I am trying to figure out how to wire in an electric hand throttle into the trucks wiring harness. I wanted to see if you guys have ever heard of anyone doing this?

I have big feet and it is very difficult to work all three pedals for boosted launches, and lighting big turbos. I was thinking of running a potentiometer joystick, and mounting it on the console. I still want to keep the factory pedal assembly working as well.

I know I could just buy another pedal assembly and tee into the harness, but it is bulky and I wanted something pretty trick looking.

Are there anymore clowns like me?:drool:

I'm 99% sure the 3rd gen is like the 2nd gen truck with the same APPS. 04.5 and up it's under the drivers side battery.

In a nut sheel it's a overly complicated potentiometer + switch to tell the ECM that you are not long "at idle"

See TDR thread: http://www.turbodieselregister.com/...n-1998-5-2002/198522-anatomy-apps-sequel.html

I'm no electronic wizzard, but linking in two of them in parallel might be a bad idea. The second one being operated by a lever that is.

I'd look into the idea of a link lock to simulate a trans braking operation first.
 
It is going on my 05(no Apps).

I would like to think of the of the pedal harness as making loops(signal comes from the ecm with X volts, and gets sent back at xx volts), and cutting into the loops would be the same as going directly to the pedal itself.

Yet I am no electronics wizard either, if I was I would have a new hand throttle already.:bang
 
You will need to put in a switch to switch between the two, putting them in parallel would not be the result you want.
 
Z do you think running them parallel would double ohms, and freak out my ecm?
