ECT Always On Mod - Revisited

In case anyone is wondering about this item, I bought one. I was very impressed with build quality. This is not just thrown together, and anyone is familiar with wiring and circuit boards can tell a lot of thought went into it. Gotta love plug and play! Installation doesn't get any easier than this! Great product!!!!

 

By chance might you have any available currently to purchase? A must have for me.

 

Ok. How do I get one!?

 

PM the guy in post 1 maybe?

 

My bad.

 

Just here to share my story


After passing my 5,000 mile “break in” period, the truck still seems sluggish at times. The ECT power mode really makes a difference with my rig. Of course, after spending too much time on this forum, I stumbled across this thread.


I received my module (which looks incredibly professional), followed the instructions, which were really a breeze, and got the green light upon first try. I was elated and ready to hit that right pedal.


The next day, I started my truck and no ECT power. Tried pushing the button and nothing. Uninstalled the unit and attempted install again twice, unfortunately to no avail and no green light.


Contacted OP, shared my story, and received EXCELLENT customer service. I returned my original module for inspection and received a new unit shortly after. Looks like the onboard fuse popped, which in my eyes, is a great safety feature and insurance against causing damage to any other electrical parts. Again, professional work.


What I’m really trying to say is: this mod is great and the customer service that you will receive is equally as great. Thanks again OP for taking care of me, and thanks to your friend for such great work.


**Installed replacement on 10/30/19.

Six days since install, no issues at all, ECT power on every. single. time. The truck feels better to drive. Will update if anything changes.

 

Could the arduino measure voltage to know if the vehicle is running? Ex. 14.1 running 12 when off so it would know when to turn ECT on or off.

 

Thank you!

 

Our pleasure. Glad it's working out for you. Sorry you had to go through it, but we're happy that you had a good experience.

 

So are they available again? WunderSlug - you emailed me asking if I was still interested, I said yes, then nothing.

 

@mhejl PM'd you.

 

I bought one of the original units from Meso/DSIM and it lasted only a few weeks.
Issue never got resolved. I'm out the purchase price and never got a replacement.

Still sore about it.

 

I like ect always on but does anyone else have a slight hesitation with light throttle taking off from a stop in 1st? I find it annoying so keep it off

 

So are these units still available?

 

Got mine on eBay about a week ago.

 

Never had that happen...

 

Yes, although we only have a couple boards left before we'll have to order more, increasing the lead time.

 

While it might sound like I'm pimping my own stuff here, the one on ebay doesn't have the functionality ours does. Most notably, the ability to completely disable the mod with a long press. No audible beep for on/off, no power LED, no onboard fuse, so no need to run a wire to the fuse box. All for $10 more...

 

Just to follow-up... Meso was kind enough to refund me for the failed unit I bought earlier in the year from DSIM (not your product)

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of this new unit to go with my Pedal Commander. The combination of these two items will make my truck a pleasure to drive finally.
