Only certain counites have full emission testing, so he is on one of those counties that require it. Outside of those, it is inspection only until 2025 when that all goes away with only emission testing on those special counties.

​@@cvpiDOTnet and those should be illegal, i purchased my truck, its in my name, why am i not allowed to do with my property as I please if it does not effect the safety of other drivers on the road sorry rant bc i was visiting from another state to see family and this pissed me off: this next bit is bad for all car and truck guys who just want to visit California bc according to their police officers and courts if an out-of-state vehicle does not meet their emissions and inspection standards they will give you all the fines and not allow you to drive your car in the state, even to leave, and you must have it towed, if you can not get it towed it will be impounded

[@titanTitan-oo9hi]

I definitely use you as reference when it comes to modifications on my trail boss . Also I did see a hack to stop dfm and start stop by running in L9. It works for now until I can purchase the Pulsar. Thanks for the video’s.

[@jsbigrigdad]

I make the circuit boards for the Pulsar LT. I have it currently installed on my 2019 5.3L Silverado. I have talked the engineers and made them aware of the emissions failure problem. They are in the process of testing this issue on my truck. I will let you know what we find out. I will post an update as soon as I know. Our engineers work very hard to insure that our products are top quality and that our customers are satisfied. I appreciate this channel and it's content. I hope I can be of some help.

[@waynec211]

Yes Mr Simmons I would like to know also I've already had the problem with lifters and push rods collapsing at about 7,000 MI so they replaced all 16 lifters after a bitched enough so yes please come back on this page and let us know if they can fix that issue with the pulsar I have a pedal commander on here right now and I started thinking about it and hopefully it will somewhat disable this dfm system but I'm seriously looking at getting a pulsar LT I will have to learn how to put it on and you know we'll have to take her off once a year for the vehicle inspection so I guess I got to do what I got to do

[@robp418]

@@waynec211 I’ve got a 5.3 and have had the pulsar on it for 45,000 miles. 0 problems and makes the truck drive like it should.

[@waynec211]

Unfortunately I live in the state where we have to have emission checks yearly I have a question what if I were to leave the Pulsar LT on and merely unplug the negative battery cable for say approximately 3 minutes would that not delete the programming of the Pulsar LT and would the truck go back to default mode and go off the original factory settings that way I could leave the Pulsar on then after the emissions test I could reprogram the Pulsar LT with without removing it from my truck??

[@jsbigrigdad]

@@waynec211 The problem is that if you pull your battery cable and try to get emissions done the truck will fail. It PCM has to log the trucks emissions over so many miles. If you get it tested it will say not ready. I tried this with my truck. I am not sure about deleting the programs from the Pulsar. I will ask the engineers and find out.

[@waynec211]

Yes I know I will have to drive it for 50 miles maybe 75 before it resets and it will pass emissions but just trying to get around having to take the Pulsar all the way off of my vehicle I was just hoping that it would default back to the factory settings and the pulsar would be taken offline until I went back in and reset the settings on the pulsar

[@samsidwilliams190]

Sup bro! Great video as always, I had the same one in my 19 Silverado and never had that issue with inspections, I did have one check engine light for not receiving proper ground to an injector but after speaking to superchip and my local dealership shop foreman which is a friend of mine he told me just to disconnect the pulsar for 20-30 min and reinstall, after doing that all went back to normal. I also think that whoever did your inspection kinda did you wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️, well you already took it off just get the inspection and put it back on. Hope your issue gets resolved! Lmk if you need help, I live in Laredo but I’m more than happy to bounce ideas back in forth

[@davidmault564]

I used to be a certified state inspector. The OBD connection is only required in highly populated counties like those around the DFW. Just travel a few miles in any direction and you would pass the inspection.

[@gerrymiles4278]

You can manually turn off your afm, by putting your truck in L mode which is manual shift it up to 9th gear if you have a 10 speed trans, and then drive normally with full 8 cyl working and it will not cycle down cylinders while keeping it at 9th gear . Its a manual trick turning off your afm, all silverado's can do this but its important to set one gear less than your top gear for your motor.

