And this is why Banks is by FAR #1 for ANY aftermarket accessories etc. Everything they do is SO far above and beyond everyone else it’s not even funny. Fricken love it, keep up the great work Banks!!
I just installed the Pedal Monster and it is worth every penny !!! It’s like a new truck 👍 I’m a tech dummy and I set it up the first try ! Thank you very much Banks crew , awesome.
I don't even have a car nor a license, but I wholeheartedly appreciate the engineering that went into this. There is a certain beauty in a well made, thought out product like this. Things worth doing are worth doing properly!
Another great well engineered and made in the USA Gale Banks product! I do think that you could add (3) additional driving modes to this tuner though? 1) Desert running (2) Crawling (3) War mode for the new generation of Banks/Duramax powered up armored military vehicles.
Weather it's someone using this product over competitors or informing people about the dangers of mainstream throttle controllers and discouraging their use, this product and video will probably save someone's life by preventing a dead pedal scenario. Well done, sir.
Have had mine on my ‘19 Challenger for a while now and can’t drive without it. Had Pedal Commander and it did put my car in limp mode at highway speeds. Bit unnerving to say the least. Love the response and safety features of Pedal Monster. Will never be without it.
@@kingvic8745 Sorry, just saw this. I love it. Can't drive without it because the throttle lag is that noticeable when I turn it off. It's been working flawlessly and the extra safety features are nice.
@@Tigerwolf291 its all good & yeah ive seen pretty good stuff about it makes me think its a little fishy lol but is that with sport mode on ? Bec on normal mode theres def a lag but with sport on it feels much better & so with the commander will it feel like the next level to it ?
When I get a fancy modern car with fly by wire I'll get one. Actually my 06 Crown Vic was wire throttle, while it was ok it was nothing like my 04 Jeep GC, the last year for the old school cable throttle. Still has the best response around, nothing beats a direct throttle connection.
I bought my pedal commander two years and I used it how the instructions say to and it works great,easy to install and is place out of sight so my window doesn’t get broken to steal it. It has never given me a dead pedal or put my vehicle into limp mode. I use it everyday that I drive it and change the settings to what I’m doing and it feels like a different vehicle over stock. The pedal monster is probably good too but I bought my pedal commander for under $300 and I’m happy with it!
We're glad you've had good luck with it, some unlucky few haven't. If you ever change your mind, PedalMonster starts at $295 and has some exclusive features: ▪️ActiveSafety failsafe circuitry ▪️Gear Sense, detect when you are in reverse gear to activate the patented Reverse Safety feature. ▪️Transmission select, to toggle and adjust PedalMonster between manual vs automatic transmissions selections. ▪️Reverse Safety returns pedal to stock in reverse gear ▪️Adjustable Low-Speed Trim controls how fast sensitivity is added at slow speeds ▪️Module powered by +12v via OBD, not low-overhead pedal circuit like Pedal Commander and others.
Banks power is most definitely the top dog. As a customer I appreciate that you take safety seriously. I wouldn’t risk my family’s life using any of these other products. It’s flat out dangerous some of these companies. Just ordered the pedal monster 64310 for my 19’ f250 can’t wait to start towing with it.
Love to hear this feedback Andrew. Consider the fact that PC and all the other throttle boosters on the market (some have been around longer than others) have no safety features, we don't consider them on our level.
Gale Banks superior insight of the crucial details regarding internal combustion engine processes, beyond mechanical fundamentals, of how modern engines actually function with the numerous interrelated operational complexities involved.

There is one thing for sure Gale Banks does the research before making money, while the others make a quick buck to run from research. And fail at that.
You guys make the best stuff. I have a supercharged Tundra with a stout 4.88 rear. My tuner (Bully Dog) provides a twitchy throttle setting on top of an already hyper, Toyota stock throttle. As you imagine, when I just touch the pedal, it jumps. Combined with 4.88 rear and posi, it brings a smile to my face every time. It feels like a big diesel dumpling it’s torque at once. So, I would get the pedal monster and set it to “race!” 😆 If I had a diesel, I’d endow the truck with a full Banks system. It’s the only way to make huge, safe power.
