Today, we're going to be showing your BD Diesel's new throttle sensitivity booster.
This is the version 3.0 of the throttle sensitivity booster.
And what BD has done here is they have wanted to take a module that they have been out in
the marketplace with for a while.
And these throttle sensitivity boosters, these have really been a breath of fresh air as
far as performance electronics go.
It's different than the normal everyday plugin module or programmers.
This is a performance adder that you can do on your truck that is not maybe as intrusive
as doing an ECM flash or something like that.
And people have really, really responded well to it.
What BD Diesel wanted to do with this new throttle sensitivity booster is use all of
the new technology that was at their disposal and combine it into this throttle sensitivity
booster.
So let's show you what it is.
First off, let me tell you what a throttle sensitivity booster does.
A throttle sensitivity booster is going to amplify the signal going to your accelerator
position sensor.
So it's going to give you crisper throttle response, increased throttle response, and
just an overall better drivability of your truck.
They really, really added some nice features to these over the years.
Two of the new features of this for this year's model, this version 3.0, is the economy mode,
which is going to get you a little bit better fuel economy.
It's going to pull about 25% of the throttle response out of the throttle sensitivity booster.
And then you've got a new security mode, which gives you zero throttle response.
So if you are parking your truck for the weekend or something like that, you can lock the security
mode in on this and it's going to make your truck almost impossible to steal.
All right.
One of the big features of this that BD Diesel's really promoting is the AI technology in this.
So this is going to have an artificial learning capability for you.
As you're setting it in your truck, when you first start up, there's a suite motion that
you'll go through that will learn the throttle position inside of the truck, and the module
learns thereby from that.
If you don't get to do that, it's okay.
It'll actually learn as it's driving and as you're driving what the throttle positions
of the truck are.
So that's a really, really nice feature of it.
Let's show you what we get inside the box here.
We had a little technical difficulties before, so we'd already unboxed this once.
So I'm going to try to hobble through that and what you get.
So obviously you're getting your new throttle sensitivity booster.
And you're going to notice that this is a big, big change in sizing from the old throttle
sensitivity booster.
All of the brains now are actually in the head unit or the switcher unit of the throttle
sensitivity booster itself.
Then it plugs in at your APPS sensor or your throttle position sensor on whatever vehicle
that you're going to be using it for.
So everything is combined right here into this little head unit.
You can see it in the size of my hand.
It's a small unit.
They've really slimmed this down.
Comes with some Velcro for you to mount the head unit inside of your cab if you decided
to do so.
Alcohol pad to clean that area up with.
Zip ties to clean up your installation.
Comes with your warranty statement here.
Really good detailed instructions on installing it.
And you also get a BD Diesel sticker that comes in the package that I left downstairs.
Really nice little sticker.
The throttle sensitivity booster, let's talk about all the positions that are on this.
So we've already talked about the security and the economy mode.
There's a valet mode in this, and this is going to reduce your throttle sensitivity
by 50%.
This is a -50% position for this throttle sensitivity booster.
So this is if, obviously, a valet takes your truck or if your brother-in-law borrows it
and you don't want him to be able to do anything stupid with it.
That's a really, really good position.
Now, as far as performance goes, you've got four what I'm going to call performance positions
with this.
You've got the street mode, which is going to get you 50% better throttle response.
You've got your sport mode, which is 75% better throttle response.
The race mode's 100% better throttle response.
And you have the ludicrous mode, which is 300% ludi, 300% better throttle response.
I don't know why you're going to need that, but we're going to try it out today because
obviously we've got to go right straight to ludi and see what she does.
But, yeah, no, clean this up really, really sleek back this whole module.
We're excited about trying this out.
We appreciate the guys at BD sending this down for us as well to try it on our truck.
This works for a wide different range of vehicles, gas and diesel applications.
And BD is always working to increase the amount of applications that they have.
Today, we're going to be putting this on a 2016 Dodge Ram with a 5.7 in it.
So going to be working on a gas vehicle and trying it out with that.
We're really excited about it.
The new TS, throttle sensitivity booster, gosh that's a mouth full, version 3.0.
Check it out.
We're going to link you to our page where you can purchase this on our website.
And we're also going to link you in this video to our installation video for this throttle
sensitivity booster.
Thanks for watching.