It's wild that this thing doesn't have some sort of bypass, either a hardware switch or software option.

[@javi1373]

[@chriscrowell6678]

the " NOT READY " status on your emissions report simply means the system has not yet completed a self diagnostic yet. some of the checks require several miles of driving and/or under certain conditions, if you had disconnected the battery etc recently (losing power to the ECM) that would cause this scenario. It may not necessarily be your Pulsar. .

[@lowleveltrim1819]

I take my Pulsar LT off each time before I have the truck serviced at the dealer, just in case. I think it can interfere with reading codes properly. When you put it back, you do not have to reset it, so it is not a big deal.

if you put your truck in manual shift mode and leave it in 8th or 9th gear the transmission with shift through all gears like in drive but will not deactivate cylinders

[@RocketIIITurbo]

Lonestar - pulsar does tell you to remove it before servicing. That’s cause you can’t scan codes with it installed as you found out. OnStar diagnostics fail with pulsar also. Just part of the deal in having one. Sometimes when starting, they can get flakey. Check engine light and some other crazy warnings. Happened to me twice in 17, 000 miles. Just remove negative battery cable, wait 15 secs and reattach. All is fine. Worth it to me as it unleashes that 6.2 best u can short of an ECM tune.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

They definitely mention taking off before servicing, nothing along the lines of emission inspections. I’ve never had a check engine light fortunately so I was assuming everything was communicating on the emissions front . All good now though 🤙🏽

[@Rudyfastcat1]

I'm glad I live in San Antonio (Bexar county) because they don't do emissions testing here.

[@TheWolfMatt]

I was looking into getting that same system for my 19 GMC Sierra Denali w/6.2L until they wouldn't sell it to me as I live in southern CA. These units are "Not" CARB legal here and this might be the reason for it. Passing emissions laws here is nutz to say the very least so the CA smog police don't like us doing anything to our newer vehicles that might make them better, more powerful, get better mpg, etc. Yeah, kind of wish CA would let a lot of these little mods go as getting your engine to run right and the way you want is kind of important to most of us gear heads. Having power and a good sound from your vehicle make the right foot and ear holes happy.

Another thing they don’t tell you about the Pulsar LT is that you won’t get a check engine light turning on alerting you to a problem. I only know because I had lifter failure and the engine was misfiring horribly with no warning lights. Also, just by turning off the cylinder deactivation with the Pulsar LT, the lifters can still fail in a truck with less than 20,000 miles. The Pulsar LT was on there since new.

[@cougar310]

As a casual buyer , I traded my 2021 accord sport to Carvana for a 2021 Silverado rst because of Hondas issues and I liked the v8 power and unaware of this lifter problem till yesterday when I started getting the knock . Just wanted a reliable vehicle but now I’m stuck with GM,s silent thorn that got me unawares. After GM repairs all my lifters, I plan on getting the Pulsar after the warranty. I now can’t honestly trade it back to Carvana because of this defect, even w only 4500 miles, so I’m stuck with this unreliable but beautiful truck. BTW we lived in Kona 16 years then transferred to Denton , which looks like your neighborhood maybe Justin. Now in Florida with no vehicle inspection! Thanks for the information on your videos!

[@mr_tbot]

Pulsar does nothing to stop the lifters issue. The issue is with the design of the pushrods not with the programming of the DFM. Whether you have DFM enabled/disabled the pushrods can still get bent out of shape. It is honestly a “luck of the draw” situation. I have a 2021 Trail Boss, just passed 10k miles and have not had the issue. I also have been running with DFM enabled the entire time. Most say if you pass 10k without the issue then it is unlikely you will see it but I guess I’ll find out.

Do you or perhaps one of your followers know if the separate Range AFM & DFM Disabler or the Range Start/Stop Disabler cause the same issue?
