That's a lot of money for almost nothing "tuning" wise.

 

I could see that as something for people that lift the trucks, want different tire pressures and want auto start/stop and DFM off. Otherwise it does zero actual tuning to the engine programming.

Too bad the driveshaft will have the ability to explode above whatever the current limiter is set to.

Well for starters...its not a "tuner".  It can change a few options/settings and throttle response but that's about it. 

 

There is really no "tuners" on the market for these trucks.  A modified ECM from HP Tuners and 10 credits is the only way in that I know of and that runs about $2000 to get to a point in where you can modify anything.

Exactly... 

WAMS does the best customization (including nixxing the speed limiter) but I know he's been having trouble getting the product out.   I wouldn't pay a dollar for Pulsar personally

T-

So you have one and love it that is good news what exactly do you love about it? Have there been any negatives or issues? My truck runs ok but definitely needs a little help with the throttle response, dealer said all is ok when they went through te truck twice.

It does exactly what it advertises to do and I've been happy with it.

The throttle response can be set on the go using the cruise control buttons. I keep mine at 3-4 depending on my mood. I feel it does a good job helping the truck "feel" more responsive. It does this by keeping the truck in a good (better) spot on the power band. Doesn't give you any extra power but the truck has plenty enough for me.

DFM and auto start/stop disable works seamlessly. Raised the speed limiter even though I don't ever drive that fast. I had the Range DFM and Pedal Commander, was just about to pull the trigger to do the auto start/stop thing in the console when this released.

Install was plug and play with good instructions and pics. Youtube has a few videos if you get stuck.

All in all, it may be a little pricey for what it is and people's opinions may differ. For me, it makes my driving experience just that much more enjoyable and was well worth the investment. Let me know what other questions you have. [emoji106]

Why do you state that?

Any information about it?

Why would the driveshaft "explode" based upon where the speed limiter is set?

Thanks

Driveshaft failures are common when speeds exceed 100-110mph. The aluminum driveshafts will come apart and when they do they tend to take other stuff with them. Like sheet metal, fuel tanks, transmission cases and or the transfer case.

 

They set the speed limiters based on things like tire ratings, gear ratios etc and they make sure the driveshaft can handle that limiter speed setting. Going above that is the unknown, things can break there.

Makes a custom driveshaft sort of a no brain event, eh?

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By studly · Posted

      I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.
