Hey Dave,
I really appreciate you sticking to your guns. The original post was titled what gentlemen? Not " give your opinion on a device you have no experience with and sway people away from improving driveability in a non carbuerated vehicle"
This same question was asked what, less than a year ago? Cmon guys, you all ain't that old. Lots of people weighed in on it.
These cars are not like our high school rides. No, you can't twist the distributor and its a different beast, but im really disappointed with all you guys still refusing to believe the manufacturers are making more power with less, using less and lasting half a million miles with no work if taken care of.
If you hate the idea of someone adding a simple, effective trinket to their ride that improves the experience, just shut up and click on the next page. Keep your mouth shut otherwise and answer the question asked to the point. Quit trying to rack up a post count.

Not once have you replied " yes, I have, and it blows". No. You just forwarded a few internet reactions and your feelings on how new cars operate. Out of curiosity at this point, have you driven anything built after, say, 2010?

Out of curiosity at this point, have you driven anything built after, say, 2010? Did you read the initial post? Clearly not. Also I posted the results of my research into it, as I considered one for my 06 Magnum. I actually did try something similar, using my Diablosport Trinity. It lets you control the throttle by percentage. All it did was lower my mpg.

I understand that these devices are not for everyone or for every vehicle. And I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion and that experiences with these kind of things can vary. But to make the kind of pat statements that they are a waste of money or that they can't have an impact on a vehicle's fun factor is just plain wrong.
And that is born out by the majority of experienced users that have responded here. And by the overwhelming majority of reviews posted on the 'net' that are positive. Very positive. Most have video comparisons to reinforce their conclusions. And there are more and more companies jumping on the band wagon to build them, so demand (which is tied to reputation) is growing.
So GTSDart340, you have expressed your opinion and experience quite effectively. And that is your prerogative. No one has disputed that your particular experience with a similar device was negative. But you have gone too far with your position. By not having tried different devices on many different vehicles most reasonable people would be very hesitant to make the kind of statements that you have. A single experience is not all experiences. Your extremely limited experience is further isolated by the fact that most other reviews have reported a very different opinion on these devices. But you will still feel that your opinion is more important than many, many others that disagree with you and provide evidence to support their conclusion. Something that you cannot do with your similar device. All of which makes it harder and harder to take you seriously on this subject.
Master, again and still

Wrong again. But I will whole heartedly agree with you on this one thing at the moment- Diablo tuners are garbage out of the box. They need a loaded tune tailored to your vehicle and its mods to work correctly. I was greased for 45 minutes by a vendor which will remain un named right now, about how awesome the trinity was and how it would compliment perfectly the entire package I was buying and almost double the power. Huge lie and waste of time, and when I couldn't get the tuner to even initially start the tune process, I was told after calling the vendor and Diablo that "sometimes this is just what happens". The pedal commander on the other hand only has 1 real function. To each their own. For the record, my Trinity has been great! Never had a single issue. And just because I've never used one, doesn't mean I can't have an opinion. But as I said before, the placebo effect is a powerful thing. And at least I did more than youtube research. But I guess nothing on YouTube is a lie or fake, is it? I've said my piece, you do you.

Full throttle is not the problem, feathering off idle is. Push the pedal and NOTHING happens, like a switch, on or off. None of the six current vehicles or any car of the last 55 years has had this problem Exactly.

For all the "nay" sayers, I just installed a 9 Drive on my 2011 RAM. First hand experience here... It works!!! Day and night difference from before the install. I bought this truck new and it always had a lag. Not any more! No lag what so ever. Let me be clear. This product, for a very reasonable price of $50, does not make the vehicle any faster. It takes the lag out and nothing more. Because of this, it may make the vehicle a little quicker, but that isn't it's intent. After doing research on the Pedal Commander and of course the price, I decided on the 9 Drive. I did not make a mistake. Best bang for the buck in my view.

How about putting up a link where you got it?

I went to the 9Drive website and see the address is in China. I will probably buy one and reverse engineer it like they do to us and start selling them...Wooohaaahaaahaaa...

Me two Rino,
I am wondering if these are really worth the effort and cost? or it it will be throwing codes all the time if you get two aggressive, over on the LX blog some say yes some say no.
I guess we will wait and see how this plays out.
Thank you Kiddart
