Installed mine today. I ran into one thing where option 6 (60 mph) was not the auto start disable but was throttle response adjustment. I can tell you when you set it to the highest setting acceleration is extremely abrupt. I'm waiting for my usb to odbii cable then I'll update it to see if the options change. So far very happy with this!!!


Let us know if there is an update. I was told there wasn’t as they were new and “shouldn’t need one”.

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

Will do. If there isn't I wonder why option 6 was acceleration and not stop/start. Has anyone else seen this?

Anyone with the Pulsar LT using this with a CAI? Watching the Pulsar installation video the unit is attached to the top of the air cleaner box with velcro strips. Wondering where you are attaching the Pulsar unit if you are running a CAI? I have the Roto-fab intake and didn't like the idea of attaching the Puisar to the clear lid.

You can mount it wherever you want.

Question for those who have  the Pulsar. Once you have everything set where you want it does it have to be reset if you remove it and then reinstall it? Example being you are bringing vehicle to dealership for oil change and do not want it recorded that Pulsar is in vehicle. You take it out, have service performed, then reinstall it.

I'm researching this myself. My initial thought is that it would reset itself but I'm not sure.

I have the Pulsar LT on my 6.2 AT4. I imagine you would have to adjust it to your preferences once its re-installed. But it probably took me all of 10 minutes to figure out how to adjust what I wanted and actually change it. It's not time consuming at all.

I disconnected mine when I was having the lane change alert issue. It was only disconnected a couple minutes, but it held it's settings.

Are you saying the device held it's settings/memory when unplugged and then plugged back in, or are you saying the truck held the settings when the device was unplugged?

The device held its settings.  The truck never actually "changes" any programming.  The Pulsar intercepts the signal and modifies it.  Its a piggyback.

I had a few days of no problems then...

I was driving from Minneapolis to Kansas City today. My truck started throwing up tons of error codes and wouldn't restart after turning it off. It wouldn't even crank. 

I unplugged the Pulsar and took it out of the system, everything fired up.

I am going to ship it back, not sure it is fully developed yet.

Wow! Thats not good. I think we got ours about the same time. I installed mine on Black Friday. So far so good, although I havent driving it more than a couple hundred miles yet. Did they give you any problems with getting a refund?

      I suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
