I have run it for a few days now. Man what a difference!
I'm running it on the regular sport setting. This is how the truck should be from the factory. It got rid of 95% of the drive by wire delay on the throttle. There is a sport plus setting but I don't need it in my opinion.
The Pedal Commander coupled with the 5Star tune really seems to be the perfect combo.

Great feedback, thanks! My concern with the tune is that the throttle strategies may not be compatible with the pedal commander and the two may fight each other?? Just a thought, I'm of the opinion that it would have to be one or the other. For me it's a solution until the warranty is up.

Yep, it works. My only gripe is that there's no compensation in the shift strategy for the new throttle position. Meaning, in sport mode, 0 gain, a small amount of pedal input at highway speeds commands a downshift due to the higher throttle command. Eco mode is false, it's just stock, plain and simple. City seems to be the sweet spot, I'll try it on the highway to see if the shifting problem goes away. I'm also going to try super sport mode turned all the way up with traction control off and manual shifting...

City mode with the gain set about half way up is very livable. Used sport mode some more and found that being a little bit tender with the throttle on the highway yields great results. Good product so far.

+1 for the pedal commander. Installed mine today and it is a huge improvement over the stock pedal. I did not have issues with the shift points, but drove mostly on the highway for two hours today.
EDIT: After having used this for a couple days I find it to be a little too much acceleration too fast for my liking "mostly around town". Anyone else want to try it, Ill give you a deal!
I bought it for my 2017 6.2L F250 (Not sure what other years it will work on but, Their website list the PC-18 for 2011-2016 and the 2017).

I've been driving around for a couple of days with the pedal commander and I'm happy with it. Feels way more responsive. I use the city mode. The other modes are way too touchy for me. Except economy witch is a joke! Is it worth 300 bucks No.
