What happens here

The creator details his custom gas pedal setup, which is a hybrid of a 2000 Silverado pedal and a 2008 Cadillac Escalade pedal, using a 2000 cable. He explains that he modified the 2000 pedal's plastic base to fit the 2008 Escalade's firewall pattern, while keeping the metal stand of the 2008 pedal. He also had to shorten and bend the rod connecting to the cable to achieve the correct depth and alignment. He points out his reference marks on the floor from when he measured the old pedal's position, ensuring the new custom pedal maintained the exact same feel and travel as the original. He also shows where the MS3 Ultimate ECU is hidden.

Goal: Modify the gas pedal for optimal driving feel and discreetly install the ECU.

these but what I could do is use like flexible tube and connect back onto this duct let's go around it it still blows out of here but it's not as concentrated as it once was because the bar goes through it gas pedal is a modded pedal from a conglomeration of a couple different things it's part of a 2000 Silverado pedal a 2008 pedal and I believe a 2000 cable the stand is from a 2008 because originally these Escalades have the adjustable pedal which has a thick like plastic ABS base of all gears in it well when I got the drivetrain pull out for my Monte Carlo um that ILS swapped it came with the pedal out of the oh nine 2500 donor truck which uses the same firewall pattern as but it hasn't that'll stand so I trimmed out what I didn't need out of the oh one pedal mm whatever and I mocked it up on that one and it gave me like the perfect depth spacing because I guess these things haven't changed a whole lot in 20 years so I used that and I had to shorten the brought up there bend it a little bit to get it to where the cable was right and it can't like go through the firewall correctly you can actually still see my marks on here for references to like I put the old pedal in and I floored it and I wanted to like gauge where it was because I wanted this my new pedal to be in the exact same position driving wise as it was before yeah everything's stuffed in there it's real tight not the cleanest but it's you know sometimes you just gotta make it work and there really wasn't anywhere else to put this thing unless I wanted to get rid of some of the interior functionality which wasn't wanted to do so move up here the transbrake and bump buttons are on here I made these these
