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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
