Hi, I'm Wade from Thoroughbred Diesel, and
today we're going to be showing you the Banks
PedalMonster.
The Banks PedalMonster is Banks Engineering
answer to all of the throttle sensitivity
boosters that are out there on the market
from other manufacturers today.
Now, of course, Banks has taken it another
step.
They have integrated a lot of different features
into their throttle sensitivity controller.
That's unique to their unit.
Now, the cool thing about this is, is this
can work in several different functions with
or without your existing Banks products.
Let's talk about that for just a minute.
Now, this works as a standalone unit, this
throttle sensitivity controller does, with
a free downloadable app.
It works on iOS or Android devices.
And again, the app is free to download so
you can control this right over your smart
phone.
Or, it works with your existing Derringer
that has the Super Gauge and the DataMonster,
or can work with a Derringer with just the
plain switch, or it can just work with the
plain old iDash with the Super Gauge and the
DataMonster monitoring system.
So, this integrates with that, and then ties
all of your Banks products together.
So, let's talk about what the PedalMonster
does itself, or the features of it that we
talked about earlier.
Now, this is an OBD2 connected device, so
that means that not only is it going to be
supplying the voltages to your APPS for better
throttle sensitivity.
It is also going to be bringing in some safety
features as well, and then also, getting some
feedback from the ECM as to what's actually
going on with your motor at the time.
It also has safety features built into it.
Banks is really big on that.
It makes sure that they get the safety features
in here.
That protects your truck and yourself as well.
So, one of the safety features this has is
a backup safety feature.
So, when you put the truck into reverse, this
is going to turn the PedalMonster off so you
won't be getting that throttle sensitivity
backing a trailer up or something of that
nature when you're trying to be a little bit
more careful.
Now, it's also got active safety circuitry
inside of it, so if you have something that
happens to it, circuit board fires or whatever,
you're not going to lose your throttle control
while you're out on the road, and then just
basically have a dead truck until you get
this unhooked.
So, that's a really, really nice feature of
it.
Now, let's talk about the nitty-gritty, the
power levels of it.
Now, this has actually got 30 different power
levels that it has.
It works in three different throttle sensitivity
segments, and that would be the city, the
sport, and the track sensitivity levels.
And each one of those three has got 10 different
levels inside of it.
And you know, Adam has panned down to the
throttle sensitivity booster, or the PedalMonster
here, so let's go ahead and show you the PedalMonster.
So, inside of the package, what do you get?
You get the PedalMonster unit itself,, some
instructions, this OBD2 drop.
We talked about the OBD2 connectivity.
This is a standalone unit.
You're going to need this harness going into
the PedalMonster itself, then you just get
a kit that comes with some zip ties and what
not.
So, this is a very sleek little unit.
It's got your serial numbers and everything,
and what firmware in it, all over the unit.
This plugs in at your APPS, and then you have
your hookup for the OBD2 that goes into that,
and then over to your OBD2.
So, really, really nice there.
Slim little unit, very affordable as well.
All right.
Now, this set up has also got a low-speed
trim control.
And the low-speed trim control, what that's
going to do is you can work inside of the
low-speed trim control to keep you from burning
tires off, burning any rubber, peeling out,
whatever I'm trying to say here.
Wet roads, things of that nature, so you can
control that right through the app.
Makes it a really, really, really, really
nice as far as coming off of idle to make
sure that the truck is not getting too squirrelly
with you.
So, another level of protection that Banks
gives you there.
And then, finally, this leaves no footprint.
So, on your newer vehicles, this is not going
to leave a footprint in the ECM.
You're not going to have problems with your
dealership because of it.
It's just a really, really nice unit that
you can install on your truck with peace of
mind and don't have to worry about anything,
and it's going to work for you.
So, we're going to be doing an installation
of this.
This is a standalone setup, so this is what
you get in your standalone kit, your OBD2
and your PedalMonster itself.
We're going to be putting this on a newer
model gasoline Chevrolet truck.
The PedalMonster is out for several, several
gasoline applications as well as the diesel
applications as well.
We have a full list of those on our website.
So, we'll link you inside of this video to
the page where you can go and purchase the
PedalMonster for your vehicle, as well as
our installation video that you can check
out as well.
So, thank you for watching this video.
