Hey y'all,

Is it there anyway to adjust the pressure of the gas pedal? It doesn't require much pressure, which results in movement while going over rough roads. Car & Driver review had the same issue when first tested.

Apologies for the incorrect section. The model is a 2003 Yukon Denali

My ‘03 is like this as well. It’s a bit annoying, especially considering how loud my exhaust is with these PRC heads, but I just live with it. Not a big deal.

That one is drive by wire. There isn't really a way to increase the feed back - the pedal spring is all internal. Maybe a newer replacement may have better built in feel

depends, 03 was a year that some have a cable and some do not I don't know the specific range though. same for clutch fans/electric.
then in 04/05 (i think) the alternator pins changed on some 4pin/2pin
this is all based on member feedback of what they have or had
my 03 was drive by wire... clutch fan 4 pin alternator
the wifes previous 04 had a clutch fan and 4 pin alternator
then her 05 had electric fans and a 2 pin alternator
there are some mixed with all of the above pretty much

I have HP tuners... my truck is a cable which is what I bought HP tuners for...

There is a page of calibrations for the throttle by wire. My C5 vette has throttle by wire and works AWESOME. It is definitely a better system than the cable IMO. Sorry to hear yours is too sensative.
