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)

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
