  • We test out the all new JMS pedal max for the 2019 Ram and see how it removes the throttle lag from the drive by wire system that limits the throttle response and now allows you to control the speed the throttle opens and unleash the power the factory doesn't want you to have with this hidden power mod.

  • @troydobranski1188
    @troydobranski1188 Před 4 lety +5

    Skip the pedalmax and go straight for the Edge Pulsar.
    Power levels adjust pedal sensitivity, they're adjustable on the fly with your cruise buttons without stopping, and it's dyno proven for around 30hp to the wheels. I get 1-2 mpg better pulling my RV as well.
    Plus, it doesn't require unlocking your PCM, and when you take it in to the dealer it comes out with 2 bolts in about 5-10 minutes. As it simply manipulates what goes in/out of the computer you can remove it and send the truck in and the dealer has readings to look at (vs. no history when you take out your tune and put the factory back in) and therefore has no idea you have a programmer.
    I don't work for any of these companies, just a happy customer who wasted money on a pedal commander then bought the programmer and enjoyed a legit gain in performance instead of a placebo.

    Hey I know this is a bit late and I’ve seen you changed trucks but I’ve wanted to know your final impressions of owning the pedal max and if I should get it installed on my truck. Does it hurt or decrease engine life in any way and is there anything I should know about. Really like the idea of reduced throttle lag because the 5.7 hemi on rams do have quite a bit delay when hitting the throttle even for 4wd so should I be fine to get it or should I not

  • @ctgblue

  • @vincentweisenberg2683
    @vincentweisenberg2683 Před 11 měsíci

    I timed the 0-60 on the video (four times each) with and without the pedalmax, Without it the truck averaged 7.04 seconds 0-60, and with it the truck averaged 7.48! What I noticed in the video is that with the pedalmax there was a lag in the speed increasing right around 50 mph. That could have been a driver variance. I put one of these in my '14 Ram, and it was fun for a couple weeks, but after that, I took it out because my mileage significantly went down (yes I could have reduced the percentage, but I found myself liking it too much). I now have a '21 Ram, and the factory did somewhat address this issue, but there is still a significant lag when passing. What I do now is, if I think I'm going to pass, I just blip the gas pedal, which causes the transmission to downshift a couple gears so when I do you get on it there's not as much delay.

    @inteltavangar Před 3 lety +1

    My 2019 RAM 1500 V8 4x4 CCab has the same issue...a delayed response to the pedal in acceleration. Not just that, while driving, say between 40-50 and the traffic opens up and if it is a freeway, I push the pedal, not quite flooring, but I have some 2-3 seconds delay before I see the acceleration. So, as you described, will this JMS Pedal-Max do the magic trick on mine, or is it just a myth?
    Also, I would like for you to make a detailed video of BorgWarner 44x44 and BorgWarner 44x45 systems of RAM and how DOdge lied to the customers on BW44x44 and calling it 4x4, which is not the case because it is a wet clutch concept. The only true 4x4 is BW44x45.

    I agree with the one’s that say it doesn’t add power. I had the Pedal Commander for a month or two. I tried all positions and actually preferred stock. Especially after the day I went to the stored and the unit failed. Most of the ride was below 40 mph neighborhoods, and about 1/2 mile of 55mph. It wasn’t till this stretch that I realized I had no throttle control. The truck would just keep speeding up till I hit the brake without ever touching the throttle. In park it idled fine. Put it in gear and it took off. Not fast but just kept going faster and faster till I hit the brake. Remove the unit and the truck is fine. Then I had to go in and clear all the codes and lights it set.

    Will the peddle max still work with my tuner?

