Pulsars are excellent test grounds for fundamental physics. As precise cosmic clocks, they have been used in many experiments, especially in testing gravitational theories. We report 20-year timing of one of the most precise pulsar---J1713+0747, conducted using the GBT and Arecibo telescopes. The result can be used to constrain alternative gravitational theories and test the constancy of gravitational constant.