Haha have actually experienced that with my pedal commander. On our Kia minivan the pedal delay is dumb it lugs so bad specially up a hill and the pedal commander was the only available. The first time it happened my van was bucking like a wild bull, got it updated and lasted two weeks before it was bucking again. Tossed it in the dumpster. Have had luck with sprint booster, but for my f150 I’m getting the pedal monster.
Man, I'm glad I found this video. I've seen a lot of the other PC videos all over YT, and almost sent a few dollars away to get one. I recently purchased a 2010 GMC Sierra. So now it's time to make it perform a little better. So glad I found this. I've always liked Gale's stuff anyway, you are professional with everything you do.
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting for my vehicle, it has all the features for a perfect throttle response. I hope it can be made to fit my pedal 😎
It plugs into the OBD port and the pedal connector. As long as they have one that fits the connector, it should work for almost any drive by wire vehicle. Even equipment like excavators and loaders have electronic throttle, it would theoretically work for those as well.
Got the standalone version. Took ten minutes to throw it in a 2021 Silverado 5.3. Running it on max city mode. So much nicer without the SPONGE PEDAL!!!! Yah, I tried it in an empty parking lot on max track mode just for the hell of it, ummmm....no. Wont be doing that on the street. Nice unit.
I put HP Tuners Scanner on my Ford Transit Custom. Ign on engine off I floored the throttle and the throttle opening went to 80% !!!! I literally ground away some of the plastic that stops the pedal moving down and got the throttle opening up to 94% when floored. The pedal now goes further down toward the ground AND I can feel more power. Scanner also shows higher fuel duty at full throttle.
Great video thanks for sharing - Lets say I have my Pedal Monster set up so when I have 20% pedal deflection and Pedal Monster is set to give me 40% power at that pedal position. Wouldn't it be just as easy to just push the throttle down to 40% to accomplish the same power and not bother with the cost of a Pedal Monster and not have to worry about reverse. Regardless of Pedal Monsters sensitivity or mode, your getting the same exact results and power the stock throttle provides. Pedal Monster just gives the driver an illusion he is getting more power, when all he has to do is push the pedal down a bit further to obtain the same exact results and power. ' While I'm a firm believer in most all of your products, I just can't wrap my head around any real use for a Pedal Monster when I can do the same thing with my stock throttle. Regards - M.J.Mas
I dig it. Planning on getting one for my 2020 Powerstroke. The guy from the TH-cam channel workplaytv just did a video review on this for his 2020 Powerstroke. Now, we need the Derringer for the 2020 Powerstroke.
Please add pedal lock feature that other devices like sprint booster has. There should be an option of keeping the pedal locked when the car turns on until a code is entered in app or iDash.... It should default to locked , and no need to lock it every time, however it should need an unlock code at startup (Exactly how your phone works)...
Didn’t see my 2017 Chevy SS sedan listed on the website. I’ll be calling you guys to check on this. Been holding off on getting a Pedal Commander because of mixed reviews. This is the unit I need for sure!!!
We believe our 64310 PedalMonster will work with your SS. Take a photo of your pedal connector and text it to us at (800) 601-8072. We can tell you right away if it'll work.
Thanks for the quick reply!! Can’t see the plug without dropping some interior trim panels. I found pics of new and used pedal assemblies online including the female plug. Seems to be the exact plug found on the 2017 Camaro and also on my 2500HD. Thinking more about it this should be a simple plug and play especially since other SS owners have installed Pedal Commanders. Will be ordering soon!
Wish you did some BMW stuff for gas cars because you turn diesels up to 11! My 2002 BMW Z3 M roadster is a monster but more power is better. My 0-60 times are 3.8sec but still off the line it feels a little slow but once moving it does better but I’m sure it’d be better with one of yours if you made it.
I had a 2008 cobalt manual that had terrible throttle mapping. If you were rolling, it would go into a different throttle map that would make it dangerous to drive. Imagine youre at a stop sign and when you let off the brake the car rolls backwards, I mean an inch, the throttle map would soften and you would stall the car. I had the same problem with my 2009 corolla, that mysteriously disappeared when I unplugged the Abs pump and disabled the vehicle speed sensors. When the ecm thought the car wasn't rolling, the throttle response was almost too sharp.
