Banks Power has been working on a PedalMonster throttle response system. I reached out to them for availability. They said, "As far as the Pedal Monster yes we will have one soon for your truck."
Here are some details that have been in Banks' recent newsletters.
December, 2019:
The Electrical Engineering team at Banks have been busy at work to bring you the latest in-line smart module, the PedalMonster! Now it’s time to let you in on the secret. This plug-and-play module easily connects to your vehicle and allows you to adjust its throttle response, eliminating the dreaded “dead pedal.” Banks also loaded it with safety features that won’t ever leave you stranded such as an internal by-pass system that will return the throttle back to stock should a problem arise. All other throttle products on the market will leave you powerless on the side of the road should power to the units be interrupted, or if the product fails.
The PedalMonster also includes selectable power modes that allow you to custom tailor the throttle response to your liking. Change the responsiveness on the fly through the iDash DataMonster, iDash SuperGauge, or through the app on your phone with the PedalMonster’s Bluetooth connectivity. The best part: you can either run it on its own or use it in conjunction with Banks tuners for the ultimate horsepower and throttle response. With the PedalMonster you’ll get safety features no other company even thought to include, protecting you, your family and your investment for the long haul. It’s power and control without compromise, and that’s something Banks has been doing for over 60 years.

Throttle sensitivity boost circuit boards ready for duty!
The latest pre-production Banks PedalMonster boards are in and are being readied for further testing. The PedalMonster is an excellent example of the relentless pursuit of product perfection here at Banks. Essentially done and ready for consumer use months ago, Banks instead decided to expand the “Test Pilot” program by getting the product in as many different vehicles as possible and to really listen to the feedback from the testers. Further improvements to calibrations, response and additional features have been added. This new version will connect to the OBD-II diagnostic port which will provide a constant 12v power supply to the module for uninterrupted steady power, which will circumvent problems seen on many throttle adjustment devices due to their connection to a low-voltage source, namely, the pedal plug itself. The added benefit is that the module can now read what gear the vehicle is in, including reverse.
