Worked fantastic for 7 months then stopped working. TO UPDATE! I actually unplugged and plugged it in and it's working again. Looks like a reset is needed. It still works. My oil consumption in my 2008 Avalanche went from 1 1/2 liters per 4000 miles to 1/2 liter. with a mileage of 120,000 km. My Ave MPG dropped from 15.5 to 14.5 while using this device. I liked how it worked, smoother acceleration and braking. I will contact Range for a replacement.

Don't waste your time! Get a tuner with expansion.

So yes, it works. This will prevent your truck from going from v8 to v4. However. This thing will only eat up your battery if you leave your truck for a few days, which is just ridiculous. My battery is not that old and I never had a problem until I bought this. If I don't take it off every time I turn off the car, I'll end up with a dead battery. It warns you in the instructions if you park it for a while to remove it, but no matter what, it's literally just eating up my battery. I should have

The codes have not yet been thrown away and my warranty will not be voided.

Seems to do what it promises. I've been using it for a month and no problems. I used to average 17mpg in my 2018 Silverado. Now I get 16.9 mpg compared to my last two tanks. In my opinion, this is a small price to pay for improved throttle response and fewer shifts into 4-cylinder mode. It actually drives me a little crazy to think that GM uses AFM in all of these engines and it doesn't even add mileage for the average consumer. I would go to a performance tuner but didn't want to risk my…

GMC Sierra 1500 feels more responsive

I am using this unit on my 09 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 and have noticed a big difference in performance. I've had this truck for almost two and a half years now and it's much stronger and more responsive when I step on the gas. It used to fluctuate a bit and after about 1-1.5 seconds the revs jumped up and put a heavy load on the engine. I suspect it was because it switched from V4 to V8 because now it doesn't oscillate at all and that puts less stress on the engine. I will update this review if I…

Fixed AFM lift bug.

This item was a lifesaver. I have a Tahoe 5.3L and had a horrible AFM lifter failure - when the engine went back to 8 cylinder mode from 4 cylinder mode one of the lifters became stuck causing a misfire (check engine light code P0300 , Stabilitrak Warning, Engine Runs very rough, strong smell of gasoline.Confirmed the problem was in the cylinder 1 tappet by replacing coil packs and injectors.The shop offered $3,800 to open the head and replace the lifters or swap out the motor for about $3,000…

  • Big and bulky

I hated how my 2017 Chevy Silverado drove without it.

I hated how my 2017 Chevy Silverado drove without this product. I put a non-original exhaust on my truck and every time it switched to 4 cylinder AFM mode the truck shook horribly. Terrible hum coming from the exhaust system in the cabin. It went like crap to be honest. I'm building this product on a truck that works as it's supposed to, no more 4 cylinder nonsense. If I wanted a 4 cylinder truck, I would buy a 4 cylinder truck. Mileage is almost the same. It runs so bad in this 4 cylinder mode

Friends, don't let your friends drive fart cars!

I have a 2015 Camaro 2SS with automatic transmission and L99 W/AFM engine. Fart mode was less noticeable with the stock exhaust. As soon as I turned the axis system back on, the fart mode was very noticeable! Something had to be done about it! Since I didn't want to void the warranty on the tuner, I needed an alternative. Enter the area! Plug it in and AFM turns off completely. Pull it out and fart mode is back and the dealer will never know if you need service. It is well documented that AFM…
