You really shouldn't be. If you read the range warranty you are on your own dime regardless.
 
"The SELLER disclaims any warranty and expressly disclaims any liability for personal injury or damages. The BUYER acknowledges and agrees that the disclaimer of any liability for personal injury is a material term for this agreement and the BUYER agrees to indemnify the SELLER and to hold the SELLER harmless from any claim related to the item of the equipment purchased. Under no circumstances will the SELLER be liable for any damages or expenses by reason of use or sale of any such equipment."


I’m of the mindset that if I modify my vehicle any issues that come up because of it are my responsibility. Especially a BCM/PCM altering device like the pulsar or the banks derringer I had on my 6.7L F250 or any of the tunes I ran on my 2014 ecoboost. Always knew it would be on me to fix them. ;)

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

What fails is the connector is the connection of the pins in the connector.  That connector design doesn't make a good connection for all the pins in the connector.   So if and install didn't go smooth, it may have worsened the condition of the connector.  
 
I'd recommend to those having problems, apply some dialectic grease to the connectors and see what happens.  Maybe I'm wrong, but like I said, I've seen too many issues with these connectors with out being tampered with.

In my case it was misalignment of the plastic shroud. The longer tabs caused that side to bow in which caused 2 edges to meet instead of allowing one to slip into the other.

My connectors went together perfectly.  Those that are having failures... are you running a non stock throttle setting?

I was running the default “20” setting.

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.

 

 

Are you certain?  When I shut off and then restart mine is back in normal mode.  It does not stay in sport or off-road modes.

That's a first. Does the green checkered flag icon stay when you shut it.off and start back up?

Mine doesn't.

After reading every post in this thread it appears that the "issue rate" for these things is very high.  Too high for a $400+ device!  I wouldn't quite call them junk but it doesn't seem like they are too far from it.

Further checking proved I was mistaken. I always gave the dial a quick "flick"  the same direction check.    In reality what I was doing was changing it to sport.  Live and learn.

I am very pleased with mine. It really makes it feel like a totally different truck. Honestly I dont think the price was bad either. I got mine for 405.00 shipped and tax. For the ability to change tire and gear ratios, top speed, no DFM or auto stop and then some. Plus being able to do all this with the steering wheel controls is huge for me. Considering that  the fact that Range alone is 200.00....this is a great deal!

I've had mine on since Friday. The install was smooth, no filing required. Other than option 6(60mph) being throttle sensitivity I haven't had any issues. I've only logged about 50 miles and I'm not doing any changes to throttle sensitivity. So far the DFM is working great and my truck sounds good with my Magna Flow exhaust. Really hope this isn't an issue for all the units.

So I didn't have a chance to call Range today, I will do so tomorrow.

I remote started my engine today and noticed it had a check engine light.

At this point I pulled the unit completely out and have been problem free all day.

If my truck goes down I don't make money, I'm a small business owner. Have no interest in any modifications for a while.

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.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      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 ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
