alright guys, i've been away from here for a while but i'm starting to get interest again in my truck and i'm wanting a new box. either the edge drag comp or adrenaline/pulse.

i want to know if quad has worked out the adrenaline? i tried searching but all the posts i found were from 09 at the latest, and it seemed like 08-09 had a lot of people annoyed by little problems and such. i'm j/w if this has gotten better now and the adr is all good to go? anyone running one now have opinions? i think id like one with the new pulse v2. i know the comp box is pretty reliable and if the adr is still problematic ill just go that way.

thanks in advance!

i have had my adr since it came out and i (knock on wood) havnt had any problems with it. only thing i noticed i dont like about it is that with the 2000 tunes at around 70mph curising i get a little bit of surge but cure for that is just go faster.

Adrenaline works well.
There will always be a tendency for minor surging because of throttle position power....versus boost activatedpower from all other boxes.
If you play with the custom tuning.... you can build a program that won't surge for your set up!
I daily drive with just big injectors and the Smarty on #7..... about 425 hp.
My Adrenaline is set for 0 timing (use smarty for that) and set for 4 power levels. #1 and #2 are permanent. My PL3 is 1/2 fueling and my #4 is full "Competition" fueling.
And as you have probably read....the HP from the Andrenaline is second to none.... except redline (race only).

I'm also excited about the new Pulse V-2. Thread HERE.

so I guess I should expect surging around 2k rpms (55-60mph)? It's kind of anoying getting on the hwy w/od locked out and I pretty much have to completely lay off the pedal. Is there a trick or specific process to download other tunes....I tried it for abut an hour using directions from Quad but it would never allow a program change. Any exp w/b appreciated. Using WinXP and pretty much a new pc.

Been a while, and I'm no IP person, but I remember having problems with my XP, in the neginning. Only thing that worked for me was setting up a Tune folder on my desktop.... saving all tunes to it.... then downloading from my laptop to the Adrenaline or the Pulse.

ok...thank you. One other issue....when towing this weekend....the temp hit 190-195 when coming off the hwy...after idling while out of the truck, I get going again and the Adr goes back to zero setting. Does it automatically do this when the temp hits 190* as a saftey measure? It was 96* outside. Plenty of antifreeze and temps would go back to 185* when driving. I'm getting rdy to head to Death Valley/Havasu and temps are 110*+. I don't need to have coolant issues. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

RowJ

I'm guessing you have the Water Temp Block Out set for 190*??
If so, I would think it would re-block PL setting anytime temps drop below set level.
Mine is set at 180* and therefore has never gotten low enough to reset while still running, so........??

ok...thanks. Another reason I'm trying to download a tune. Hmm, I guess I'll try the download again tonight. 190* is not that hot.
