Do you mean to change the curve on the drive by wire throttle on diesels?

supposed to allow you to tune the signal from the accelerator for quicker responses.

I was told that the auto Hilux diesel would improve heaps with a pedal change, it was really noticeable how bad the throttle response was on the auto vs the manual. I'd see if you can drive a car the same as yours with it done before spending the $.

My sons a mechanic and his boss has one fitted to his brand new triton. Son reckons you can notice the improved throttle response when comparing it with other late model tritons that come through the workshop. Was hoping some one on here might no if they improve the current model Colorado or not

All I can tell you is the auto D4D 3.0L Hilux was woeful throttle wise, and was told a pedal would make it better.

In the end I spent $2000 less for a far better engine and got a 5spd auto as part of the deal!
Seriously though i'd ask on a few 4x4 forums.

Throttle controllers ? electronic throttle is what you are on about ?

On the current Colorado they have a dumb stupid moronic system that when you change up a gear it's like the throttle does not open until a few second after you hit it, it's bloody annoying and a real bastard to drive like that.
I think it's set up like that so you don't over rev the engine and blow the bastard up, because they are so highly tuned.
I can't stand the bloody thing it's like having the new age Political Correct low life grubs interfering in your life, trying to drag every one down to their level of moronic filthy grubby Nazi like stupidity. I wont blow the engine up, but I know that a stupid dumb foolish moron could and that's why it's their like so, I guess.

Also I have experienced the electronic throttle control systems can or do not open to exactly what you foot is doing as with a cable, the bastards can open more than what you give it at times and if you hit the throttle fast but only half or 3/4 the bastard will open fully kicking the auto back a gear lower that what you wanted, had that with the Aurion and the VF commodore V6, it's like oh f off ! when it happens, the wife looks at you thinking what are you doing and a cop would thing your being a smart arse for sure, I f ing hate it.

Some claim it can open the throttle faster that a cable, bullshit ! must have a gammy cable if that was the case, as fast as your foot goes down that it, the cable does not stretch at all.

^^I remember driving an alloytec in a VZ when they first came out and throttle response was woeful -it's like the pedal and throttle having separate ideas.

I'll take the cable operated throttle body on my VY any day.

Yes a mate still has a Dec 2004 VZ SS ute from new and had problems overtaking at times when it was new, I was in the car when he was going off about it and it fixed it's self up after about 6 months, all has been good from then on he says.

My VZ Cross8 was fine, I don't remember it feeling all that different to the V2 CV8.
