Best tuner for 2019 Ram 1500

Any real world data on Pulsar fuel economy at about 65-70 mph on road trip in economy mode with 3.21 rear ratio? Not computer mileage, gals into miles on calculator. Wind info also helpful. Thanks.

I’m getting around 18-20 highway running 35’s though

I have 35s and MDS kicks in all the time. The pulsar is okay but I’m fairly sure it only adds throttle response. I don’t see much of a shift point change by changing tire size with the pulsar. Also I did multiple GPS speedos before and after the tire change and the speedo read the same. Idk why it did but it did.

Still waiting on some hard data before I pull the trigger on this one, awful tempting though.

Does the economy mode still get better throttle response then stock? Or do you really need to keep it in performance mode

No. It's "worse". It takes the light throttle region of operation and spreads it out over a longer travel of the pedal. This makes it really easy to keep MDS/ECO engaged at <2000 rpm. It will still give you full throttle on the floor.

As far as the responsiveness vs settings go, the modes are:

Economy - 3,4 - lazy
Stock - 1,2 - stock
Tow - 5,6 - moderate
Performance - 7,8 - agressive

Since nobody will make a Dyno run, how about a 0-60 ET on Stock vs Performance?

I’m only getting 11 mpg on my 35s with 3.92s and stock tune which i think is pretty bad considering I drive about 500-1000 miles a week. Would be awesome if it helped out.

Working on a video now.

When I get my Tazer DT installed this week, I'll record some 0-60 runs. Someone else reported a quicker 0-60. We'll see.

Posted this vid link before. It’s a 2017 with the Pulsar pulling 0-60 runs with 3 different performance levels. Not very scientific but it’s something.

I've searched the forum and hadn't seen this discussed anywhere yet so forgive me if I missed a thread. Anyone have any opinions/experience on a good tuner for the 2019 Ram 1500? I'm looking to get one for my new truck before too long in order to turn off the MDS. I've seen some reviews on the Diablo and it looks nice but was curious of other opinions.

Just installed my Diablosport pulsar last week...WOW!!! Worth every penny!!! Really wakes up the Ram!!!

Same Here, totally surprised me and love the way I can change it the tune while driving.

No complaints here! I was getting high 15 low 16 for mpg... now I get high 16 low 17 in performance mds off and 21 in economy mds off. Love it! Gotta admit though...it stay in performance mds off most of the time!

does the pulsar change the full throttle shifts? I like the smooth shifts at part throttle but this zf trans can snap off upshifts much faster than the factory tune does.

Here's a link to the Pulsar before and after dyno pull video if anyone is interested.

Added the Pulsar

Ortiz - I found stock and it’s throttle response to be kind of sluggish. Now, if you push the pedal down in stock mode, it’ll get up and go. Maybe the Pulsar in performance mode is all throttle response and some advanced timing without any real HP gain. They claim extra HP and torque. But...

Does anyone know when actual tunning will be available?

It is now. Diablosport has full tuning available now

Interested in this as well. The upshifts are wicked in our Durango R/T 8spd in factory sport mode. Really loud BLAAAAP between shifts and it puts you back a little.

Can't seem to find the diablo tuning.
