Was curious if anyone is running an after market throttle controller? I read nothing but positive reviews so I purchased one for my 2020 Silverado HD Duramx. I was impressed at first, but now I’m not so sure about this thing. I have a banks idash (one of my first purchases) and noticed a few things I don’t like, such as fluctuating the fuel pump psi and kicking into high idle in stop and go traffic. From anyone running one, should I not worry about it or take the thing out and throw it away?

Banks also has excellent customer service from everything I've seen and heard. If you still have an issue or a question don't hesitate to call them.

It was never mentioned he was using a Pedal Monster. What throttle controller are you using?

Has anyone tried the Performance Module from AG Solutions that just wondering it says 45 horsepower increase. I had it for like 6 months then all sudden the damage service ESC and traction control light and reduced acceleration it was taking off so so slow when that happen and every time all 3 issues happen at Sametime I have idash so evertime it happen i would just clear the codes on idash but kept happening so took to chevy dealer where I bought it and forgot to unhook that performance module I took off pedal monster cuz the installation for pedal monster tells you disconnect if you take in for service at dealer so I did that. But come to find out the AG Solutions performance module was causing all the issues they came and told me I had to pay out of pocket because the after market part caused it ended up costing 374$ I thought it was crazy Cuz how could that part cuz ESC and traction control lights to come on when it has nothing to do with that I pretty sure idk anyone know anything I have 2023 chevy silverado 1500 3.0 duramax turbo diesel LZO

Any time you plug an electric module into your truck, you risk the possibility of that module causing communication problems or other problems somewhere in the truck. Why yours seemed to work OK for 6 months and then there were problems, no way for anyone to tell now. You should have gone back to that manufacturer and told them you have problems with their product and ask for help. When you don't even give them a chance to fix their problem, they aren't likely to help you much. And the dealer did what they were supposed to do, find the problem and fix it. Looks like that's what they did.

Sorry for your problems. Have you tried plugging either of those modules back in to see if they will do what they're supposed to do without causing problems? Might be risky.
