That ground strap should between the OEM PCM and the metal tab under it (towards the battery). Puitting it against the plastic body of the PULSAR is not ideal.
Next you should replace the cast iron exhaust manifolds with some quality shorty headers and add a high volume oil pump to compensate cam wear. The design should have been like this in the first place! Aluminum heads heat/thaw differently than a cast iron block and iron manifolds are the weakest point to have problems with snapping bolts because of the rate changes in heat/thaw!
Shouldn't you go with a high pressure pump instead? Sorry I'm planning on doing this to my ram 1500 after some kooks shorty headers just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing haha
Wagoneer comes standard with the ETorque. Unfortunately it is not functional in conjunction with the engine at the same time. Basically only assists with occasional start/stop acceleration for only 1/2 of 1 wheel turn.
Hi. I have this tuner in my 2017 Ram 1500. Works well most of the time. But when I am in stop and go traffic or other situations when I am giving light throttle inputs it triggers two trouble codes. One is low voltage to the TPS. So frustrating. Truck goes right into limp mode. Has happened to me in some pretty inconvenient locations to pull over and reset the codes. Makes me generally keep the tuner at the stock position. Anyone have this happen to them. Any resolutions? Thanks!!
@@JasonWeaver46 Not yet. I sent it out to Edge last week. Waiting to get it back. They said they would take care of it free of charge and turn it around in 3 days or so.
Update. After Edge tested my tuner they determined a circuit had failed and they made it right, a brand new unit! Free of charge. It's an updated tuner. I imagine the specs are the same, if not really close, but it has a new plastic (possibly HDPE) chassis. It's black and feels sturdy. 3 bolts in and out and a ride afterwards. I will know if my woes have been eliminated. I have confidence and will make another update soon.
My 2020 classic has no way have changing the modes on the dash. The only control I have is just simply pushing the traction control and tow mode buttons. Would this tuner still work ?
I have the bighorn, you don't have the gear limit controls on the wheel? I use them everytime I put it drive for now until I get mine a tuner. I don't trust the MDS at all with the health of my engine or tranny.
Looks like a great plug in & go with preset performance modes which is enticing but is it compatible with the 5.7 Hemi E-Torque set up on my 2021 Ram Limited & I assume it will violate my factory drive train warranty?
@@vinniecorleone62 Right. I don’t need it right now and can wait until all my warranties are up, but I figured if it doesn’t I might as well get it and have it installed to give my truck more horsepower.
@@timothywilson8526 I thinks it's a killer way cheap to obtain a nice chunk or additional HP & Torque. I already installed a Flowmaster Super-10 which made a difference & a cold air induction set up is next.
We don't typically recommend "stacking" modules with something like this because it has the potential to cause issues, since both are altering parameters within the vehicle's computer systems. But good news is, this unit does alter accelerator pedal response in a similar way to the Pedal Commander. You won't have the same amount of adjustability here as you do with the Pedal Commander, but you do get an increase in power, some alterations to shift points, and the ability to disable MDS should you want to do that. So gives you some different types of adjustability. And if you don't like it, you could always remove it and just go back to the Pedal Commander. -Jake
I just took out my pedal monster and installed the pulsar today in my 23’ ram 2500……i am wildly disappointed in the pulsar. Too much hype Ill be putting my pedal monster back in and returning the pulsar unit

It's got larger tires and more aggressive as well. Amd it was only ran up to 4th gear. The hp and torgue is what your truck is producing bwheby thr time it's to the wheel it drops

Would this void my warranty
I bought this from you guys. I followed the exact instructions for changing the ture size, however, my speedometer is unaffected. What do I do?
What would changeing the axle do does it up the power or anything
@@johnknight1237 will just make you're speedo accurate
Does absolutely nothing.
That ground strap should between the OEM PCM and the metal tab under it (towards the battery). Puitting it against the plastic body of the PULSAR is not ideal.
Hmmm good point.
Beat me to it. I was just about to mention something. 👍
So what octane of fuel do you run in These modes
IMO, Rams should have driving modes that can do basically this. It is weird that you have to buy an extra system to do something so obvious
Chrysler liability and warranty concerns. That's why
Do you still use 87 with the pulsar? Or do you need to go to a higher fuel grade?
I would assume higher grade as more octane allows for more timing which is how they are making more power..
You should be using at least 89 already since the owners manual says to.
@@toofa55umy 2020 bighorn just says don't run E85 n that's it
Can u delete the displacement with this

Does this work with a 2019 e-torque model?

Yes

If they never know you have it, no. If your motor or trans takes a shit and you're dumb enough to leave it on and take it to a dealer, yes.
How long does this device last? Does it ever burn out or need to change out?
Why does it say on your website that it wont work for my 21 RAM?

What throwing codes and messing up the front and rear sensors
Would this work with a tazer too since it also uses the audio page on the dash?

Yes
