I’ve had my AFM Delete module plugged in for almost 20,000 miles now not a single issue. I’ve noticed it solved my burning oil issue also from dropping to V4. I have 129,000 miles on my 2014 Sierra and still driving like the day it drove off the lot 🤘
Been running a range on my 14 Silverado for the last 2/3 months. Honestly it’s the best purchase I have made for the truck.... Great video!
Just ordered it. Thanks for the video John and stay safe!!
Ran one of these on my 2008 Silverado years back and loved it. I bought it for the aftermarket exhaust I put on and found out later about motor issues when switching from v4 to v8 and was really glad I did it 👍
Installed one on my 17 High Country 6.2L and year after I bought it new.. Had no issues and the gas mileage didn't change at least nothing worth talking about. All in all a good device. Enjoy yours and keep us up to date with it. Nova Scotia fan
Been running it on my ‘17 Silverado for over a year now...love it , no issues. Not worried about fuel mileage so much, it’s a truck right!
How is it u still use it?
@@Lifehackz137 actually traded the truck about a year ago. Had to get a 2500HD to tow a 5th.
Love mine in my 2015 1500 LTZ. I’ve had it plugged in for the last 1200 miles. So much more responsive and no more exhaust helicopter effect. Mileage has gone UP for me.
How much did MPG improve by?
I have a 2018 z71 and been getting 18-19mpg with afm turned off via Superchips tuner. Stock tires with a leveling kit. Runs a lot smoother than with it on. Also noticed the helicopter sound through my 3" dynomax exhaust before when it went into 4cyl mode. Keep up the good content 💪👊
19’s, 20’s and 21’s still have the afm
After my #8 cylinder lifter failed the 2nd time I put the range disabler in.. I have had no issues since, for several years, no codes, works great. And I could feel the shutter when in v4 mode before.
I'm with you, I could tell. I bought range technology, and I love it so far.
Bought one 3 days ago with a K&N air filter for my 11 GMC Sierra. Went from average 16l/100kms to 13l/100kms on the highway. 2 hours of driving cruise control set at 110kms/hr. Feels like it accelerates better too.
Got one for my 2011 GMC SIERRA about month ago. My average MPG went up by .1 MPG and has stayed there so for me it has improved the gas mileage
Just installed the Range Technologies plug in on my 2012 Suburban Z71. The engine runs much better, especially when I come to a stop. When it shifted to V4 it ran really rough. The transmission even shifts much smoother. Best 200 bucks I ever spent
Had mine going for a while since I put my exhaust on, just changed the oil so we'll see about the burning oil issue. 🇺🇸
I've had the range in my 2012 tahoe ppv for about 6 months no problems no lights and I've noticed an improvement in gas mileage because I don't have to stab the throttle to get it out of v4 mode witch cuts your gas mileage back a lot
I've had my Range AFM Disabler device for over 30,000 miles. Still running strong! The V4 mode has caused me so many issues. I have been logging my fuel mileage and it has stayed about the same.
Just ordered one for my brand new trail boss
I've had mine on my 2018 5.3 since Nov '19, it's been great. I'm currently getting 19mpg in city, 21 hwy. Everything stock but AT tires.
I have this combined with a pedal commander set to city+4. Whole different truck than when I drove off the lot.
After having my '14 Silverado for a year I was starting to regret having it because of how much I hated how it drove and how the shifting behaved. I came from a 5spd tacoma and was starting to miss it. I ended up going with a black bear tune and while it was pricey, it completely changed the manners of the truck for the best. It's much more fun to drive now and holds gears so much better. Driving out my road which has lots of turns and hills, it doesn't constantly shift to v4 and back and improved my fuel economy by 2mpg. My friend picked up an 09 with the 5.3 and told him to immediately get the range device to remove the DOD if nothing else and he noticed 2-3 mpg improvement as well. It also should save him from having to get the engine rebuilt due to all of the issues that comes with DOD.
So I’ve been running the range for awhile it’s a very good product but keep in mind that the range is just a band aid for the afm delete it’s not meant to be on it for a very long time spand I recently bought the edge evolution cts2 I strongly advise getting it keeps the truck in v8 mode helps your transmission out a ton with reliability and gives you a lot more power strongly suggest this product stay up out there and hope you have a great day
I was curious about buying one of these. I think I’m definitely going to try one out.
King Shit you just made the buy even easier for me. Went online and bought one tonight. 🙌
D Sant you won't regret it 👍
I have mine in a 2016 4.3L and it works great. Occasionally I have to take it out for what I say is a reset because somethings go a little weird. But take it out start the engine and put it back in.
