They just keep pushing the availability date back 2 week at a time. I wish they'd get them in stock already. Wanting to buy one.

I just installed the Pulsar LT on my 2021 Sierra AT4 6.2.  Five minutes to install the hardware.  10 minutes to program.  Very easy.  Speedo calibration for bigger tires worked perfectly when checked

To summarize the other thread... the motors affected were built before 3/4/2021. The TSB states the truck VIN build dates that are affected (with the aforementioned motors) are between 9/1/2020 &

For those who may still be interested, the site (ordered from rangetechnology) still says to allow 1-2 weeks due to demand.  However, mine came pretty fast.  Ordered late Tuesday, shipped Thursday, arrived Friday. Hardly sounds like a backlog, but maybe I just got lucky.

I purchased 2020 Chevy Trailboss 6.2L and I just hit over 6k miles and had take into shop bad lifters and bent rod.  Very disappointing.  I purchased the Pulsar LT today and when I get my truck back I plan to disable DFM and Auto/Stop Start.  I have noticed black res exhaust tail end cap or tips which indicates possible oil and gas issue also which could lead to carbon build up.  I hope turning off DFM will also resolve this and running all 8 cyl will burn properly and have cleaner exhaust. Think will also prolong life of engine (I hope) I’ve owned FORD , TOYOTA, NIssan but this is my first Chevy truck and having major engine issues 6k miles is concerning.

Welcome to the forum Eric.

Sorry to hear of your issue with the 6.2L. 

When you mentioned the bent "rod" are you speaking of a piston rod or a pushrod?

BTW, you'll really like the Pulsar LT. 👍

It’s pushrod.  Yeah everything I read says Pulsar must have to really get truck perform like it should.  I hope the new parts have resolved any manufacturing issue that causes failure in the first place.  My understanding trucks built certain time period has had this issue and have found these lifters didn’t meet spec and there were little to no quality control during COVID

I have a 2020 GMC Sierra 6.2L.  I always drive using L3 thru L10.  I’m pretty sure this keeps all 8 cylinders firing & it keeps auto start / stop dis-engaged.

 

Does anyone else do this, agree or disagree with this?

 

I have over 6K miles & no problems to date.

 

 Thanks

Worth every penny. 👍

Yes, November ? 2020 through March ?, 2021.  There is a topic on this forum specifically about the defective lifter issue.  A GM tech who works at the engine plant stated that engines built before and after those dates have the "good" lifters and lifter springs and should be fine.  But I still disabled DFM anyway with the Pulsar LT, even though my engine was built way after the defective date.  DFM causes way too much wear and tear on the lifters and pushrods with the constant activate/deactivating!  V8 all the time is the way to go.  Be sure to remove the device prior to any dealer service appointment.  Only takes a couple minutes  to install/uninstall.  👍

 

Here's the link to the defective Lifter thread... Lifter issue: TSB PIP5776E - published June 18 - 2019-2021 Engine, Driveline, & Exhaust - GM-Trucks.com

Getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these to replace my Range device on my 2020 RST. My truck sits during the week because I have a company truck, so I have to unplug the Range device every time the truck sits for several days to make sure the battery doesn't drain down.

 

I'm curious if anyone with the Pulsar LT has a truck that sits for several days at a time. If so, have you had any battery drain with it?

I've had my Edge Products Pulsar LT for 4+ months now and my truck can sit untouched for up to two weeks with no issues of any battery drain. 👍

Yes, I do the same thing, drive in L3 through L9 since I purchased the truck in March 2021. Also disable the auto stop/start every time I drive. So far, so good.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
