"Pulsar Tuner" 2018 Ram Power Wagon (Install and Review)

[@sierragaragedoor3909]

My mph is inaccurate after adding 35’s. Does selecting your tire size adjust to the right reading? Right now im off about 3mph

[@Destroyer1320]

It does not, I have the same issue. I tried several settings and it is still off 3mph

[@sierragaragedoor3909]

@@Destroyer1320 w Well shit. Who’s wife do you have to tickle to get the mph correct?

[@Destroyer1320]

@sierragaragedoor3909 I bought a WiFi OBD2 scanner and set it to 35s as well. No change, I would like to find out how to fix it as well so we can share it out to everyone. Frustrating

[@Destroyer1320]

If you find the wife share her name, hahaha

[@sierragaragedoor3909]

I purchased the pulsar and changed my tire settings. Don’t enter the tire in as 35” I have 35’s and my actual tire height it 33.5”. That corrected my Speedo. Measure your tire height!

I've got a 2015 RAM 2500 that famously tows horribly on steep hills (as demonstrated on Ike's Gauntlet). I pull a 34' 10K lbs TT. It stands to reason that this would improve my towing performance on grades?? Great vid - thanks!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Yikes ! That's a lot of pins 👀Great to hear you dig it !

[@CPthetooladdict]

She seems pretty peppy pretty cool that you can put a whole module in like that and not have to use the stupid micropod! Awesome vid

[@Destroyer1320]

Thanks brother

[@242autowerks]

Good video, stickers on the ground; HILARIOUS! 👍👍

[@Destroyer1320]

Appreciate it!

[@mattk3934]

Had the same issue with mine ended up having to pull the ecm mounting plate off an drill out the bolt holes and grind the back of the plate down! Got about an 1/8 of an inch of clearance from the ac lines. Was a pain in the ass but it fits..need to fill up with 91 octane still to run in performance level..

[@christopherpapin6574]

I’m probably gonna get a pulsar for my 6.4 too but I have a S&B cold air intake for mine and it made it more snappy I would recommend getting one for your truck I’m sure you’ll even notice more power

[@Destroyer1320]

Sweet I will look into that cold air thank you!

[@rodgallant7486]

Did you see any fuel savings with the S&B And Pulsar?

[@Destroyer1320]

@@rodgallant7486 It increased 1MPG but I drive hard so that is good.

[@christopherpapin6574]

@@rodgallant7486 I did notice my mpg got better with my cold air intake only because there designed bigger than other intakes also made my truck sound better

[@jmack7351]

Had one on 18, 5.7 1500 loved it!

[@ModernRedHemi]

Great video brother! Curious to see how well it does long term.

[@Destroyer1320]

You and me both!

[@DanITGuy]

Noice! Its gotta be pretty good when you can tell from just the video that its more responsive! Nice! #PULSARPERFORMANCE #RAM #WATCHTHIS

[@Destroyer1320]

Oh yeah!

[@musclecarmitch908]

Great name for the truck! Great review of the tuner! Glad it worked good!

[@Destroyer1320]

Thanks Mitch

[@victorxavier9977]

Very cool 😎 thx for the review 👍

[@Destroyer1320]

You bet

[@Roninforged]

Looks like my old neighborhood in Avondale, AZ, lol. Nice rig man!

[@jamiehill9578]

I've noticed that u had the settings on performance with mds off but was seeing that your eco light was on witch I've heard that this won't shut mds off,,,,, so half the cost u could buy a banks peddle monster and really do the same thing,,,, just speaking my thoughts

[@jddekens]

Are you running high octane? I got the tuner and the instructions say only run modes 7 and 8 with 91 octane. Curious if that’s necessary?

[@Destroyer1320]

I always do just to be safe.

[@jaymiller1465]

Was curious if you towed anything and noticed a difference. I’ve got a travel trailer I haul around and this is just about the only tuner you can find for the 6.4 Hemi with adjustable modes. Thanks & appreciate the video!

[@Destroyer1320]

Yes I have, I noticed is the shift RPM is different with the Pulsar and fuel mileage is better. I suggest adding Rear air bags if your hauling a lot just to save on your springs. Hope this helps.

