Pulsar LT 10K mile review - EVERY SILVERADO NEEDS THIS!

[@Flies_the_limit]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pulsar LT comes with a preset gear ratio. Mine was preset 3.23 but my vehicle is a 3.42. So, make sure you know your vehicle gear ratio and program it accordingly.

[@jeffglessner6234]

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.

[@ShelbyForbes-oe6wu]

Just wondering how it’s holding up still? have any issues with it? Looking to get one for my 2018 Silverado and looking for a 1-2 year review on it

[@AlaskanSkimmer]

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!

[@chrismarbrey9678]

I bought a couple of the products introduced on this channel and the Pulsar LT is definitely a winner with me.

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

I got one in my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L)...and love it. No more Auto start/stop, no more DFM/AFM nonsense, throttle sensitivity, and more. Worth the money IMHO. Gotta love smokey burnouts!

[@stevepouliot6906]

I have it on my 2020 AT4 with the 5.3 and its been awesome highly recommend

[@christringrove3448]

Picking up my 2023 ltd premium tech pack in a few weeks and I’ve been trying to find some decent reviews on this tuner. Thanks mate will definitely be purchasing one now

[@thiessenkarakochuk8076]

Had the pulsar since new on my 6.2.. 16000km no complaints no issues definitely a must if you wanna go fast and get rid of auto stop and dfm

[@dennistv598]

How is it with the full v8 on did it make it faster?

[@killerbuellxb12]

This along with the Cold Air Induction intake are going to be the first upgrades to my 2020 trail boss. I absolutely LOVE my truck but she needs more pep in her step so thank you for the full walkthrough on both of these products!

[@danaberman6929]

I installed the same Pulsar for my 2020 Trail Boss with the 6.2. I absolutely love it. I have had it for about 5,000 miles and it works perfect. No more Dynamic Fuel shutting off cylinders, and no more having to turn off the stupid auto start/stop feature. I run the throttle sensitivity at 3... Perfect...

@@ShelbyForbes-oe6wu I now have just about 31,000 miles on my Trail Boss. No issues at all. Still love it. Crack up anytime I hear a truck without it go by with a V8. They sound like a helicopter. I still recommend it for anyone with the annoying dynamic fuel crap and having to turn the auto start button every start up. You can now get in, start up, and drive normally.

[@ShelbyForbes-oe6wu]

Thank you!!

[@jedeckert9525]

This thing has absolutely transformed my 6.2. It is like a completely different vehicle. Now I turned up the throttle response to 65% and I had to turn it down because I couldn’t keep the tires from spinning.

[@chowder271]

Late response, but if you look at the digital speedometer and it goes 20-30-40-50 I’m assuming those are settings 0-5, correct?

[@jedeckert9525]

@@chowder271 yea. Make sure your cruise control is turned off. Pushing cruise cancel does not turn off your cruise control. I couldn’t get it to work the other day and it took me a minute to figure out.

[@Bluestreakin52]

I LOVE MY THROTTLE RESPONSE, SEEMS LIKE I GET MORE TORQUE, DEFINITELY LOVE THE SPEED!

[@kevinwillard6652]

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.

[@GabrielTheGuitarist]

That’s so toxic. They have test to check flex and torsion. They have programs to simulate it even before production. They basically said ‘meh fuck it’ just like the transmission issues. Well, I guess you could always get a custom roll cage made to stiffen it all up.

[@kevinwillard7450]

@@GabrielTheGuitarist I’ve never had a transmission issue with a gm or Chevy truck. Ive put nearly 400,000 miles on every one of them I’ve owned, and while I’m really good at periodic maintenance I abuse my trucks on and off road.

Hey there… just brought the 2020 5.3L Trail Boss, I have, home from a Cylinder 1 Repair/rebuild. Covered under factory warranty. Have a bit over 12,500 miles. Service tech suggested a DFM delete plugin…and said to remove before any warranty service.

[@audirwb1152]

Installed this on TB after a DFM scare; love it! Truck seems to have a smoother acceleration and does what I want it to when I want it to. My mpg went down 2 mpg, but it is worth it.

[@michaelburckart1551]

Mine is on the way. I can’t wait.

