Description of Range Technology RA005R GM Start/Stop Red Engine Optimizer

No more hesitation when restarting after stopping in traffic; when you're ready to go, you go. With start/stop disabled, your starting system won't be taxed nearly as much, saving you on costly repair bills in the future. In emergency traffic situations, you won't have to hope your vehicle starts quickly enough to get out of the way. Simply plug into your onboard OBD-II port and it instantly begins working to eliminate the Auto Start/Stop system. The Range Start/Stop Disabler does not reprogram your factory ECU. Fit type: Vehicle Specific.

Woks Great - Engines & Parts

This product works exactly as advertised. I have a 2020 Chevy Traverse and the only thing I don't like about it is the auto start/stop feature. That fixed it!

Pros
  • Range Start/Stop Interlock will not reprogram your factory ECU
Cons
  • Minorities

NOT NEW, Refurbished and No Serial Number

DO NOT purchase these damaged, used, factory remanufactured units, they will not work and will not have a serial number. They hide old goods under new barcode stickers.

Pros
  • Installation Type: Vehicle Specific
Cons
  • No Instructions

Buy directly from the range!

As others have said, Revain units are repackaged and/or defective. I bought 1 and it has only worked a couple of times and came in a box that had obviously been opened before. Too bad Revane allows that.

Pros
  • No more delays when restarting after stopping in a traffic jam; When you're ready, go
Cons
  • Minor issues

The idea behind this product seems great. Quality is good, assembly is easy. The problem is that it doesn't work with the 2020 GMC Sierra as stated on the Revain website and on their own website. After purchasing this unit, installing it and realizing it wasn't working on my truck, I contacted range support, here is their response: "Unfortunately, we don't officially support 10 speed vehicles yet. The units we currently have generally work for 10 speed vehicles. , but there are some minor…

Pros
  • With Start/Stop disabled there isn't nearly as much stress on your starting system, saving you expensive repair bills later
Cons
  • Nothing here
