If you have any warranty, that might not be a choice if you want to do something about the tip in.

Warranty isn’t an issue my throttle controller is easily removed.

I do not have a warranty any longer and I didn't "settle" for the throttle controller. The way I look at it, these trucks have TONS of horse power in stock format, and I don't need more, however these throttle controllers really help deliver the power sooner without going wide open. My wife's 2020 Honda Pilot has a push button on the dash for economy mode, turn it off and it comes alive...almost like a throttle controller is what I would describe it as. It truly is an experience one must feel while driving. Yesterday I put it in "track mode" #10 and from a stop I smoked the back tires (35's), never did that before with this truck, I have it in city mode #5 and I'm real happy with this setting.

My '97 7.3 had the Banks goodies back in the day, Swamps injectors, Tymar cai, etc, it was fun but compared to my '17, it wasn't even close. These newer diesels are insane stock, and now with a throttle control it is alive the entire power band...without a tune and a mere cost of $262, plug and play.

I did the AFM dongle my C7. Didn't want to try it here since I will probably risk a tuner and have more say over the truck that a dongle that is a "one trick pony" which was my complaint on the C7.

Hi - also going to reach out to Banks support today - but anyone else getting faults on their Banks Pedal Monster?
The Code is: 1.2: APP2 Input Voltage Out of Range.
You need to unplug from the OBD2 and it will reset. But the next time I shut the truck off, it goes to a fault.
I recalibrated the pedal - that didnt help either.
Wondering if its related to firmware vs a software update on the truck....

All I can offer at this point is to verify your iDash has the latest firmware, thats probably going to be the first thing they will ask you. Also you can plug an OBD2 code reader into your truck to make sure it is communicating properly from the port.
