    I had purchasd the throttle controller some months back along with the k and n cold air intake. I love it. I tell anyone who will listen about it. Has not caused any issues with the check engine light or anything else. The pick up i get when i hit the gas is just incredible. It has many differnt modes to choose from. I give it a definite thumbs up.

    Great MODs and great presentation. I must point out that when installing new headlights, you must open the access cover in each wheel well to release the lock by pushing up on the white latch on the rear of the headlight and relock it on the new assembly by pulling down.

    Added catch can a couple of years ago. Absolutely worth it. The amount of oil caught in this thing is astounding. Empty it about every 2-3 monthes, usually getting about 8-9 ounces of oil.

    for the throttle controller, just know that there can be issues, they can throw accelerator pedal codes, which will have your engine light on. as well as a lot of people who have cold winters say the controller starts to have problems below -5, causing the controller to either over rev the engine, or put the truck in limp mode.

    Throttle controller is a bonus, from the factory Ram shift points are for fuel economy and can be really annoying especially when attempting to pass other vehicles on the highway. Rams take so long to downshift it can make passing dangerous. My controller is a 9 Drive, same as the one in the video, Amazon $30 Canadian, well worth it, and it does not affect your engine computer just your throttle position signal sent to the computer.

    There is absolutely no need for a catch can on a stock motor. If you regularly change your oil you will never have enough blowby to contaminate the airflow to the intake. If it were necessary, the factory would've put them on.

If the first thing that a customer does to a vehicle is slap a bolt on part and void the warranty to prevent the vehicle from a catastrophic failure then what are the engineers doing. As a tech I’ve ONLY seen and heard cars lasting long miles with just a proper preventative maintenance. Vehicles with mods, none at all.

When I took it for a drive I was almost in a wreck because someone ran a stop sign and nearly hit me, I floored it when I saw they weren’t slowing down, the truck actually started accelerating 4 seconds later. 4 seconds may not seem like a long time, but when a large SUV is barreling towards you; 4 seconds feels like years. Thankfully they slammed on their brakes and didn’t hit me.
