New camp coffee solution. I prefer a freshly ground pour-over, but it's too much of a faff while camping, and all the required bits, etc. This seems way easier.

It is a power commander, it is used to lie to the engine computer to give you better mpg, torque, better acceleration, etc. depending on which setting he chooses.

I'm curious to see how that works for you, especially in the ECO mode for mileage improvement.

Can the engine be damaged by it in any way. Does it work on all engines with computers ?

We went out to eat at sonic last night after i hooked it up in city mode +4........wow just wow. It works .
I wont be using eco mode unless im off road it reduces the sensitivity of the pedal so i have to pit the pedal all the way to the floor to move.
Its basically a signal amplifier for the throttle sensor. It makes the truck act like it has a throttle cable not wires

I will, but I probably cant afford it anyway. Funny how different folks have different strokes. What is a must have is terrifying at times. Makes one wonder if they should even leave home. Not criticizing, just commenting on my personal feelings.

Not all of us only do overlanding, camping out of a truck is only a means to stay offroad longer. Some of us have other passions as well like racing our vehicles, rock crawling or just having a better vehicle than others stock stuff. If your ever at a stoplight and had a drunk barreling directly at you would you rather a 4 second delay of the gas pedal or immediate response to be able to avoid the collision? Or off road the rear of your rig starts to slide off the trail to a 100ft or more drop would you rather the delayed pedal or immediate response? All that aside i feel the same when hearing about overland trips to rv parks and those who spend 90% of the time on pavement with a 4x4 of any type.

A haaaaaaaaa, you have electronically actuated throttle response ! How does that get you more horsepower and a bunch of traffic tickets. How much more horsepower will it give your engine ? I am dumbfounded by all the new automobile electronic technology.
I watch Outlaw street racers on TV and those guys use computers to dial in the horsepower they want for the various street surfaces they race on. They have engines that produce 2000 horsepower all because of computers. Amazing how electronics can take the same engine I use to build and struggled to get 400 horses and give it 2000 horses with just at touch of your finger on a screen.

It just amplifies the throttle signal which in turn tells the computer to modify the shift points, there is no horsepower increase i still have 190hp its just that i can fully use that hp when wanted.
On speeding tickets i havent had one since 1999 or so when i still had a mazda 95 rx7 and was into drag racing.
Btw that show is so fake they claim to have the fastest street car but not a single person rolls up in their car, all on trailers and none have license plates and registration where im from that aint street racing especially when the local cops close down a rd for you because the production company is paying them for it.

I wasn't criticizing at all, I understand your needs for performance if your doing all of what you stated. I'm an old time racer and car builder myself. Technology has passed me by as well as my being able to communicate the point I was trying to make.
i have the cyclonic style, but I like the droopie as well.
