored the throttle and the throttle opening went to 80% !!!! I literally ground away some of the plastic that stops the pedal moving down and got the throttle opening up to 94% when floored. The pedal now goes further down toward the ground AND I can feel more power. Scanner also shows higher fuel duty at full throttle.

[@JV-sx3xc]

Have had mine on my ‘19 Challenger for a while now and can’t drive without it. Had Pedal Commander and it did put my car in limp mode at highway speeds. Bit unnerving to say the least. Love the response and safety features of Pedal Monster. Will never be without it.

Wow....glad I still have "old tech" and a throttle cable with adjustment...for my application, I kinda wanted a larger 4.0l Mustang throttle body. Can't do it, it's fly by wire...might be able to run a 2011+ 4.0l ECU which gives me a curve that's adjustable, but the good ol' cable I think will be fine. I've flown airplanes with both wire and cable....one thing wire will NEVER have is positive feedback. Amazing product Mr. Banks' company has designed, but I want to fly/drive the machine, not it do it for me.

[@BumDog2112]

Didn’t see my 2017 Chevy SS sedan listed on the website. I’ll be calling you guys to check on this. Been holding off on getting a Pedal Commander because of mixed reviews. This is the unit I need for sure!!!

We believe our 64310 PedalMonster will work with your SS. Take a photo of your pedal connector and text it to us at [phone]. We can tell you right away if it'll work.

[@BumDog2112]

Thanks for the quick reply!! Can’t see the plug without dropping some interior trim panels. I found pics of new and used pedal assemblies online including the female plug. Seems to be the exact plug found on the 2017 Camaro and also on my 2500HD. Thinking more about it this should be a simple plug and play especially since other SS owners have installed Pedal Commanders. Will be ordering soon!

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting for my vehicle, it has all the features for a perfect throttle response. I hope it can be made to fit my pedal 😎

[@timothybayliss6680]

It plugs into the OBD port and the pedal connector. As long as they have one that fits the connector, it should work for almost any drive by wire vehicle. Even equipment like excavators and loaders have electronic throttle, it would theoretically work for those as well.

[@vonstrappon]

Timothy Bayliss my pedal plug is different to the one shown, it’s a commercial van, hopefully there are different styles available 👍🏼

[@nicks1258]

Hi Gale, I genuinely admire your work. A true legend in the industry, seriously. Could I use this on a Z06 Corvette to limit maximum power output? I am thinking for track day work if someone green wants to get behind the wheel I can take it from 600+HP down to say 60-70% max throttle? I am assuming this would be a simple coding change, but I have no idea how complex your algorithms are!

[@brockbailey619]

I'd love to try it on my duramax

[@JeepCherokeeful]

My favorite Mustang mod was a throttle remap;)

[@timothybayliss6680]

I had a 2008 cobalt manual that had terrible throttle mapping. If you were rolling, it would go into a different throttle map that would make it dangerous to drive. Imagine youre at a stop sign and when you let off the brake the car rolls backwards, I mean an inch, the throttle map would soften and you would stall the car. I had the same problem with my 2009 corolla, that mysteriously disappeared when I unplugged the Abs pump and disabled the vehicle speed sensors. When the ecm thought the car wasn't rolling, the throttle response was almost too sharp.

[@Moparscrivy]

Wish you had stuff for an 02 chevy s10 pickup with a 2.2 a lil bump will be nice

[@LowOnCash]

Great video thanks for sharing - Lets say I have my Pedal Monster set up so when I have 20% pedal deflection and Pedal Monster is set to give me 40% power at that pedal position. Wouldn't it be just as easy to just push the throttle down to 40% to accomplish the same power and not bother with the cost of a Pedal Monster and not have to worry about reverse. Regardless of Pedal Monsters sensitivity or mode, your getting the same exact results and power the stock throttle provides. Pedal Monster just gives the driver an illusion he is getting more power, when all he has to do is push the pedal down a bit further to obtain the same exact results and power. ' While I'm a firm believer in most all of your products, I just can't wrap my head around any real use for a Pedal Monster when I can do the same thing with my stock throttle. Regards - M.J.Mas
