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?

      Turning radius

      By newdude · Posted

      "Increase"?   You want to "increase" your turning radius?     What is your truck?  What kind of cab and bed do you have currently?  Is it stock?  Modified?  Lifted?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By newdude · Posted

      OP's quote is parts and labor.  Not just parts.     The # you found isn't the right one.  But besides that, the right # is the same price within a couple bucks.  $5802.01.    Now, factor in labor and fluids.  Book time is 17.1 hours for a Colorado 8 speed.  At $200/hr for a dealer average rate, its $3420 just in labor.  We are already at $9222.  Fluid and other necessary items, there's your $400-500 more.      Also.  Your "discounted" transmission.  Which is 99% likely quoted off of GM Parts Direct as that's the MSRP I found on their site.    You failed to note the $597 in shipping charges.  So we are right back almost to MSRP.  $5794.  Oh.  AND, you better have the $4000 for the core charge which you'd have to pay and get refunded, AND you gotta pay to SHIP THE CORE BACK.    So now you'd have paid MORE to buy that one online yourself, even after you get your core refunded.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.
