    I make the circuit boards for the Pulsar LT. I have it currently installed on my 2019 5.3L Silverado. I have talked the engineers and made them aware of the emissions failure problem. They are in the process of testing this issue on my truck. I will let you know what we find out. I will post an update as soon as I know. Our engineers work very hard to insure that our products are top quality and that our customers are satisfied. I appreciate this channel and it's content. I hope I can be of some help.

      Yes Mr Simmons I would like to know also I've already had the problem with lifters and push rods collapsing at about 7,000 MI so they replaced all 16 lifters after a bitched enough so yes please come back on this page and let us know if they can fix that issue with the pulsar I have a pedal commander on here right now and I started thinking about it and hopefully it will somewhat disable this dfm system but I'm seriously looking at getting a pulsar LT I will have to learn how to put it on and you know we'll have to take her off once a year for the vehicle inspection so I guess I got to do what I got to do

      Unfortunately I live in the state where we have to have emission checks yearly I have a question what if I were to leave the Pulsar LT on and merely unplug the negative battery cable for say approximately 3 minutes would that not delete the programming of the Pulsar LT and would the truck go back to default mode and go off the original factory settings that way I could leave the Pulsar on then after the emissions test I could reprogram the Pulsar LT with without removing it from my truck??

    • @jsbigrigdad
      @jsbigrigdad ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@waynec211 The problem is that if you pull your battery cable and try to get emissions done the truck will fail. It PCM has to log the trucks emissions over so many miles. If you get it tested it will say not ready. I tried this with my truck. I am not sure about deleting the programs from the Pulsar. I will ask the engineers and find out.

      Yes I know I will have to drive it for 50 miles maybe 75 before it resets and it will pass emissions but just trying to get around having to take the Pulsar all the way off of my vehicle I was just hoping that it would default back to the factory settings and the pulsar would be taken offline until I went back in and reset the settings on the pulsar

    Another thing they don’t tell you about the Pulsar LT is that you won’t get a check engine light turning on alerting you to a problem. I only know because I had lifter failure and the engine was misfiring horribly with no warning lights. Also, just by turning off the cylinder deactivation with the Pulsar LT, the lifters can still fail in a truck with less than 20,000 miles. The Pulsar LT was on there since new.

    Lonestar - pulsar does tell you to remove it before servicing. That’s cause you can’t scan codes with it installed as you found out. OnStar diagnostics fail with pulsar also. Just part of the deal in having one. Sometimes when starting, they can get flakey. Check engine light and some other crazy warnings. Happened to me twice in 17, 000 miles. Just remove negative battery cable, wait 15 secs and reattach. All is fine. Worth it to me as it unleashes that 6.2 best u can short of an ECM tune.

    You can manually turn off your afm, by putting your truck in L mode which is manual shift it up to 9th gear if you have a 10 speed trans, and then drive normally with full 8 cyl working and it will not cycle down cylinders while keeping it at 9th gear . Its a manual trick turning off your afm, all silverado's can do this but its important to set one gear less than your top gear for your motor.

    the " NOT READY " status on your emissions report simply means the system has not yet completed a self diagnostic yet. some of the checks require several miles of driving and/or under certain conditions, if you had disconnected the battery etc recently (losing power to the ECM) that would cause this scenario. It may not necessarily be your Pulsar.

Now the truck is showing I/M ready. This proves the the DFM disabler is what causes trucks to show not ready. You don't have to remove the Pulsar. Just turn the DFM on, (stock setting) and drive for about 100 miles and you should be good.

Just wanted a reliable vehicle but now I’m stuck with GM,s silent thorn that got me unawares. After GM repairs all my lifters, I plan on getting the Pulsar after the warranty. I now can’t honestly trade it back to Carvana because of this defect, even w only 4500 miles, so I’m stuck with this unreliable but beautiful truck.

      Pulsar does nothing to stop the lifters issue. The issue is with the design of the pushrods not with the programming of the DFM. Whether you have DFM enabled/disabled the pushrods can still get bent out of shape. It is honestly a “luck of the draw” situation. I have a 2021 Trail Boss, just passed 10k miles and have not had the issue. I also have been running with DFM enabled the entire time. Most say if you pass 10k without the issue then it is unlikely you will see it but I guess I’ll find out.

    You might be able to disable AFM/DFM completely stock. I had a range disabler on my 2016 Silverado 5.3 and it failed emissions, saying emissions monitoring was not ready. After searching the web I discovered that if you put the truck in M5 it will not allow AFM to engage. It allowed emissions monitoring to work and I passed inspection. You might be able to put your truck in M8 or M9 and see if your truck does the same thing.

These units are "Not" CARB legal here and this might be the reason for it. Passing emissions laws here is nutz to say the very least so the CA smog police don't like us doing anything to our newer vehicles that might make them better, more powerful, get better mpg, etc. Yeah, kind of wish CA would let a lot of these little mods go as getting your engine to run right and the way you want is kind of important to most of us gear heads.

    I dont have the pulsar yet but i have pulled my 2 fuses under the hood in the fuse box. They are marked AFM but i think its for the DFM. I would love to see you do a video on seeing if it turns off the DFM. You have the cameras to do it plus the exhaust. I think it would be a cool video.

If you don’t do any highway driving then yes it would be a great mod to purchase. Lonestar Hawaiian did a review on the AVS shield and it was one of the mods he regrets installing. Hope this helps!

    I installed the Pulsar LT on my 2019 Silverado. I love it. I did remove it when I took my truck to Chevrolet dealer about an issue with transmission shifting. Long story short, the dealer replaced my torque converter under warranty. Now I am getting a P0498 Code EVAP System Vent Valve Control Circuit Low. I did find a vacuum line disconnected from the air box and plugged it back up. Now I can clear the code but it keeps coming back. Do you think the Pulsar LT could be affecting the EVAP System? Just a thought.

    Had my Pulsar LT fail on my 2020 GMC Sierra AT4 6.2 today. I was driving on 35 leaving San Marcos and my trucks check engine light turned on and popup came up saying Stability Control Not Available. Truck then went into safe mode with Engine reduced Power popup. Couldn't go over 40 mph. Pulled over and turned the truck off for 1 min then tried turning the truck on again with no luck, truck was dead with just the accessory lights working. I figured that issues could be the Pulsar because its the only mod i have on the truck other than a leveling kit. I unplugged the pulsar and boom the truck turned on and no check engine light. Pulsar had been on for a year and 4 months, roughly about 20K miles worth.
