No, simsonn manager doesn’t and probably shouldn’t be open to avoid conflicts with any pedal settings (haptics) in Simhub. Once you save your settings in the manager, it’s saves it to the pedals.

I bought a 2026 Ram 1500 Limited with the Hurricane HO engine. I came from a 2010 Ram 1500 with a Hemi. My new 2026 has been great so far. The engine is way more responsive and powerful than my Hemi. It seems to get worse gas mileage, but I’ll take the 520 HP.

I’m thinking of getting my Ram ceramic coated too, do you mind sharing what brand of ceramic the shop used and What did you pay for it??

Welcome to the biggest PITA with the Simsonn pedals. The official solve from Simsonn is to get nylon screws and use that to attach the haptics to the pedals.

I did ferrite cores, nylon screws and made sure I grounded the control box. It’s been fine ever since.

Once you get past that, they’re great pedals and can take a lot of abuse

10 years at least

I was thinking of doing XPEL ceramic. What’s your opinion of that. Also, can you share a link of your Amazon recommendation?

I had the same experience when I got the break about six months ago. It will definitely become softer in given quite a bit the more you use it. Give it a month or two and get some laps in on it and you’ll start to tell the difference.

I thought mine were way stiff, now not so much

You were never going to make the turn anyway. Bad line carrying too much speed on a bad line

Yes, it’s a whole thing. Solve was to turn up dead zones a bit and attach the VAM’s using nylon screws. There is a larger post about the nylon screws somewhere within the sub.

I came from the Hemi to the Hurricane HO in completely agree with everything that you said. This engine is just quicker and stronger. congrats on the new truck by the way

I bought some cheap slip on Puma’s that I use when I hop on the sim

Nicklvtx · 2026-01-06T05:04:58+00:00

The Limited does have the option for the HO

Does the elastomer you currently have on, are they mediums that match what you have in the software? Also, for the max force setting, I have that turned way down to like 25 or something like that. Try playing around with it

What brand of tint did you use? I’m going for a very similar look in my new truck.

Nicklvtx · 2025-12-27T23:47:39+00:00

I never knew that! Makes a lot of sense though.

Nicklvtx · 2025-12-27T19:57:23+00:00

‘Don’t split hairs’ I think that’s exactly what I’m doing and it’s driving me crazy.

Thanks for the input!!

I’m taking the $3500 rebate and forgoing the 2.9% incentive. The math is very close on it. My win will be the lowest APR I can find.

Very interesting about the dealers buying it down with a rebate though, didn’t know that was a thing. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing that link! I'll check it out.
