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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
