I don't think it's a programming issue as much as it is the difference in HP/TQ available to you. The Powerstroke has gobs of low-end torque and being able to access every bit of it versus the computer rationing it to you, the harder you press the pedal is pretty impressive! My truck feels like a totally different truck now and I couldn't imagine how it'd run if it were deleted and had a tune on it.

That may be part of it, the diesel is an incredible powerplant. That being said, in my truck with the 6.2l, you mash the pedal and it waits a beat before responding at all. The downshift and engine response are noticeably delayed. It doesn't matter how much TQ/HP it has if the PCM doesn't respond immediately. I'm not griping at you, just comparing notes.

I recently bought the SOLER unit and installed it in my 2019 6.2L gasser.
The unit does exactly what it claims to do, changes the throttle signal ramp based on pedal position.
What it does not do is eliminate the delay when you step on the accelerator pedal. It still has the delay before downshifting and applying power. This is what I was hoping would be eliminated or at least reduced. I suppose to truly eliminate that throttle delay will require getting a tune for the PCM.
I'm certainly not bashing the SOLER unit, it does what it claims to do. I think I had unreasonable expectations for it.

Even with it set at the mild “Sport 2” setting it reacts instantly at any speed, up hill, into the wind or from a dead stop.

I have now had my Soler in for a week. I do like it. I set it to comfort 8 on Tuesday (fun). I tested it on economy 8 on Wednesday. Don't do that. It makes the hesitation much worse. I believe the comfort
3 or 4 is the most serviceable setting. Anything higher and you smile too much. I did a test from a stop with a lot of pedal and it still had a hesitation as the ecm tried to decide what I was doing. This is my
3rd vehicle with fly by wire and the only one that has the dead spot. (come on Ford, fix this) The Soler does make the driving experience better.
