As title asks, is anyone running a Pulsar LT with the 6.6 gasser?  I've been considering getting it for my truck to try out, but wondering if anyone else has it already and can give some feedback.  I guess really the only things I'd use it for is to change the tpms thresholds and adjust for the 35's I'm now running.  It also says it can be used to clear engine codes, which I currently already have a cheap handheld scanner that can do that.

I have it. I put 37s on and used it to adjust for that, throttle sensitivity, and lower tpms warning. No complaints.

Has been working great here. Bought mainly for tire size and TPMS modding. I keep the throttle at 30% over stock and it makes the truck feel like it should from the factory. Kills the sluggish hesitation and makes the truck feel like the 464tq is there. Also reduces the 2>1 shift clunk on deceleration.

Good info thanks.  I bought one, just haven’t had a chance to install it yet.  I added 35’s so my main reason for getting the Pulsar was to change the tire size and tpms lower threshold.

finally got around to installing this.  Went to plug in the harness and it doesn't fit the oem plugs of my truck.  The 2 guide rails on the connectors of the Pulsar plugs are further apart than the ones on my oem plugs.  I reached out to Pulsar and they are telling me it should fit; well it doesn't.  Ugh, hoping they will take it back, but no further response from them yet.  the raised part of the grey connector, as seen in picture; top one is lined up in groove, but bottom one doesn't line up as it's spaced further out.  oem plugs spacing is 2-5/8" between the 2 guides and the Pulsar plugs are 2-7/8" apart.  Guess they use slightly different Delphi plugs.

There is another connector that is very similar looking in the same area..try it. I ran into the same issue. Instructions are horrible at showing the correct one to plug into. If you havnt figured it out by tomorrow, i'll get a pic of where mine is plugged in.

I gave up for the night.  I didn’t see another connector like that in that area anywhere.  If you don’t mind sending a picture my way that would be great.  The one I tried is right below the coolant tank and brake fluid reservoir.  It has a big plastic bracket coming off the frame rail up, and the comnector has a christmas tree clip holding it to the bracket.  Wire harness runs from firewall, along inner fender up to the ecm.

I finally got mine installed recently after talking to TS423.  I was overlooking the correct plug like a big dumbie.  I’ve only driven the truck once since installing it and the throttle response is noticeably better in setting 3.  When going through all the different programmable options I noticed the rear gear ratio defaulted to 3:23 so I changed it to 3:73, along with my tire size from 34 to 35’s.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
