speaking of frustrated...
Also looking at a roar pedal or tuning, so I can have access to "all" of the truck the I paid for. Continuous situation arise where the computer and I disagree... when I say off, I mean OFF!! not a little off, I mean go away! your services are no longer required... I dont mean reduce my throttle when I'm hammering through mud and snow and I want the momentum. OR!! the rear starts to kick out on black ice and I want to give it more throttle to straighten up, but instead the computer decided it was a better idea to hit the brakes and take away the throttle completely but only for a few seconds, which almost results in a spin but then gave you back a little throttle...still not enough that its useful because the brakes are still being applied.
Even the acceleration is restricted, what I mean is, the throttle does not mirror my foot. At least until the pedal is about 3/4 of the way to the floor, then it goes from what feels like 1/4 to full, drops three gears, slams you back in the seat and reminds me why I like the hemi's. But thats not what i wanted in that situation.
I think it might be time for an "off-grid" truck... must haves include:
- ability to rev engine from other locations than drivers seat
- more pedals than feet
- transmission MUST require driver input prior to any change
- must include alternate methods of starting engine
- Must have increased security system (separate key for entering is accepted)
- AM/FM radio... optional
- Must NOT have any ability to make decisions of any kind
- Must NOT have the ability to override driver input
- Must NOT have the ability to communicate information to the manufacture - all communication will be the responsibility of the driver/owner
- Must NOT have the ability to record any information ( pre-set radio station if equipped are acceptable)
- Must NOT have any system that redirects oil away from important engine components .
