    Save your money. Just press the gas down more, does the same thing as the PC. :stirthepot:

    It rained so I drove a little over 10 miles in 4 wheel drive. It goes in 4 wheel drive fairly quick but takes about 10 seconds to pop out. We will see if that will improve with more use.

    Yeah I own a pedal commander. It's my right foot. Push the gas and it goes. Push the gas harder and it goes faster. It's pretty amazing. Used the saved money for other more useful things. An you do realize the pedal commander gives the vehicle no more power than it already has so it is not a different truck. It is basically pressing the gas harder for you, giving you perceived power. Smoke and mirrors for $300 :evil:

    It takes away the delayed response, no matter how hard or fast you push your pedal, there’s a delay. Maybe you should save up your pennies and buy one then report back with actual experience. :rolleyes:

    Nice. I was about to pull the trigger on the pop n lock, and then I found the OEM on here, combined with the free shipping deal, for a few extra bucks I figured it'd be worth it!

    Haha, do it! I didnt see any major difference in the install on my 2016 vs the "18+ specific instructions"

    You're decades of opinions on something you don't own, or have ever tried, adds absolutely nothing to this conversation.

    Who said I have never tried it? I certainly didn't. Sorry you got so triggered about a difference of opinion from yours. But...IMO the PC is a complete waste of money. YMMV :evil:

    You are definitely not alone! I planned to replace the kitchen faucet yesterday...about a 30-minute job. After I got under the cabinet, I see the hot water shut off valve has a small leak (30+ minutes to go find an extra one in my garage), well I also have to cut the CPVC, put a tee in it for the dishwasher - not a big deal until you have to find one in your mess of a garage. I took the cabinet doors off to make it easier and when I went to put them back on, I see each one has a bad hinge where the closing mechanism is no longer working - back to the garage to find my box of replacement hinges. And last, the caulk between the granite and the backsplash behind the sink is yuck. So let's scrape that up and replace. A

    All in all, a 30-minute job becomes 2+ hours.

    Wallygator, I had that same situation. 4WD gets a fair amount of use here in Michigan in the winter.
    When switching from 4WD back to 2WD, gently accelerate after moving the knob and it will transfer much more quickly.

    Speaking of knob...I gotta call my brother...:blahblah:

    Good I'm glad it's not just me, not that I wish bad on anyone, but it's good to know it doesn't just happen to me on everything I do. Yeah those BD lights in the bumper definitely set me up for frustration and failure, they got me on the first.

    I'm glad it's not just me either. My wife always gives me a hard time when I do something. She says, why does it always take longer that you say it will? I say, it's just the Ancic way ‍♂️. Lol. I guess I learned it from my dad.

    I've come to find with whatever you're working on, figure out how much time you think it'll take, then add 50%. Go into it with that new number in your head and you won't be (as) disappointed when you finally come out on the other side :welder:.

    Well the response time is night and day different and in sport it feels like I gained horsepower. Now I know I didn't gain hp but that's what it feels like. So far I love it, as for mpg I'm not sure I've only had a day but there is an eco setting that I plan on trying on my next road trip.

    Installed aluminum black anodized ABS Guards on all 4 wheels today. I had rocks kick up one time in some gravel on my 2010 and it lit the dash up and ABS brake warning. Feel better now having these shielded and pretty vulnerable and expensive to replace if damaged. Pretty easy install, stainless screws. Did have to align the cable relief a bit better after pics.
