Default Drive by Wire pedal feel

Does anyone know of a possible way to stiffen up the pedal in these trucks?
I would like to make more solid feeling. It's too soft for my liking.

You have to put a loop in the...Uh, oh, um... LOL. Surprised no one has posted a link to an aftermarket one. With all the old school guys that own these there might be a market for it, seeing as how there are so many GM owners with DBW pedals...

I actually looked at a couple pedals after you first posted but saw no easy way add any resistance.

I wish there was just a spring you could add. But that would be too simple.
