Added the Pulsar

[Maxram]

Has anyone updated the pulsar software? I just put mine in today and tested it out (didnt bother with updating since I need to order the cable to do it) and suffice to say the difference from stock to performance mode was pretty dramatic. Very pleased so far, hopefully no issues will arise.

Its

I've got a 2019 Ram 1500 4x4 with the Pulsar & Pedal commander (Bluetooth model) installed on my truck with B&S CAI, Borla SS muffler (3" w/o reso's), 3:21 gears, 20x10 with 33 12.50's & I can say with both turned up to Performance mode it is very hard to keep the wheels from spinning!! The truck went from mild to F-N WILD, with that said if I put both in eco-mode I can get 25 mpg's hwy & 17 city!! To those who are worried about dealership being able to see if something has been altered on the truck no worries just take 5 min & uninstall the Pulsar before you take it in for service. I've got 12,526 miles on the truck & with all the mods working together it's a ANIMAL, & I'm going to be installing Gibson long tube headers in the next month or so & hopefully turn my ANIMAL into a DEMON!!!!!

It’s not the quick option of uninstalling the pulsar. It’s what reads the dealer gets when looking at everything with a scan. Yes they can’t prove it but they still can deny you service if they think it has been altered. They would rather see if you actually go the extra mile and get a lawyer and do something about. Which most don’t. If they do, that is a long process. Guess what, you truck isn’t being serviced yet by them.

Curious is anyone had shift point issue in low gears and if the Pulser fixed/helped that issue? Seems like, along with myself, a lot of people have issues when shifting from 1st to 2nd at time, where it feels like it's not sure if it wants to shift, then it does with an annoying jerk/bump to it. Considering trying a Pulsar to see if the adjusted shift point might help. Anyone have any input on that?

Pulsar doesn't adjust shift points.

Have you changed tire size from factory? When you notice this jerk/bump is it when trying to accelerate after slowing down for a light thet changes before you come to complete stop?

I have changed up to 295s. I adjusted the tire size through the obdlink though.
The jerk usually happens if I'm in 1st and let off the gas a little before it shifts to 2nd. But it's not immediate, sometimes is seconds after a let off the gas. It's like it's stuck between gears almost.

295 is the tire width in mm.
Means nothing without the aspect ratio and rim diameter.

I understand how tire sizes work. The point is irrelevant though.

Well, letting off the gas would cause confusion with the TCM, so it's understandable. I usually keep it floored until I reach the speed I want

It's usually in a parking or something where I'm basically just rolling. Or about to come to a stop even.

Can you run Pulsar and Tazer at same time?

Can you run Pulsar and Tazer at same time?

Yes, although neither company will tell you they work together. The only thing is with the Pulsar on the truck, to use the Tazer, you have to keep cruise control on. So when you select a menu using the cruise on/off menu, you have to let go of left button, turn cruise back on, press left button, then continue with selections.

Can you run Pulsar and Tazer at same time?

Yes, both are working flawlessly in my truck. They use the same +/- buttons on the cruise but the tazer requires an extra button to be pushed to activate its features. You just have to remember which system requires the button or not, but there is no actual interference other than you remembering which does which.

To be honest, for me the tazer is installed but doesn't need to be, I don't use the live features. I just needed it to change the DRL settings due to my morimoto headlights but I never touched tazer after that and it can technically be removed while still having my DRL settings applied.

Whats the difference betwen the module, the xt, and the CTS3 kit?

Whats the difference betwen the module, the xt, and the CTS3 kit?

Pulsar XT is just a glorified throttle controller that also allows you to adjust for tire size.

CTS3 kit just adds in the hand held, or mounted device that you can customize with different fishes to display vehicle data and also will tell you what mode you are in.

Regular Pulsar is a piggy back tuner with canned tunes for different performance levels. It will increase performance.