[@Juanhundredand1]

I'm def getting one for my 20 at4 and I grew to like the auto stop start especially because of the exhaust sound turns heads all the time I have an s type borla sound awsome

[@AStanton1966]

I've also got the Borla S type on my 2017 Silverado 5.3. I can hear the truck start outside in the garage for those cold remote starts.

[@douglasbunker920]

Love the Pulsar. Do you find the speed limit setting doesn't save? I've noticed I have to set it every I get in the truck. Thanks for your video!

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Mine didn't work either when I set it for 140 mph. My truck hit the "speed wall" at 98 mph. 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L).

[@SteffsGarage]

Yes dude, so glad you did the burnout in the vid.

[@jeffreyhagelin3672]

One minor consideration is the speed rating of your tires Most vehicles aren't equipped with 140 MPH tires.

[@corona22707]

I have pulsar in my truck do to all these issues with dfm and auto stop annoying! The most enjoyable setting is throttle response levels. Me personally..I like level 3 also and always leave it there. I agree that it does make it feel as if you added hp lol but not. I just wonder if it void warranty? I notice you said you had yours and lifter still failed. But still able to get repaired under warranty. Some dealerships make a big fuss more then others unfortunately. Good things everything worked out for you.

[@juderand3182]

Hey, could you give me the link where you got those white grill inserts to cover the black plastic??!?

[@johnmalone4101]

I'm always scared when I see people saying lifters failed due to DFM. 132k on my 2015 yukon 5.3 when I sold it and not one issue with the engine. Now I have 2022 yukon 6.2 and wonder if I should disable DFM.

[@01CorvetteZO6]

Lord willing, I plan to get the AT4 refresh and im waiting on pulsar to be released for 22's. I'll have it in the box the day I bring the truck home.

[@JASPACB750RR]

I couldn’t image one a more sensitive throttle. My 20 6.2 Denali is very touchy. I got used to it, but everyone that drives it and I’m sitting passenger, it’s all jerky, feels like their launching every light. They say they’ve never driven a truck with that much ass. I may have to get one now if it makes the “seat of the pants” feel better.

[@bigtunadan]

It also has a setting that reduces sensitivity by 15%

[@RedRumRonnie5]

Commented on your first video for an update. Disregard 🤣 thank you!

[@samarmijo798]

I can understand most of these features but I'm not sure why you would want to deactivate dfm? The motor is actually working exactly the same. dfm just stops fueling the cylinders it doesn't need. Saving you fuel. You would rather feed all the cylinders unnecessarily?

[@WillyMandingoWinchester]

Do you know if the pulsar Lt can recognize a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust? I'm assuming it can't but I'm seeing guys run it with those two mods and It looks like they are on par with the guys who are using superchips and diablo! This chip or one of the previously stated can tunes is the route I plan to take because I don't wanna void my warranty by busting open my engine adding performance mods! The L87 is a great motor but it's not an LS376 lol😅!

[@1636patriot]

Speed limiter is for the tire speed rating so they don't blow off the rims...that said....giddy-up 140mph

[@Marcoluca_]

love it had it on my 2020 till i got a 2021 w no dfm. found one thing wrong with it when i took it off my 2020 before trading it. you loose plenty of power with the pulsar lt. when i took it off it pulled way more and you just felt everything way better

[@billystanley9471]

Do these void your warranty? EDIT: Maybe I should watch the video first. Lol.

[@RAXax]

I know I'm late to the party here, but hopefully @lmfscrew still gets notifications. Regarding taking the truck into the dealer for warranty work. Is it as simple as unplugging the box itself or does it require removing the harness as well? AKA if you unplug the box, but leave the harness connected with an open end at the box point in the harness, will the truck function normally as if in stock form or does it require something to be plugged in to work?

Disconnect the negative side before you do anything 👍

It leaves zero trace on the ecm. Just remove it before going in for any factory work.

Pulsar still hasn't come out with a compatible device for the newer LT 1500's. Very disappointing. You should change the title to read... "EVERY 8-SPEED SILVERADO NEEDS THIS", since it's useless on a 10-speed tranny.

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.