This is one of the best mods I have bought for my duramax! Pedal monster is amazing I love it makes my truck drive the way it should!! Absolutely amazing product!!
Hi Gale, I genuinely admire your work. A true legend in the industry, seriously. Could I use this on a Z06 Corvette to limit maximum power output? I am thinking for track day work if someone green wants to get behind the wheel I can take it from 600+HP down to say 60-70% max throttle? I am assuming this would be a simple coding change, but I have no idea how complex your algorithms are!
I love the Pedal Monster.... except for the 50% of the time it forgets my settings when I park the truck. Hopefully the tech support department figures it out or I'll need to return it.
Jerry, please email techsupport@bankspower.com and they'll troubleshoot it. As you can imagine, it's not supposed to reset when the power is shut off. We'll get it sorted out ASAP.
@@bankspower Thanks - I hope they can sort this out. I have the new 7.3 gas engine in my F250. When it's working, the Pedal Monster makes the truck very responsive - as it should be.
Wow....glad I still have "old tech" and a throttle cable with adjustment...for my application, I kinda wanted a larger 4.0l Mustang throttle body. Can't do it, it's fly by wire...might be able to run a 2011+ 4.0l ECU which gives me a curve that's adjustable, but the good ol' cable I think will be fine. I've flown airplanes with both wire and cable....one thing wire will NEVER have is positive feedback. Amazing product Mr. Banks' company has designed, but I want to fly/drive the machine, not it do it for me.
I recently purchased a PedalMonster for my 2018 Colorado z71. I'm enjoying it very much, but I wish that the app would allow the user to create and save custom, independent settings for each configuration. As it is right now, if I make a change in one mode - city for example - it also affects the other two modes - sport & track.
That did happen on a 2 lane rd while tryin to pass a Trouble Maker in the front of the pack, 80mph on the straight and 30mph in modest curves. Needless to say the Wife's White Knuckles on the dash was her risking both hands IF the Air Bags Deployed. Ram Turbo "Actuator's" need some serious attention.
Just installed on my 550K LBZ and what a difference out of the hole! Now is the just placebo? Does it change the speed, or is it just like pushing the pedal further? Would 0-60 times still be the same as going WOT?
Do you guys or are you going to make a version for Mercedes Benz or just the manufacturer that are aren’t built well. My throttle on my C450 isn’t too bad, but our Jeep and Corvette need some serious thc because we don’t build anything but junk here in the states and I’m not gonna waste my time on them. But I’d love to dial in my Benz with one of these. Please let me know when you guys make one for German cars! I’ll be there first one to buy one!
I recently bought a retired police vehicle and the throttle response seems pretty good. But I cannot find definitive information on the actual engine tune. Like all of the RPO codes they are frustratingly vague and that goes not only for the engine specs but for brakes, and suspension as well. So I am just guessing when it comes to what performance "improvements" would actually be an improvement over what comes with the 9C1 package. This little LFX will happily spin the front wheels once the Traction control is turned off but I have no way of knowing if the PedalMonster will actually be an improvement.
Ed, remember, the PedalMonster doesn't add power. It adds throttle response. Meaning, it changes the pedal position relative to the actual throttle by way of the ECM. What it will do is add responsiveness, making it more fun to drive.
I should grab one of these for my 2011 f150 5.0. The pedal "lag" is terrible. It feels like the truck doesn't want to accelerate until it decides to just shift down.
We think it would help kill the pedal lag you are experiencing, see the link below for the kit that fits your truck. Also, check out our Automind flash programmer for even more power.

@@bankspower I'm considering tuning my truck. The best gas around me is 91 octane and it's not even good 91. I have a supercharged 2020 mustang gt with more than enough power to go have fun with. Normally I just run 87 octane in my truck as in the daily driver however in a couple months I'll be pulling a vehicle about 1,200 miles so I'll probably put in 91 at that point. Do you guys offer a 91 octane Towing tune for my truck?
Wouldn't you want track mode to be the most linear throttle response? With all that exponential dialed into the gas pedal it seems like it would be hard to accurately modulate the throttle around a race track.