  • @sergeysmelnik
    @sergeysmelnik Před 4 lety +1

    The pedal boostermaxcommander works by altering the signal that is being sent to the ecu of the vehicle. Most stock vehicles give you a 1 to 1 ratio oh how far you press the pedal and how far the throttle body opens. Press the pedal half way and throttle body opens half way, just like the old throttle by cable systems. However because this is electronic, manufactures added in things like torque management, or clutch protection for smoother acceleration. These things make it feel like the throttle body is opening slower than the throttle press many times, and thats exactly whats happening. This product installs right between the pedal and ecu and intercepts the signal. It then increases the signal and sends it to the ecu. For example if you press the pedal half way, the throttle body opens three quarters of the way. But because the product is installed before the ecu, the ecu will still add in torque management and slow down the speed at which your throttle body opens. This is why this product is warranty safe as well, it doesnt tamper with any ecu settings. Your ecu just things youre pressing the pedal down further than you are, which brings me to the point, dont waste your money, just press the pedal down faster and further. Also, these products all do the same thing and are very simple and over priced. I think at 20 dollars it would be a great product. RC radios now days come with more complex version of this product for 40 bucks. But you get to map out your exact throttle press on a visual graph. Also, any car or truck with sport mode increases the throttle sensitivity, and its already built in and free. The true and only way to get rid of a slow, gradual opening throttle body is to simply tune.

    • @jed92y
      @jed92y Před 4 lety +2

      @@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA What Sergey is saying makes a lot of sense. Are you claiming that this device exceeds the limits of the pedal? Like, assuming stock pedal has a max throttle open speed of X at WOT when the pedal is floored. This device can exceed that speed by some percent? And 7 degrees more than what? If it is 7 degrees more than where the throttle is open at any point on stock pedal travel, then you are proving Sergey's point that simply pressing the stock pedal more or faster would achieve the same goal. Not trying to be dismissive of the product, it just seems more like a throttle input adjuster than something that would release power. For that, like Sergey said, you would need to tune the ECU.

    • @HammerdownMotorsportsUSA
      @HammerdownMotorsportsUSA  Před 4 lety

      jed92y I mean obviously I did not invest this product but from my understanding it allows the throttle to open faster and open 7 degrees more than stock so pressing the pedal to the floor there is a delay and this will eliminate that by intercepting the output from the ecu and amplifying the signal to the throttle body motor causing it to open faster than stock in turn giving you control over throttle lag and the difference is very noticeable

    Not doubting the seat of the pants feel that is obviously better than stock by your laughter but according to the zero to 60 times on your video, they are exactly 7 seconds on the before ( 3.32 - 3.39 ), and on the after ( 9.18 - 9.25 ) so I'm wondering if this is really much of an advantage. This was a couple of years ago now so I am wondering if this has remained a good choice and would you still recommend it? I have a brand new 2021 Ram 1500 and I am considering this. Any input would be great, thanks.

      @@MrComputerCoder No sir you are the one who doesnt understand how it works, I wrote a comment in this video explaining it. This product doesnt affect the ecu, which is why its warranty safe. The ecu is what slows down the throttle body opening speed. The throttle body only sees the input from the ecu, not the throttle pedal. Therefore no matter what you install on the throttle pedal it will never change the way the ecu interacts with your throttle body. All this thing does is change the signal from pedal to ecu. You press down 20 percent but with this product the ecu is seeing 30 percent for example. This product cant get rid of torque management and other nannies that try to save the drive train. You literally can press your pedal down faster and further and do exactly what this product does. There is no "lag" in an electronic system like this. It does absolutely zero for acceleration and speed.

      @@xmarksthespot4617 pretty much. So the throttle is all electronic now, no physical connection between the pedal and throttle body. Just an electric signal telling the throttle body to open, and how far to open. This, and many others exactly like it, take that signal and boost it. So if you barely press the pedal for normal take off from a stop, your throttle body might open 20%. This would take your same input but change it from 20% to 40% or something. Give you the illusion you’re gaining power when it’s just the same as if you push the pedal to 40% yourself. Wide open throttle is still 100% with or without this module. It’s a gimmick. If you want the throttle to be more “responsive” just stand on the pedal lol