I use their new model for DFM/AFM (manufactured 01/29/2020) on my '19 5.3 Z71. The truck feels so much better to drive. It never comes out of V8 mode and as an added bonus, the disabler makes the auto Stop/Start no longer work which I love. I hated having to disable the Stop/Start manually each time I got in the truck.
What it called
Theirs a big difference from V4 to V8 when I’m driving my wife’s truck and I hate it now I’m definitely going too look for that range technology now thanks for the info .
Great product for sure on eliminating that trash DOD or AFM if u will.. mines still plugged in along with a catch can, airaid tube intake and borla atak exhaust... driving is so much fun ever since, great product indeed.
Did the airaid intake keep your mpgs the same? does it make your it have good sound response along side with the borla? Iv got the same set up but not the airaid yet and was curious 🤔
Wish I knew about this when I had my 2013. I was going thur 2 quarts of oil every 3k which caused it to need a motor swap at 48k miles on it. I got a 2018 now because I heard they fixed the issue. Apparently not. I'll be buying one soon. And yes v4 to v8 mode sucks, you can definitely feel and hear it.
I just got the range disabler. It was not for oil consumption or jerky ride...it was for fear of lifter failure. Same as you.
Had this on my truck for about 3 months. Took it to shop cus I got a bunch of check engine lights, messed with my throttle response and computer tune.
Really like it tho, maybe I just need to upgrade the software.
I have a AFM Disabler in my 2016 Chevy Silverado LT and it works great, better gas mileage & better throttle response! I’ve never unplugged it, I’ve had it for a month and half my truck has 27,900 miles
Does it drain the battery if leave my car undriven ?
I can feel it too!
Love the range product as well only thing I found is when you go to the dealership they can’t do a emissions test if your state requires that unless it’s unplugged for about 100 miles
Do you meant that once it's been plugged it shouldn't be unplugged until the 100 thousand miles?
Have upr dual valve catch can as well
Just installed this device on a 2016 corvette, although I’ve never heard of a corvette having any AFM engine issues, I just didn’t want to take a chance.
I love mine in the 2011 Silverado z71. I do take her out every once in a while to make the afm mode work so nothing sticks.
How many miles does your rig have??
@@nolanzepeda9343 89k
I am driving a 2003 GMC Sierra and i don’t have any afm problems😉
You just need a storm troopered out smart car to go with your truck. That would be a dynamic duo!
Wish they had them for my new body style 2019 Chevy. Had one in my 14' and it worked well.
They work in 2019/2020, I'm running one in my 2020 Custom TB right now. Drives so much better now.
They just added the DFM (2019-2020) version to their website. Has nothing to do with body style but if your truck came with V8 DFM. If so, Range updated their product to work on DFM.
Just got mines today going to use it in my 2020 Silverado...
You now need to try a Pedal Commander! This is a great upgrade.
Indeed! I have the Sprint AFM disabler and the power commander in my 2020 Silverado and between the two, it really woke the truck up!
Where did you find the pedal commander?
Sprint Booster V3
Whats the benefits of the pedal commander
I deleted it on my 17 5.3 deleted aim with range but about to install a volunteer intake and a diablosport. Trinity ex with disabled custom tune I’m currently getting 18 city 😀
We have a camp that we have to go through a reservation to get too speed limit is 50 and heavily enforced at times i got 32 mpg over 25 miles for me its about extending the life
I'm waiting for them to dial in one for the 2020 6.2L 10 speed, as for now it only works on the 8-speed trans.
The edge evolution cts2 or 3 is a little pricey but it soooo worth it
Hey man what's the cost of the Edge cts2 I tow a 28 ft.trailer and I like you mentioned it helped the transmission! Thanks
People who think the v8 to v4 mode is "seamless" are nuts, I dont know what the engineers and gm in general were thinking with the way these trucks are tuned, it's horrible
Blame it on the EPA.
GM is still putting these engines in the 2023 vehicle's
My average fuel mileage went from 15 to 16.5 after I installed mine 3 months ago. I like mine, no issues with it so far.
How many miles did you have on your truck before you installed it? Thanks
Your video is really good, The issue I have is when you video yourself please stand in one place. I am dizzy from you moving around. Thanks for your response.
Just sold my '08 Yukon, 5.3V8. Never liked the fuel management system. Would have to downshift to 3rd to make it up hills. Or, when in "D," there would be a long pause or shudder before all eight cylinders would kick in.
My mpg has stayed the same. I never could feel the engine switch over to v4 but feel better knowing it's staying in v8.
How’s the range working for you so far?
