There are no negative effects of using both an ECM tune and PedalMonster. As explained in the original post, we recommend requesting that the tuner not alter the pedal position, or alter it very little. This will allow PedalMonster to have the greatest impact. Regarding leaving the AccessPort...

Justin, thank you for the thoughtful reply. Looking through the lens of a calibrator, of which we have four on staff, we can see how the answer is calibration. However, for us, the answer lies with customer choice. OEs give the driver various driving modes for this reason. Our device is just...

That's correct. Once removed, there is no trace that PedalMonster was ever connected. This is because the ECM thinks it was speaking directly to the pedal. It has no idea that we were intercepting the pedal signal.

While it's hard for us to comment on your specific tune file, we can say confidently that CAM is a reputable calibrator. What you're feeling is not necessarily "more" torque, it's where he's moved it in the RPM range. You are correct in that PedalMonster is not altering the torque limiters...

Yes, you can absolutely use a PedalMonster with a tune. In fact, that was the focus of the article. Looks like we'll have to re-write it so it's more clear. The way to get the best of both worlds is to instruct your calibrator (tuner) not to add any pedal advance. This will allow you to...

Your poor experience was due to the Pedal Commander. The Banks PedalMonster was engineered in response to Pedal Commander's shortcoming. Pedal Commander causes check engine lights, its twitchy and hard to drive with, and does not always play nice with flash tunes with modified APP (pedal)...

Jay from Banks here. I’ll message you so we can get the correct kits shipped immediately.

Every few weeks the same advice appears on Tacoma forums and Facebook groups: “If you’re getting a flash tune, you don’t need a throttle controller.” On the surface, that sounds logical. After all, many tuners modify accelerator pedal sensitivity as part of their calibration. But that statement...

We're aiming for early fall. We've tested all competitors to ensure it's the best performing intercooler on the market, period.

Cam, thanks for being a valuable voice in the community. We look forward to your testing and evaluations. On a related note, we're confident that you'll find our forthcoming intercooler is the best in the business. Looking forward to your stress testing.

Great installation write-up! Looking forward to your long term review.

Thanks for the info. Your iDash and App are up to date. We'll have our firmware team know that we need to save more than one page layout.

Of course you're right about the dual pod application. Not sure why we forgot about the dual option. Regarding the visor not deploying, we'll investigate immediately. Can you tell us what firmware version you're running on the iDash Pro and mobile app?

We’ve tested the Stealth Pod mount in a few dozen trucks and the visor has always cleared. When you have a moment, please see if your visor can slide to the right, thereby allowing it to deploy and clear the iDash. Do you have two iDashes? How are they mounted? We only made a single pod for the...

According to their website, the SXTH intake will only work with a Trailhunter if the ECM is tuned because the cross sectional area at the MAF sensor is calibrated for the non-TRD Pro/TH variants. Our TRD Pro/TH will be available this summer. And it'll be worth the wait!

You bring all valid points, and to be clear, we value your feedback. We'll take it into serious consideration. Some inside baseball... Before we released our intake, SXTH owned the groups and forums. They did a great job seeding influencers and group moderators with free product. So, what you...

Astute observations. Yes, we alter the cross-sectional area at the MAF sensor. We are just shy of the safe AFR limit. There's one intake that produces more power but it runs the engine too lean in our opinion. Regarding long lasting gains, we've tested several aftermarket intake equipped...

We're genuinely sorry to have lost you a potential customer. However, our marketing will not change. Here's why. The automotive aftermarket has a relatively low barrier to entry. And, few people actually fact check manufacturers' claims. There are a few brands that are notorious for stating...

We'll clarify about our "tuning" comments that are frequently seen in Facebook groups. When we entered the Tacoma market last year, we were besieged with OTT tuners who proclaimed that aftermarket intake systems were worthless. They said, and still do, that money is best spent on a tune. They...

At the end of the day, you're the consumer and we respect your decision. Thank you for the feedback.
