Thanks for the comparison video.

@jordanv5400 Жыл бұрын

would you please do an update on the regens and how it affects your EGTs. Truck Master claims the bolt on/inline tuners are no good with a DPF because the added fuel adds more soot…im curious what your thoughts are?

@JWMontoya Жыл бұрын

Anything that adds power on emissions compliant will increase the soot level. Edge programmers all have EGT control though 👍

So for a brand new virgin L5P which would you recommend? Also can you do an updated video of "these are the mods you should do if you just bought an L5P" because I'm new to all this as I'm sure others are and would like to know the steps to take with my 2023 at4 2500 diesel

With the pulsar you have 5 different tunes. Do you know what tunes r better for what driving application? The evo shows it's tunes as eco,heavy and light towing and extreme. On the pulsar 5 is the most HP but what would be best for eco and or towing?

@JWMontoya Жыл бұрын

Tune 3 is recommended for towing I believe. Edge products’ website shows their power level graph

So you’re running custom tuning and you only have it on your ecm correct? My question is can you purchase the evo and and tune your transmission only since there on separate operating systems

The way the Evo works is it flashes both ECM and TCM at the same time. I’m just not sure if it that process is safe enough to not brick my modified ECM

thank you for doing this video explaining the difference between pulsar and evo, are they working on trans tuning on 17 thru 19, I have a 18 l5p I installed a cts3 monitor and I'm having issues with it, I need to contact edge about this unit. the monitor keeps turning itself on and when driving the truck it keeps going from gauges to gauge editor then back to gauges on its own, it does this the whole time I'm driving. it's very aggravating and I'm tired of this issue. have you had any issues like this, I've updated it and it says it's up to date.

They can force an update to fix some of those issues. If it’s defective, I think it should be covered under the warranty

I have the pulsar for my 2022 L5P. My mechanic at the dealership stated that the pulsar stopped my truck from going into regen. Without the truck going into regen, it now has a clogged particulate filter which has to be replaced (back order), so I am running around with half the engine power. Has anyone else had this issue with the pulsar?

@JWMontoya Жыл бұрын

I’m always skeptical of what they tell me at dealerships… pulsar v3 has the ability to force regen so you could definitely try that.

@farmgineering3259 Жыл бұрын

I have the pulsar in my 18, I now just run it on stock because I was getting non stop engine lights and more frequent regens. Makes sense now that they would not sell me the pulsar with buying the cts3 with it. More soot means more wear on the engine and less life from the DPF . Although I guess I do like the features that the pulsar offers, aside from the tuning.
