Reset Throttle!

Resetting Throttle Response.
I came across this video, bored and just playing around, and tried it on my 2013.......and it works!
Turn the ignition key to the run position, then slowly press the accelerator pedal to the floor. Then let the pedal up fast, then turn the ignition off.
Do this 3 times, and on the last time, also turn the ignition off.

I was amazed that that the lagging pedal response was almost completely gone!

Ya, but it'll return to where it was within a 100 miles or so, the truck learns how you drive. You can also do that by doing a KAM reset if you have a SCTX4 tuner, or disconnect the batt for 15/20 minutes. But it will still relearn your habits.

Well crap, I though I stumbled onto something.
I can't stand that hesitation when I want it to GO!. If I didn't have any warranty, I'd have a good tuner installed in a second.

Ya, I can't stand it either. Likely no one notices, but when I kick the go pedal down, it means I wanna get going. Always feels like seconds before it'll go. Normal driving I don't notice the lag.

Yes, it's a placebo. It doesn't really do anything.
