I don't think it's meant to be used when driving, but the truck does need to be running.

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

Responsiveness Level Adjustment

When the vehicle is running and cruise control is turned off, the vehicle throttle responsiveness can be adjusted. The responsiveness level is indicated using the vehicle’s speedometer.

STEP 1 - Using the +RES or -SET, adjust to the desired value.

Level 0 = Stock
Level 1 = Reduced responsiveness (up to 15% less than stock) Level 2 = Increased responsiveness (up to 15% over stock) Level 3 = Increased responsiveness (up to 30% over stock) Level 4 = Increased responsiveness (up to 48% over stock) Level 5 = Increased responsiveness (up to 65% over stock)

STEP 2 - To recall the vehicle’s performance level, press the cancel cruise control button.

i should have paid better attention through the whole video.  It still doesn’t say anything about driving while adjusting power levels.

It’s advertised as “on the fly”.

Negative. Flag is visible when first put into sport mode. Subsequent start ups flag not visible but a check of the drive mode shows it to still be in sport. It does not default back to tour.  I first thought it had because no flag visible, but upon checking mode it stays where it was last set.

I tested this.. It indeed reverts to normal mode. I put mine in off-road mode before parking this morning. Got back in today, turned the knob, and it went to sport mode. If the first turn displayed the current mode, then it would show off-road. However the first turn takes it to the next mode. So if it stayed in the last mode, it would have gone to normal mode, not sport as it did.

 

Maybe the '19s were different, as I believe the switch and displayed modes are different. The '20, the switch is turned to left to get to tow-haul mode. Where as I've seen pictures of the tow-haul mode being in the drive mode list. Mine just has the three, normal, sport, off-road. And then the turn to the left gives tow-haul mode.

2020 manual says:

 

Sport Mode
Use where road conditions or personal preference demand a more controlled response.
When you enter this mode you will immediately feel a down shift. 

 

Maybe the 'immediate downshift' is another way to determine/verify if it woke up in sport mode.

A flag on the dash is the only way to determine if it’s on during startup. The only made that will be present on startup other than touring is tow/haul. All others revert back to touring.

Just picked up my 2020 6.2, very interested on how well this works.

Ok I called them this morning. The tech, who didn't sound too sure of himself, said "while parked, not driving". That's not very "on-the-fly" but it is what it is. I haven't gotten any warning lights after leaving it alone.

What's everyone's take on the Pulsar vs the White Automotive product?  They have some similar adjustments, yet some different ones as well.  The White Auto. is cheaper, but you don't own it.

The White auto doesn't do anything for auto start/stop or DFM. It only works on the BCM.

Mine worked fine all weekend after the small problem I had when using it “on the fly” and finding out they don’t really mean that. Remote started it today and had a CEL. Onstar couldn’t give me the code, “unable to probe module”. She asked if I had anything connected to the truck. It wasn’t shifting right and surging at cruising speed (35mph).

I’m really hoping my device needs an update but the tech support person I spoke with this morning said “probably not, it’s brand new so there shouldn’t be any updates available”. Needless to say I’m about one or 2 more CELs from returning it.

Others say theirs works flawlessly. I’m not that lucky.

That stinks! I had high hopes for this. I was about to order mine, but I may wait to see how this plays out. Can you use the Pulsar unit to pull codes?

You cannot, unfortunately. Only thing it does in regards to DTCs is clear them.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