[@jaymiller1465]

@@Destroyer1320 I’ve got the Firestone system. Definitely makes a difference!

[@davidtanasichuk9008]

Does cruise control still function normally even with the Pulsar uses those buttons to change settings?

[@Destroyer1320]

Yes, once and a while I can't get it to turn on the cruise but turn it off and on and it's fine.

[@carmob7499]

I C She Has A little more Pep In Her Step !! Nice Mode

[@prodigy6000]

A very expensive throttle controller

[@geraldchilders2625]

I just got a 2023 and it rips stock not sure if they changed anything but I have good power I would like more going to buy one and see

[@Destroyer1320]

Let me know what you think once installed

[@danaberman6929]

Did they update the kit for the new gauge cluster? I have a new 2023 Power Wagon and wanted to check first prior to buying.. Thanks

[@Destroyer1320]

@@danaberman6929 I would contact them directly before buying one. 1-866-464-6553

[@dustyb1664]

diffrent transmission makes a big difference

[@veterantrucker2298]

So i just ran across your page today man so whats the mpg you average towing and normal driving ive got 35s and get 15 mpg on a regular basis but i get on rare occasions 17 and 9 towing

[@Destroyer1320]

I get 13 pretty much no matter what. I do all city driving. I always use tow mode.

[@MrStalker368]

Thanks for the video!

[@highdesertexplorer123]

Went to the website and it doesn’t show it being available for the 2023 ram 2500 6.4 hemi. I would imagine it would be the same as the 2022 but I’ll wait until there is confirmation. I really only want the ability to disable MDS.

[@Destroyer1320]

That is my favorite part! You will like it I am sure. Once someone else tests it on a 2023 that is....

[@toofastnobrakes]

Ide love to see some dyno numbers for this thing. Also, since there is a tow mod tune, is the tow and haul mode button still necessary?

[@Destroyer1320]

I would love to see the Dyno numbers as well, The only thing I noticed the Tow/Haul button is good for is hill assist. If you do not push the button Hill assist will not engage.

[@timothystone5785]

How about warranty deal at the dealership

[@SWVA08V2K]

The AC line must be a Power Wagon thing. I installed the same one on my Laramie and had no clearance issues. Also had a friend who has a PW who ran into the same clearance issue as you.

[@ericmandragona4635]

What's your thoughts after installing the Pulsar? Are you happy with the results? Two things: Do you need higher octane fuel for the performance modes and does the install keep idiot lights on of the dash.

[@SWVA08V2K]

@@ericmandragona4635 I’ve had mine installed since 19 (the older version) and not had the first issue. I paid $300 ish for it. For that price I thought it was well worth it, especially if you’re not going to do any major modifications to have to tune it. But for the price they are now, it would be tough for me to buy it again for what it does. As for the higher octane fuel, I run 87 in the performance mode all the time and not experienced the first problem.

[@ericmandragona4635]

@@SWVA08V2K thank you sir. I appreciate the feedback.

[@jackgrice3499]

Can you adjust the tire pressure sensors? Or at least turn off the light on the dash I upgraded tires rated for 65 psi and the lights on wants me to fill them to 80 psi I need it to go away I want to fix that and mds delete

[@Destroyer1320]

You will need and OBD programmer to turn off the light.

[@hammerdown5568]

Now does the cruse control still work since it used the buttons on the steering wheel I gotta drive 90 miles a day every day with mine

[@Destroyer1320]

Yes it does

[@jddekens]

Does it only work with 91 octane ?

[@Destroyer1320]

Yes

[@BobbyBarbaraPeanuts]

Always creating something 🤣

[@stackerothings]

Are you still liking the Pulsar? I am contemplating getting one.

[@Destroyer1320]

Yes it really makes a difference, the modes are great and the mileage is 2MPG better when running in tow mode. Strange but yes Tow mode gave me the best mileage and performance.

[@Guy321guy]

Get a pedal commander too. Spin my tires at lights all the time.

[@jefahfah5956]

I've got a 2016 PowerWagon, I can't seem to find a Pulsar unit. It's saying I need to send my PCU in to get unlocked. Did you have to do that?

Does this tuner help with fuel wise.
