Could've very well been tuned. If it wasn't louder, it was probably not deleted. It might've had intact emissions tuning. I seriously doubt that someone would sell a 2018 with emissions intact tuning and not mention it, though.

Was this test drive done at a dealer? I thought neighbors to the north were even stricter than us when it came to selling deleted trucks.

Hard to say. The seat of the pants gauge is hard to convey over the internet.

 

The truck was at a local dealership lot but they get their used stock from trade in and auctions, and aside from walk around inspection for dents and rust their incoming trucks don't get an inspection until point of sale where a mechanic goes over it for safety compliance (brake pads etc.) so a truck from another province could well have slipped in with undisclosed modifications. Since the trucks are drive-by-wire I thought this might explain the two-step throttle pedal feel, as maybe a feature of some tuner. My 2018 isn't like that.
It did not seem any louder than any other diesel truck, it just went like a bat out of hell when you got it on.

 

Probably had a Banks pedal monster or something similar if it wasn’t tuned.

 

Yes a Banks pedal monster would be my bet.

 

I’ll second that….and recommend it for the truck you purchased.

Thanks, but from what I read it sounds like that pedal monster gives snappier pedal response, but would that explain the much better power and acceleration the first truck displayed?

It most certainly could depending on the level the pedal monster is set to.
As mentioned previously, it is a wonderful little mod to fix the "dead pedal". That along with the iDash are an excellent choice for starting out with modifying the truck if you want to go down that path.

 

Yea I thought mine was a real dog till I did some Banks stuff.

 

Well I been bit. Ordered a Derringer gen 2

 

Ah congrats, but did you get the pedal monster? The Derringer will not fix the dead pedal feeling.
Trust me, I wish I bought the pedal monster first.

Actually I haven't been bothered by any dead pedal feel, I only mentioned the throttle pedal by way of describing what appeared to be a '2 stage' feel to the pedal, in the hope that would trigger someone to say "Oh, that's what the * mod does!" and thus help me identify what it was that made that truck go like stink and thus enable me to do whatever that truck had, to my truck.

What do you usually have your pedal monster set at? I have mine city #3. Seems to be just enough to get rid of the dead feel.

 

Is there anything plugged in to the OBD port?

 

I no longer have access to that truck, somebody bought it.
