Pedal Commander works!

We have a 2016 Ram 2500 Diesel 6 speed automatic transmission. Great truck but horrible lag on initial gas increase after stop and same thing while driving at say 30th constant speed and you need to accelerate quickly for some reason. I'm by no means a leading or impatient driver, but this situation is exhausting. . I've looked at chips and programmers with tons of conflicting information and sketchy reviews and to be honest I don't feel like the truck needs more power anyway, just better power management. Sign in to Pedal Commander. We recently bought and installed. It's cheaper than many alternatives and insanely easy to install. Simple and direct plug and play. I waited 30 minutes after starting the truck and placed my keyless fob about 80 feet away to prevent the truck from working in any way with the throttle position sensor disconnected to connect. Downloaded the app to my phone, started the truck, entered the serial number in the app and that's it. To be honest it's easy. I started with City without a boost and noticed that it got better. I hit the zoom button and tried again, and yes I could tell it got even better. I went through all the options one by one and felt the difference in each mode and power option. I like the sport mode somewhere between 0 and max, haven't decided which one is better yet, but it's the real deal. You don't need a programmer if you just want a better feel and more responsive Cummins 6.7 Diesel Ram like me. There's still some lag when cruising steadily at around 30 and instant acceleration is required as the transmission downshifts when you step on the accelerator. pedals, but it's MUCH better. Also, I was very concerned that it would be difficult to maintain a consistent speed with this mod. That's partly true, but not difficult at all. I really like the feel of the truck compared to the original and find it easier to drive but also easier to pick up speed. I noticed that the average was about 1.5mpg lower, but with all the play I've done, I deserve it. I will update after the game factor subsides. Haven't seen any smoke yet which is important to me as I hate black smoke shit. Also, I didn't understand the Pedal Commander promotional presentation. It has multiple power options in EVERY power band, not just a play on words as I assumed. So many people who claim to sell can do this, but not this. Sorry for the long reading.
