Hey. I already have the pulsar in my '21 RAM 1500. Is it posible to get a ghost cam setting or map for the pulsar ?

IMO, Rams should have driving modes that can do basically this. It is weird that you have to buy an extra system to do something so obvious

How long does this device last? Does it ever burn out or need to change out?

[@treycherry1367]

research the need for the mds feature. turning it off will restrict oil flow causing potential issues. if you want to turn it off, you need to remove the system too. there are many videos on this topic

Can u adjust speed limiter with this?

[@kekin0000]

Is there one for the 2019 classic

[@memback]

Will this void warranty?

[@netsurfers9357]

Next you should replace the cast iron exhaust manifolds with some quality shorty headers and add a high volume oil pump to compensate cam wear. The design should have been like this in the first place! Aluminum heads heat/thaw differently than a cast iron block and iron manifolds are the weakest point to have problems with snapping bolts because of the rate changes in heat/thaw!

[@jack.9922]

Shouldn't you go with a high pressure pump instead? Sorry I'm planning on doing this to my ram 1500 after some kooks shorty headers just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing haha

[@Captain_Brown_Beard]

@@jack.9922 No high volume. High pressure doesnt increase oil volume, just the pressure before bleed off

I have the factory tow switch on my truck which usually just holds a lower gear. would I still use the factory tow switch if I have a pulsar?

[@Fixin-To]

Yes, use both modes in conjunction.

[@jonathanjr1894]

My 2020 classic has no way have changing the modes on the dash. The only control I have is just simply pushing the traction control and tow mode buttons. Would this tuner still work ?

[@HandOftehEmpirez]

I have the bighorn, you don't have the gear limit controls on the wheel? I use them everytime I put it drive for now until I get mine a tuner. I don't trust the MDS at all with the health of my engine or tranny.

[@ronaldojimenez2903]

Hey thanks for the video. My question is with the tow setting. While the tune is in tow do you still apply the factory tow mode?

[@taxevader9454]

Yeah you should still put your truck in tow/ haul mode

[@Tats_532]

Do you still use 87 with the pulsar? Or do you need to go to a higher fuel grade?

[@badlilstang]

I would assume higher grade as more octane allows for more timing which is how they are making more power..

[@wrongmower]

Thanks for sharing, got any ideas for a tuner for my 2016 Hemi 5.7 1500 ? Thank you

[@Cooch5RC]

Hi. I have this tuner in my 2017 Ram 1500. Works well most of the time. But when I am in stop and go traffic or other situations when I am giving light throttle inputs it triggers two trouble codes. One is low voltage to the TPS. So frustrating. Truck goes right into limp mode. Has happened to me in some pretty inconvenient locations to pull over and reset the codes. Makes me generally keep the tuner at the stock position. Anyone have this happen to them. Any resolutions? Thanks!!

[@JasonWeaver46]

Did you ever figure away around this? My truck does the same thing

[@Cooch5RC]

@@JasonWeaver46 Not yet. I sent it out to Edge last week. Waiting to get it back. They said they would take care of it free of charge and turn it around in 3 days or so.

[@Cooch5RC]

Update. After Edge tested my tuner they determined a circuit had failed and they made it right, a brand new unit! Free of charge. It's an updated tuner. I imagine the specs are the same, if not really close, but it has a new plastic (possibly HDPE) chassis. It's black and feels sturdy. 3 bolts in and out and a ride afterwards. I will know if my woes have been eliminated. I have confidence and will make another update soon.

[@johnponder531]

I have a Pedal Commander on my truck already. Will this Pulsar still work in conjunction with the commander?

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

We don't typically recommend "stacking" modules with something like this because it has the potential to cause issues, since both are altering parameters within the vehicle's computer systems. But good news is, this unit does alter accelerator pedal response in a similar way to the Pedal Commander. You won't have the same amount of adjustability here as you do with the Pedal Commander, but you do get an increase in power, some alterations to shift points, and the ability to disable MDS should you want to do that. So gives you some different types of adjustability. And if you don't like it, you could always remove it and just go back to the Pedal Commander. -Jake

[@jimrutters6097]
