Pulsar LT for 2021 6.2L 10 Speed Initial Review

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Check out the new video on what kind of MPG I'm getting now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5unf6Stq8-IqpI

Ive had it on my 6.2 trailboss and wow luv the truck powertrain so much more better than my last two f150 5.0 sooo much more better.

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Mine will be in tomorrow for my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L). I found a local fuel station (distributor gas station type deal) that sells 94-octane "racing fuel" here in Oklahoma (it is hard to find 93-octane anywhere in this state). Arkansas, Texas, Missouri...no problem finding 93. The truck literally "ROARS" with 94-octane. Prob not much difference between 93/94. BUT, I can feel a difference between 91 pump and 94.

[@palerider55]

Let me tell you about this DiabloSport, or Ranger, or Super Chips... whoever is selling this thing, I mean the *Pulsar LT*... not more than 45 minutes ago I was down by the boat ramp in my town checking out the river and noticed my A/C was blowing hot air in my 2019 Chevy Silverado LTZ. So I set the temp control down lower expecting it blow cool again but it didn't. I thought how strange, it's never done that before. Well about then I started getting warnings on the center display in my gauge cluster, and I mean about EVERY warning I think there IS, malfunctions lights came on, just everything, as in absolute total failure of every damn thing on the truck. So I drove it to a spot where I could pull over and shut it off thinking it might reset. Nope. WOULDN'T EVEN RESTART. NOTHING. So I opened the hood, unhooked the *Pulsar LT*, and the truck started back up. Everything was normal again EXCEPT, it still thinks it's FORTY BELOW ZERO outside and the A/C still won't work on auto temp control. I am RETURNING this POS. It didn't even last a MONTH, and it appears it screwed up either the outside air temp sensor or the parameter in the ECM. If it doesn't reset itself somehow, which I highly doubt it will, I'll have to take it in to the dealer, but in any case, I recommend to anyone thinking of buying one of these things, make damn sure you're ready for whatever it may do to your truck, and to suffer the consequences.

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Bro, that really sucks you had a bad experience.

[@stevefowler6539]

Similar experience! Got up and started off to work one morning. Stopped to get gas. Upon trying to restart my truck to leave I received every code possible. Truck would not turn over. Had to have it towed to dealership. Disconnected battery cable and unhooked the Pulsar and it restarted back up. Sent back for a refund. Worked fine for about 4k miles. Good idea but definitely has bugs. 2020 6.2 LTZ

[@Laidoffsick]

I put one in my 2021 5.3 Trail Boss. Love it! Both the truck and the Pulsar

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Nice! Yeah, I'm loving them both so far too. I had a 2006 5.3 silverado I owned for 12 years and didn't want to sell it until I was showed the new model 6.2L.

[@atlant2566]

i just got myself 6.2 ESV and i hate how it switches from V8 to V4 i dont want to save gas if i wanted to i would never buy a 6.2L. Do you like the set up? also do you need to reprogram again if you take it off and put it back on for example to go to dealer service. Thanks bud

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Hey, yeah I really love this setup (I'm st 30,000 miles now). They didn't have handheld tuners when I bought this so it was the only option. I also had the DFM and that was the main reason why I got it. I'm pretty sure I'd you take it off it automatically goes back to stock and then when you put it back on you have to reprogram it. I haven't had to take it off yet.

[@abelcastrojr4557]

We’re you able to unbox it and get straight into modifying basically plug and play? Or did you have to go online and update it from a computer?

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Straight up plug and play.

[@danielsweeney-me7wm]

I’ve been driving in L9 until my Pulsar arrives. After pulsar install can I just go back to Drive?

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Yes. 👍

[@Mistickman47]

I have a 2019 suburban with a 6.2L with a 10 speed will it work I can only find for Chevy and gmc pickups

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I'd message range technology and ask them.

[@darrin2053]

Does anyone know when the cylinder deactivation is off how much it actually affects the mileage? Genuinely curious how effective it is

[@ordinary_arkansan]

I did a video on it.

[@WillyMandingoWinchester]

Does the pulsar recognize add ons like cold air intake and cat back exhaust and can you leave the DFM active? I ordered my truck without auto stop so that's not an issue but I would like to adjust the throttle and turn off the speed governer!

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Not really sure. I've got a CAI and true duals coming from the cats and it didn't affect it (pulsar) at all. You can turn it off and on. If at some point you want DFM on, you just go back through the setting sequence and turn it back on. You can control the throttle response while driving with the cruise control buttons.

[@WillyMandingoWinchester]

@@ordinary_arkansan Sounds good...thanks for the response! Based off what I've seen this is the best route! Why spend all that money on Diablo or superchips if your output will be the same as if you used the pulsar Lt? Honestly I would love to get 425-450hp to the wheels of my 22 GMC 6.2 but I doubt its possible without busting open the engine or adding mods that will void my warranty!

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Haha I feel the same way. I really want to install that whipple 3.0 but probably going to wait for the 100,000 mark or close to it.

[@WillyMandingoWinchester]

@@ordinary_arkansan You sound just like me...I want it too man🤣! My plan is to ride the 💩 out of this L87 eco-tech 6.2 and upgrade to an LS376, new whipple 3.0, full exhaust, better gears and a custom tune🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑!

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Heck yeah! Sounds amazing!

[@joshuamurphy4304]

I have a 2021 rst 6.2 is this compatible? Can you drop a link to it????

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Yes. Thats the exact truck I have. I have a link for it at the top of the description.

[@Babyjokers2.0t]

By any chance do you know how much hp you gained? As well as the 1/4 mile time?

[@ordinary_arkansan]

There would be no HP gain from the Pulsar. All it does is adjust throttle response and delete the DFM.

[@clyde_kentucky6744]

I have a 2021 6.2 trail boss and a few months ago i installed a peddle commander. If i install the pulsar lt will i have to uninstall the pedal commander since the pulsar already changes throttle sensitivity?

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Hmm. Thats a good question. I honestly don't know.

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Part of me wants to say, yeah. I think you'll need to uninstall the peddle commander. If it were me, I would sell the peddle commander since the Pulsar does the exact same thing.

[@clyde_kentucky6744]

@@ordinary_arkansan Also one more question, for the gear ratio change is that when you re gear your truck ?

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Yes

[@jimmywilson4809]

I run mine on three.

[@ordinary_arkansan]

Yeah, I bumped it down to 3 also.

[@dylansnaps2110]

Hey do you use 87 or 93 in your truck ? Or is it mandatory to run 93?

[@ordinary_arkansan]

I run 93. You don't have to, it's only recommended but you won't get as good MPG or HP if you run anything under 93.

What kind of leveling kit do you have?

[@ordinary_arkansan]

It's Rough Country's 2in spacers that go on top of the coil springs. I like them because it doesn't mess with the geometry of the upper control arms.

[@cecilotto504]

you will lose your cruise control feature 😢

[@ordinary_arkansan]

No you don't

[@thorpower1015]

Junk! Caused all sorts of codes in my 2020 6.2 Silverado. Sent back for a refund.

That sucks man. 😕 I haven't had a single code. Must have been a defective one.
