The one thing I miss the most about my old F150 was the power pedals, the gas pedal on the new f250 just doesn't feel right it seems too far away in conjunction with the brake pedal. I solved that problem today, I removed the 3 bolts holding the gas pedal replaced them with 50mm long m8 bolts and spaced the pedal out using 3/8 nuts as spacers behind the gas pedal. I experimented and found that 2 spacers seemed to work best for me. This made a huge difference in comfort and also response from the gas pedal. this is probably the cheapest and easiest mod that I have ever done it cost a whole $2.00 dollars, took all of 10 minutes to do and has made the world of difference.

Didn't your SD come with the power adjusted pedal button behind your steering wheel on left.?
