  • In this episode of DIY WILLY, we'll install the Pedal Commander PC79 in the 2008 Nissan Frontier 4.0 V6. There is a noticeable difference with the gas pedal sensitivity after the install. Definitely making it more fun to drive.
    So follow along as I prep the truck for an upcoming desert trip.

      Yes 4.10’s would be a good idea or will be hard on the clutch and tranny. I have friend with a 2wheel drive who is planning on 35’s soon and I recommended the gear swap also. He is only 4 cylinder so he will definitely feel those tires. I wish he would stick with 33 but he won’t listen. His truck is Titan Swapped and I’ll have it on the channel soon. Enjoy that truck and thanks for watching.

    Nothing like souping up an already elite Frontier eh? Got the 2020 Pro4X, Crew Cab, 5' bed, decals, 310hp 281 lb ft of torque, a sweet 9 speed automatic, future Classic!!! If I install the Pedal Commander I might volunteer it to replace the Mars Rover! It already can climb everything, and plenty of power on the highway. There are many others out there like it, but this one is mine. What a great ride. Nice video BTW, the exhileration you experienced by the result you got was like the payoff one gets after a roller coaster ride. Yep, want some of that!

    Hey DY, did you clean your throttle body and put a K&N air cleaner on your truck and disconnect battery before install, just curious.
    I just ordered one for me 2017 Nissan Frontier 4.0 a couple of days ago because of your video. 😎 good job.

    • @DIYWilly
      @DIYWilly  3 роки тому +2

      I did disconnect the the battery for the work with the throttle body. It’s a good idea to gently clean it while it’s off. Just be careful not to force the butterfly. But for the intake and pedal commander I did not disconnect the battery. Hope this helps… Thanks for watching!

    Im glad that it wasnt my imagination or something wrong with my frontier. talking about the delay with the Pedal. How is it now after 3 years? Just by watching the video i could tell how it change and how you had to relearn how to press the pedal. I just got a frontier and that delay is a bit weird i used to drive very heavy footed but since its a new car to me im trying to baby it and the delay has messed with me. Nice work on all you videos

Also u have any recommendation on mud flaps? i went into a deep hole n one side of the trucks flaps took a beatings. one broke off n the under one when pushed up made a dent in the body. that sucked, thought someone kicked my car. didnt even know it happened at the time. but the dent isnt even really noticeable. not sure if i should try n fix that cause could crack the paint if i pop it back out then id have to repaint it.

    Hello, do you think the shift points were changed? I hate how the torque converter locks up so quick on the Frontiers. I am hoping to find something that will let it shift at a higher rpm (or MPH).

    • @DIYWilly
      @DIYWilly  2 роки тому +1

      No I don’t believe the shift points were changed. This mod effects reaction time between the gas pedal and the throttle body. Eliminating the factory installed delays. With the engine responding fast it could possibly change the feel of the converter lock up your complaining about. Hope this helps answer your question and thanks for watching.

    • @DIYWilly

      Yes the truck has all that plus a cat back exhaust. But no tune due to California strict laws. The truck is plenty fast enough with mods as mentioned especially the Pedal Commander. Thanks for watching.