When we refer to "track", we're referring to road racing, not 1/4 mile. You can completely customize each mode so you have plenty of modulation. Your type of engine will determine which mode you choose. For example, with a turbo engine, you wouldn't want a linear response. You want the majority of the response early to keep it in boost.
@@bankspower Interesting I feel like it would be harder to control wheel spin out of a corner with an aggressive throttle curve. Turbo applications do seem like they could benefit from this but may end up lugging the turbo at low rpm's.
Alex Ligenza Alex, These are adjustable from initial throttle hit (how hard they hit, when they hit and when they taper off). You can make them do anything you want. They will be MUCH more accurate than ANY factory accelerator pedal, in any facet.
Guess I'll check one out if the PC fails in my Ram diesel. 2 years, still ok, except, Ecodiesel has a bit of turbo lag. Made in USA is a big plus for me, though.
Very good explanation thank you for you time. Can you please tell me if this power monster is available for a 2021 charge scat pack 392 Hemi. Please let me know part number. Thank you so much for your assistance.
he is ne f the nly people who can back up all his claims. and then some more data behind what you could ever use. This man is a freaking genius. I sure hope people are absorbing all of his knowledge. if I had the money he would build my diesel truck for me .
Okay, so appaerantly I just crawled out from under my rock and just learned of this technology. My 08 Colorado is the first vehicle Ive ever owned thats drive by wire. Ive been researching the different devices and all the reviews and videos, good and bad, including rhe different "beliefs" of how these things work. So, my question is this..... At first I got the impression that these devices did 2 things, increase communication time(response time) from the PPS's to the ECM, and also from the ECM to throttle plate motor. And second, modifies throttle plate opening speed to be proportional to throttle position speed(I read somewhere that OEMs slow the deployment speed of the throttle plate motor to a certain max speed so it can only open up at a certain max rate even if you floor it). Then Ive been seeing videos where people's testing shows that all these things really do is modify the throttle plate position relative to pedal position. In other words..... (Stock: 20% pedal=30 degrees throttle plate open W/ device: 20%pedal=45 degrees throttle plate open.) First, is this basically the case?? And if so, is that all the Banks module is doing as well? I get that the Banks one is more advanced and probably modifies in an active variable fashion based on trim settings, but is that still the basic idea of how it works?
My awful 1961 White Compact 3 ton has a metal accelerator pedal. I had a 1973 International 1/2 ton, It might have had a metal pedal. Can't think of other examples.
When I ran the Pedal Commander in mine, I was coming to a stop with a car in front of me and the truck lunged forward and would not stop, causing me to hit the car in front of me. After that, I took it off and sold it.
And this is why Banks is by FAR #1 for ANY aftermarket accessories etc. Everything they do is SO far above and beyond everyone else it’s not even funny. Fricken love it, keep up the great work Banks!!
I just installed the Pedal Monster and it is worth every penny !!! It’s like a new truck 👍 I’m a tech dummy and I set it up the first try ! Thank you very much Banks crew , awesome.

I had a 2008 cobalt manual that had terrible throttle mapping. If you were rolling, it would go into a different throttle map that would make it dangerous to drive.
Imagine youre at a stop sign and when you let off the brake the car rolls backwards, I mean an inch, the throttle map would soften and you would stall the car.
I had the same problem with my 2009 corolla, that mysteriously disappeared when I unplugged the Abs pump and disabled the vehicle speed sensors. When the ecm thought the car wasn't rolling, the throttle response was almost too sharp.
This is one of the best mods I have bought for my duramax! Pedal monster is amazing I love it makes my truck drive the way it should!! Absolutely amazing product!!
Hi Gale, I genuinely admire your work. A true legend in the industry, seriously. Could I use this on a Z06 Corvette to limit maximum power output? I am thinking for track day work if someone green wants to get behind the wheel I can take it from 600+HP down to say 60-70% max throttle? I am assuming this would be a simple coding change, but I have no idea how complex your algorithms are!
I need this in my life
I love the Pedal Monster.... except for the 50% of the time it forgets my settings when I park the truck. Hopefully the tech support department figures it out or I'll need to return it.
