Throttle lag

[jsalbre]

While technically true, this comment comes off as silly-sounding from a person who has (obviously) not driven a 2020+ cummins with a throttle booster.

They do work as advertised. I repeat -- They absolutely deliver a more enjoyable driving experience.

OP -- Try the Edge EZX. That's the one I run. The box will also allow you to change the computer for tire size, has button recall (exhaust brake, front/rear warning cancel, etc), and a small bump in power (tune).

Truck drives fantastic with this setup. You couldnt pay me to remove it. It's that much better than stock.

You may enjoy it more, but it’s absolutely not removing any lag, so if that’s what it advertising then they don’t work as advertised. It’s just not possible. It’s just boosting the voltage from the pedal. Nothing you plug in can change how fast the throttle controller reacts to the incoming signal.

It absolutely lessens the lag, if you think it doesn't you are flat out wrong. It's not hard to watch a boost gauge. So it pretty obvious some of you are against the edge and the way it works and that's fine. But it works whether you like it or not..

I’m not talking about the Edge, I’m talking about throttle/pedal boosters. It’s irrelevant what you believe, plugging something in between the pedal and the truck’s computers can’t make the computer respond faster. They’re just voltage boosters, making it “look” to the computer like you’ve pressed the pedal further than you have.

All that said, the Edge also cannot do anything about throttle lag, because it’s just sending spoofed sensor readings to the computers. Basically it’s watching the various sensors and lying to the computers about what those sensors are saying, making it dump more fuel or command more boost.

Throttle lag on drive-by-wire systems is 100% programmed in. You have to modify the software on the system in order to change it at all. Hard stop.

Exactly.

Sorry guys I thought you ment the edge

I don't care how it's done. Drive a stock truck then drive one with an edge ezx and tell me it's not doing anything. Lol how it's getting done makes no difference to me. If I was doing a max build yes I'd want the ecu and a software tune but for what I wanted this is fine. I probably won't keep this truck for more than a couple years anyway. I have deleted a couple combines and tractors and do a software tune for those since there kind high dollar engines and get worked hard 12 hours a day. Guys outta Canada do that for me. This isn't anything new to me lol

I have the EZX also and it's a completely different truck now. I wouldn't drive it w/o the box.

OK Im fully confused now. So the bits I care about clarifying are, A, is the Banks Pedal Monster considered a "pressure box", and B, if I buy and install a Banks PM, am I doing any damage to my engine? Please forgive my neophyte-ness.

If you want it, then get it..I ran one, its fine...you think Banks would want to be responsible if their product ruined your engine?

The pedal monster is not a pressure box, it only magnifies your pedal input.
