I have been running the PC 2.0 for a few weeks now and I have to say this really works. Gone is the dreaded hesitation. It was really unnerving when I would depress the accelerator and my Sprinter would just sit there as on coming traffic would be bearing down. Thanks Owl for another great recommendation!

I was hoping it would eliminate the lag when you take off but didn’t seem to help with that at all (after all, a turbo needs a certain amount of air before the engine can ramp up power). In fact at slightly higher elevations, it would still take a good 1-2 seconds before I had decent acceleration kick in. After acceleration starts, yes the box will help tune that portion. Others have commented that it did help with lag, but I’m just not seeing that. I’ve played with all the modes and several custom curves over the course of about 6000 miles across most of the country.

Does anyone else have to open the Pedal Control app every time they get in their van in order to "turn on" the pedal control? I expected it to be on all the time, every time i turn on the van? Is that something that can be fixed in the Pedal Control app settings?
@johnwillenborg3 жыл бұрын
The pedal control will keep the previous setting unless you change it. Therefore you do not need to open the app every time you start the van. If you think you have something wrong than you can put it in “theft” mode. Then turn off the van. Come back later and start it. The van should not be drivable. If it is drivable without opening the app then there is a problem.

@@johnwillenborg Thx John, yes i did try that test last night. When i turned on the van this morning, it was still in theft mode, so it worked as it should. It was yesterday that i noticed the van felt jerky like it did in stock settings. But then i opened the app and selected sport (which was already highlighted), and the van woke up and accelerated way stronger. So somehow the pedal control had been disengaged. I'll run that test again today, leave it in sport mode, and see if it happens again.

Hey John, will the Renntech tune void the warranty on a new sprinter? Also if you put back into stock mode before taking into a dealer for the early maintenance will the dealer be able to detect you have tuned and detuned?
@owloffroad2 жыл бұрын
It would void the engine warranty but we have never had an issue. Renntech has been in business or a long time and we have thousands of customers with the tune. Never had any sort of damage. As far as tuning back to stock, one should always tune the engine back to stock for any service because they often need to update the vans firmware and that cannot be done with the tune installed.

I'm wondering about how this product could help with providing higher current to charge the house batteries or run additional electrical loads without damaging the engine or alternator. Typically they don't recommend idling the Sprinter because the DPF clogs faster at low RPM's and because the alternator output is somewhat lower at idle. If the Pedal Control could be used to add a "high idle" mode that could help reduce the DPF emissions and bump up the current from the alternator to support faster charging or additional loads like an A/C unit. Kind of like having the benefit of an onboard generator without the generator.

Dan, Yes this is something we discussed. Unfortunately, from a liability standpoint we did not feel it would be safe to have people high idling their vans in park. If a child or pet knocked the van into gear it could be very bad. Lawyers ruin everything
@Raindrop2403 жыл бұрын
Sounds like you want the MidCity Engineering RV remote starter. Its not cheap but it does a hell of a lot. Adjustable high idle from 1250-2000rpm. Basically does exactly everything you asked. Also, no, a child cannot accidentally shift the vehicle into gear in this state. The shift lever is inoperable when remote started. Unless your dog or child knows how to press the brake +on/off button while taking the parking brake off, there isn't much to worry about.
@alanwestport3 жыл бұрын
I suspect that you might aleady be aware that there is a high idle mode feature with a button on some (or all?) Sprinters. i suspect that it's an option. Somehow both my T1N and my NC3, bought second hand have it installed. BTW, they are both pre DEF**ked. The high idle is actived by putting on the parking brake, starting the vehicle and then pressing the button that has an N with circling arrows. This will cause the vehicle to idle at 2k rpm.
