Anyone have a Pedal Commander? What setting/settings do you leave it on?

I tried one but went back to my Diablo sport tuner.

I’m hearing Black Bear tuning handle the pedal issue with their tune.

Didn't like it? Wish they had them for the nbs.

Nope.

I tried the Diablo, then tried the PC. I went back to the Diablo. Yes, I know that you can use them both together but I felt (butt dyno?) that the tuner solved the issue of the pedal lag and boosted performance a tad more. Also, can't change any transmission settings, idle RPM's, etc either just the PC.

Do you like the Diablo? Is it worth it?

I have one on my 2015 Tahoe along with a Diablo Tune. I have it set on Sport and really like the way it increases the throttle response.

Problem is BB cannot tune 2017's or 2018's.
Just to clarify we can tune the 17's and 18's, if it is an 8 speed it is engine only tuning, if it is a 6 speed it is engine and transmission tuning.

We also have a solution on tuning the 17+ 8 speed transmissions involving swapping the tcm.

When did that change? I contacted you and you told me you could not do it. The only way was an Auto Cal.

So what are my options for a 2017 Escalade? What do you mean by swapping the TCM? Very interested.....

The AutoCal is the only way to tune your vehicle.

With the 2017+ 8 speed transmission, it has changed, we did some testing with the TCM swap, and it worked for some and not for others, and now we figured out how to know for sure if it will work with your vehicle right away.

Shoot us a quick email and we can go over the details.