Jerry, please email techsupport@bankspower.com and they'll troubleshoot it. As you can imagine, it's not supposed to reset when the power is shut off. We'll get it sorted out ASAP.
@@bankspower Thanks - I hope they can sort this out. I have the new 7.3 gas engine in my F250. When it's working, the Pedal Monster makes the truck very responsive - as it should be.
Volkswagen Passat tdi ... there is a big community that you can support with your innovations..
Will this work with GM Performance, stand alone engine controllers?? To fix the shamefully slow pedal response.
Thanks.
As long as the pedal connector fits, it'll work with the vehicle. PedalMonster doesn't care what the ECM is.
@@bankspower
Excellent, thanks for the reply.
@@bankspower I just got the derringer can I be a test mule for the pedal monster lol I'm broke now
Wow....glad I still have "old tech" and a throttle cable with adjustment...for my application, I kinda wanted a larger 4.0l Mustang throttle body. Can't do it, it's fly by wire...might be able to run a 2011+ 4.0l ECU which gives me a curve that's adjustable, but the good ol' cable I think will be fine.
I've flown airplanes with both wire and cable....one thing wire will NEVER have is positive feedback. Amazing product Mr. Banks' company has designed, but I want to fly/drive the machine, not it do it for me.
Great video! This gentleman is awesome! I’m ordering one for my 2019 F250 with 6.2l gas engine.
How’d you like it? I’m thinking about getting one for mine.
I recently purchased a PedalMonster for my 2018 Colorado z71. I'm enjoying it very much, but I wish that the app would allow the user to create and save custom, independent settings for each configuration. As it is right now, if I make a change in one mode - city for example - it also affects the other two modes - sport & track.
That would be cool, we'll pass the suggestion along to our development team.
You’re a frickin national treasure.
Should've went on Shark Tank! I love my unit and highly recommend it. Thank you Gale!
That did happen on a 2 lane rd while tryin to pass a Trouble Maker in the front of the pack, 80mph on the straight and 30mph in modest curves.
Needless to say the Wife's White Knuckles on the dash was her risking both hands IF the Air Bags Deployed.
Ram Turbo "Actuator's" need some serious attention.
You are a magician or a hell of a great engineer! ...>>> I like to think with your own background, passion and patriotism seems to me you are both...
Wow, thank you! Love to hear this from our fans.
Gale. Thanks for your wonderful products. I would love to get one of these if i dont win one on another channel ;)
Now I wish there was a pillar mount for the gouges so they weren't on the windshield
I was just browsing on their website and they do have pillar mounts. single and triple. Not sure about doubles though.
Just installed on my 550K LBZ and what a difference out of the hole! Now is the just placebo? Does it change the speed, or is it just like pushing the pedal further? Would 0-60 times still be the same as going WOT?
Well done!
Do you guys or are you going to make a version for Mercedes Benz or just the manufacturer that are aren’t built well. My throttle on my C450 isn’t too bad, but our Jeep and Corvette need some serious thc because we don’t build anything but junk here in the states and I’m not gonna waste my time on them. But I’d love to dial in my Benz with one of these. Please let me know when you guys make one for German cars! I’ll be there first one to buy one!
European is next on our list of vehicles. Mercedes, BMW, and Audi are all on our list.
I recently bought a retired police vehicle and the throttle response seems pretty good. But I cannot find definitive information on the actual engine tune. Like all of the RPO codes they are frustratingly vague and that goes not only for the engine specs but for brakes, and suspension as well. So I am just guessing when it comes to what performance "improvements" would actually be an improvement over what comes with the 9C1 package. This little LFX will happily spin the front wheels once the Traction control is turned off but I have no way of knowing if the PedalMonster will actually be an improvement.
Ed, remember, the PedalMonster doesn't add power. It adds throttle response. Meaning, it changes the pedal position relative to the actual throttle by way of the ECM. What it will do is add responsiveness, making it more fun to drive.
Those are some gangster socks, Gale
You should see him Crip walk... 🤣
I should grab one of these for my 2011 f150 5.0. The pedal "lag" is terrible. It feels like the truck doesn't want to accelerate until it decides to just shift down.
