The Pulsar V3 is on.
Took me 48min to install, including getting the thing out of the box, tool clean-up, and test drive. Pretty basic install, and really clean operation.
This is way way better than the throttle spoofer.
It being a piggy back, it still doesn't completely get that "going from a stopped idle" lag time resolved, but it's way more manageable.
The pedal mapping is much better, and the extra power is good too.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. It's a good alternative to $3k and shipping my PCM out to have a chip resoldered on.
Thanks for all the help guys!
I've had the truck a month, and probably just need some air bags and meatier tires to finish it off.
I got her leveled out, ceramic tint, underbody coated, 5th wheel hitch, tonneau cover, tuner, some smoked tint for the side markers coming in a couple days. And it's been a great family hauler so far.
