Range has a new item out called the Pulsar. According to Range you can now access/change and delete items such as auto stop, D.F.M., speed limit settings, T.P.M.S., throttle response and clear D.I.C. codes. They also claim this will NOT void manufacturers warranty. If this is all accurate it appears to be worth the $449.95. Opinions?

Sorry, I don't know how to attach a link .

 

Edit to add: This is for the 2019/2020 1500 series GM trucks.

My replacement unit came in and its installed.  So far it works perfectly.  Throttle sensitivity adjustments DO work on the fly and make a dramatic difference in pedal feel.  As long as everything kee

It's a cheaper option than tuning the PCM that's for sure.

 

The newest vehicles seem to hold a lot of the settings in the BCM side of things now, that is why it's cheaper to edit them instead of needing a whole new computer.

Do I smell a rat? The Pulsar works with 6.2L 10 speeds, but the regular range device still does not..... That said, if it could set the default drive mode to sport, I'd be in for one.

Maybe until it's unlocked but a full dyno tune around here (Chicagoland) is around that price.  I've had things like tire size, O2 delete, or speed limiters flashed for the cost of a couple cases of beer.

I just found this item this morning, although on the Superchips website.

 

Doesn't look like it adds any HP, just convenience features really. I may pull the trigger on one and try it. Buying a pedal commander for throttle response & a speedo corrector would cost more than this and this does more stuff so I don't find the price too out of line.

would definitely be interested in that! I'd rather my truck default to sport and I will turn it to touring if I want.

If no solution surfaces I will try to build one myself, unfortunately looking at the pinout of the switch it looks like it might actually be a resistor ladder or something like that rather than a simple contact like the headlights switch (also going to build a device to default autolights to off) If that's really the case it will be more difficult to build. I'd like to be able to add a switch for default startup mode, touring or sport, if the switch is in sport it will electronically rotate the switch shortly after startup. if in tour nothing happens. I wish it would just remember my previous setting and not default back to touring. Only on one occasion I can think of did I not put the truck into sport mode immediately after startup.

Its $1400 just to have the ECM unlocked on these new 2019+up T1 trucks.  https://www.hptuners.com/product/e90-modified-ecm-purchase-ecm-exchange-service/

 

And then its 10 credits at $50/credit, so another $500 to then access the ECM that has been unlocked to start tuning.  $1900 just to even start a dyno tune.

If any of my fellow 3.0L Duramax owners were hopefull for this, I just got an email from range....

 

And the lack of support continues for us.

 

Carry on gassers ?

While I said "unlocked" I meant right now, they're swapping the locked CPU in the ECM for an unlocked.  If this can be done software-wise, it'll drop significantly.  I haven't personally pulled the E90 apart to see which CPU is onboard but I have hopes that competition will breed innovation with a software-side fix.  Since HP Tuners has a stranglehold on the market for now, they can literally charge whatever they want, even if that CPU is chump change.

Side note.. watching this guy pull apart an E41 is interesting.  :)

When I change my truck to sport mode it stays in sport mode until I change it to something else. I. will put into touring for long highway trips but otherwise I leave it in sport mode.

 

I would love to delete the auto start, raise my speed limiter (currently 98 MPH) and have the ability to stop DFM from being active at my discretion. (Inspection state, ran into issue with old truck and Range device)

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By newdude · Posted

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
