AFE Pedal 2 Metal - Has anyone used?

You'll probably get around to installing it when I get around to making more videos of the aFe exhaust!

Hahaha so true. Well you're off the hook for that (at least from me) since I already have mine installed

Hey All.

Per your request, here's a picture of the Roar Pedal installed. Note that in this picture the black connector is unlocked, showing how it looks after you pull the locking tab away from the connector body, allowing you to disconnect it. When you re-connect it, you'll need to seat the male-female ends together firmly and press that locking tab back in until it clicks. The tab on the purple connector is fully closed.

Once connected, I zip tied the black control puck (or whatever its called) to the large wiring up to the right. I plan to disconnect and remove when taking it to the dealer to avoid any unnecessary issues. The hardest part is getting under the dash in such a position that you can get the leverage you need to pull/push the locking tabs.

I've been running it for about two weeks now without any problems or safety issues on dry/wet pavement, highway/city, and off-road. Took it on a 3-day road trip this past weekend, which included a full day rock crawling up a trail from 9,000 up to 13,000+ feet with lots of ups/downs and side-to-side movement with zero issues.

It is not "perfect" because we're still working with a turbo charged engine, and the RP does not fully eliminate turbo lag when starting from a standstill. If you mash the pedal, there is still some lag, albeit less than stock, and once the turbos are spooled up the increase in acceleration is significantly stronger than stock in Sport, Sport+, or Race mode. From a stop light, if I press on the brake and give it some gas before taking off it pretty much eliminates any lag. Once rolling, there's no discernable lag, just more power sooner. I haven't been able to do a Launch Control pull with it yet but anticipate it should help shave a few tenths of a second. In Normal mode, it's like stock.

Hope this helps!

Awesome, thanks! Can't wait to get mine on. Before you installed, did you leave the drivers door open for 15-30 minutes like they said? Did you disconnect the battery? Also, where was your key fob? The manual doesn't mention anything, but I've heard to leave it far away so it doesn't communicate and keep the truck "awake".

Good questions, here’s my answers:

-Yes, I kept the driver door open for 30 minutes.

-I did not disconnect the battery.

-I left the fob inside the house in a Faraday bag as I usually do at night. That said, probably didn’t need to put it in the bag.

I also followed the instructions to the letter, especially the sequence of connecting the two ends of the RP. Study the instructions a few times. They are so simple it is easy to make an incorrect assumption.

You’ll do great! Keep us up to date

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Awesome, thanks for clarifying everything. Very helpful. I'll update everyone Saturday evening after I get it installed.

Okay so I finally installed my Roar Pedal tonight (lol).

I love it so far. I only drove it down the street to the grocery store to get some Barbie Ice Cream (don't knock it til you try it ) I have it on Sport + 5.

Exactly like @CORHinO said, it's pretty much "unnoticeable" until the turbos spool up, but once they do it's super noticeable. I know it doesn't technically add any power, but it sure feels like it did on the butt dyno! In my opinion, a "go-fast" truck like this should have had the throttle tuned like this from the factory.
