installed my Pulsar LT last week on my 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 5.3 and WOW. definitely wont go back to stock it is amazing... i love all 7 features but mostly the DFM deactivation, throttle response and Auto stop deactivation. these are the big 3... you won't be disappointed.

First off, big props to you! I probably wouldn’t have gotten one of these if not for your video a few months back. I love my pulsar LT and honestly have contemplated getting a 2nd one just to have if my wife ever trades in her car for a trailboss/at4. I only have the 5.3 1500 as of now and I am glad I have this. I drove mine around bone stock for a couple months and hated the tediousness or remembering to turn off auto stop/start every single time I got in to drive 2 mins or 20 mins. The best thing for me is the throttle sensitivity mod, my v8 has been awoken from a coma it should’ve never been put in and I love it. Keep up the good work!

One thing I noticed is you have the sunroof option. I think GM should have a class action against them for the 2019 and up trucks with sunroof and power sliding rear window. If you have both, the body flexes enough while cornering that over time the frame for the power slider cracks at the top. You can't see it from the outside, but it then begins leaking into the cab. The fix at that point is to drop your headliner and remove the piece that has the third brake light in it and use a good flexible sealant to repair the crack.

Thank you for this review Chase! How fast have you "heard of" people getting after removing the gov on the 2021's? I've had: 2004 - 5.3 SLT that would do 117 with street tires, K&N, Magnaflows, and a custom tune. 2014 - 5.3 SLT that would do 127 with 12.5/33/20 Ridge Grapplers, K&N, Flowmasters, and a custom tune. 2017 - 6.2 Denali that would do 132 with 12.5/33/20 Ridge Grapplers, K&N, and store bought tune. Never got around to exhaust. ... so I heard on all of these speeds. LoL Don't know about this 2021 Denali yet. It still has the 106 gov. *That's why I'm watching this video* If anyone cares to know from a 30 yr GM owner, if I had known that GM made them so hard to tune now, I would have bought a Ram. And, I love my Denali. It's fully loaded. I love the Denali ride, the heads up display, adaptive cruise, sport mode, off-road mode, and definitely the multi-pro tailgate. I wanted an AT4 with all of that, but ..... chip shortage. Anyway, I love my truck. And, I have a long history with GM and putting down Ram, and family has a long history with GM, but I would have bought a Dodge for that one reason. I'm absolutely pissed that GM went nanny-state. Doge was the runner up, and this definitely would have pushed Ram to the top.