We think it would help kill the pedal lag you are experiencing, see the link below for the kit that fits your truck. Also, check out our Automind flash programmer for even more power.

@@bankspower I'm considering tuning my truck. The best gas around me is 91 octane and it's not even good 91. I have a supercharged 2020 mustang gt with more than enough power to go have fun with. Normally I just run 87 octane in my truck as in the daily driver however in a couple months I'll be pulling a vehicle about 1,200 miles so I'll probably put in 91 at that point. Do you guys offer a 91 octane Towing tune for my truck?
My favorite Mustang mod was a throttle remap;)
I know it will never happen, but I would love one for my 2002 Prowler

What’s the part number for a 2019 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi
Wish you had stuff for an 02 chevy s10 pickup with a 2.2 a lil bump will be nice
Wouldn't you want track mode to be the most linear throttle response? With all that exponential dialed into the gas pedal it seems like it would be hard to accurately modulate the throttle around a race track.
When we refer to "track", we're referring to road racing, not 1/4 mile. You can completely customize each mode so you have plenty of modulation. Your type of engine will determine which mode you choose. For example, with a turbo engine, you wouldn't want a linear response. You want the majority of the response early to keep it in boost.
@@bankspower Interesting I feel like it would be harder to control wheel spin out of a corner with an aggressive throttle curve. Turbo applications do seem like they could benefit from this but may end up lugging the turbo at low rpm's.
Alex Ligenza Alex, These are adjustable from initial throttle hit (how hard they hit, when they hit and when they taper off). You can make them do anything you want. They will be MUCH more accurate than ANY factory accelerator pedal, in any facet.
Guess I'll check one out if the PC fails in my Ram diesel. 2 years, still ok, except, Ecodiesel has a bit of turbo lag. Made in USA is a big plus for me, though.
Very good explanation thank you for you time. Can you please tell me if this power monster is available for a 2021 charge scat pack 392 Hemi. Please let me know part number. Thank you so much for your assistance.
he is ne f the nly people who can back up all his claims. and then some more data behind what you could ever use. This man is a freaking genius. I sure hope people are absorbing all of his knowledge. if I had the money he would build my diesel truck for me .
sorry .. should of said : one of the only people.

Okay, so appaerantly I just crawled out from under my rock and just learned of this technology. My 08 Colorado is the first vehicle Ive ever owned thats drive by wire. Ive been researching the different devices and all the reviews and videos, good and bad, including rhe different "beliefs" of how these things work. So, my question is this.....
At first I got the impression that these devices did 2 things, increase communication time(response time) from the PPS's to the ECM, and also from the ECM to throttle plate motor. And second, modifies throttle plate opening speed to be proportional to throttle position speed(I read somewhere that OEMs slow the deployment speed of the throttle plate motor to a certain max speed so it can only open up at a certain max rate even if you floor it).
Then Ive been seeing videos where people's testing shows that all these things really do is modify the throttle plate position relative to pedal position. In other words.....
(Stock: 20% pedal=30 degrees throttle plate open
W/ device: 20%pedal=45 degrees throttle plate open.)
First, is this basically the case??
And if so, is that all the Banks module is doing as well? I get that the Banks one is more advanced and probably modifies in an active variable fashion based on trim settings, but is that still the basic idea of how it works?
15:30 Remember when gas pedals were made of metal?
My awful 1961 White Compact 3 ton has a metal accelerator pedal. I had a 1973 International 1/2 ton, It might have had a metal pedal. Can't think of other examples.
But the best pedal is the one twist with your hand.
When I ran the Pedal Commander in mine, I was coming to a stop with a car in front of me and the truck lunged forward and would not stop, causing me to hit the car in front of me. After that, I took it off and sold it.
Your pedal monster seems to be the safest one of all, so I will get it. Hey Banks, what throttle body mode do have for my 2010 traverse?
I thought about purchasing this but it doesn't come with the feature I wanted (nor does Pedal Commander). Oh well.
Please make one for the 2014 Chevy Spark, but my odb2 is being used by an Allstate Drivewise so I don't know how they would plug-in both the same time