@831CaliSavage I have had no problems. The truck stays in v8 like it's supposed to. Mpg is still the same. I do mostly city driving. I was on vacation for two weeks out of the country, and the truck started right up, and my battery is 4 years old, so people saying it will kill a battery must have a weak battery. I buy good batteries in my vehicles. No codes ever popped up. Worth every penny. AFM is a guaranteed death to the lifters. Yes, some people will get lucky and put a lot of miles with afm active, but why chance it. It's just a horrible design.
My 2009 gmc sierra 5.3L afm stopped working and noticed it stopped burning oil nd responding better so never fixed it would that be considered a afm delete??
It's not "whatever you wanna call it". A disabler and deleter are two different things.
Heck yeah, man! Glad to see you putting it to work. I had no issues with it for 41k miles!
Installed AFM on my 18 silverado 2 weeks ago, big difference, however, I hate the way this 6 speed operates.
I want to this to my truck but idk about the warranty or anything. I just got it and it’s basically brand new. I just gotta do more research
Does not void factory warranty, you can unplug it anytime with no trace
When you take your truck in and they hook up their scanner..do you need to update the disabler or will it work again just by plugging it back in
I have the Range disabler and I really like it. Its a great product. No loss in gas mileage and absolutely no oil consumption.
Worth it John if you remember I drove the my grandfathers Chevy to Georgia for ns it was a 2013 with the same fuel saving crap truck had only 30k miles and in the way home it lost four cylinders and had some kind of internal tick because of afm he ended up needing a new block because of the damage warranty covered it.
can you describe your exhaust system for me... and list links to the parts?
Anybody know the details on the led lights. My v4 been coming back and noticed the right side 2 leds are on after lights cycle through then another day left side 2 stays on 🤷🏻♂️. On range website, leds are labels 4,3,2,1 from left side to right.
I have 2014 Silverado 1500 6 cylinder you think can I buy one for my truck?
Any update?
Ford vehicles dont shut down cylinders, they just have good tuning to get good fuel mileage compared to dodge an chev/gmc shuting down cylinders
2021 ford says its gonna start building 5.0L v8s with cylinder deactivation system
My 14 z71 doesn’t run bad, at 77,000 miles, but will installing this prevent any of the terrible engine failures that afm can cause?
Would this help on a 2010 Chevy Silverado Hybrid V8??
Has anyone had a problem when towing a boat/mower trailer and causing engine to overheat??
Nobody has got a problem with a check engine lights or something because I’m interested in getting one for real
Did anyone have trouble with the dreaded misfire cylinder 7 on 5.3L Vortec p0307 code??? Help... Advice appreciated!!! Thx
Ford does not use AFM, their Ecoboost (turbo charged engines) program met epa standards. The AFM issue is far overblown compared to the millions on the road.
The new system GM uses is DFM(Dynamic Fuel Management) shuts down to one cylinder.
Chrysler’s MDS is far more problematic due to an inferior lifter design.
I have a afm disabler in my 20 silverado 1500 Trail Boss. 5.3 6 speed. I think the disabler works overall very good. Do you still feel a little shifting when starting off or trying to zip across a intersection after being stopped? My first truck so I am learning how a truck shifts and what not. You've had a lot of trucks, please fill me in on this. Thanks
Catch11 nahh no shifting or stuttering for me on accelerating after being stopped as of yet.. not sure what you’re experiencing man
Ive got the same truck same color too. Someone said to use manual mode and leave it on 8th gear pretty much. On the flipside tho ive also heard thats its not good to leave the truck on 8th gear the whole time while drivin any thoughts on this? Love the vids btw!
Thanks! Seems like if you do it that way, leave it in 8th it’s not really in 8th gear all the time. It’ll still up shift and downshift like normal just won’t go into V4 mode. For example if you put it in 4th gear it’ll shift normal 1-4th and go no higher. Hope that makes sense!!
I loose 4 mpg 2015 silverado 5.3
Put transmission in L5,
Where is the best to place to buy this device?
Is it true that adding the Range will compromise the torque converter and transmission?
That I do not know.
Other Than protecting the lifters how does this add more power? If you’re in v4 and give it gas it goes into v8 automatically so what’s the difference?
It’s doesn’t add any power at all.. just keeps her in all 8 cylinders at all times. Feels a lot better, and more like a truck. Where the power is right at the crack of your foot, vs. the cpu having to think what mode it should be in and then reacting accordingly.
I was thinking about getting one of those, if you want come by my channel listen to my exhaust clips on my Silverado I'd like to know what people think get some feed back on what I should do next, I was thinking true duals 2 cats no mufflers
I have a 2018 silverado 1500 5.3l 15k miles I just put a range in mine and the truck gives a big jerk when I'm braking when I get to around 15-10mph. I notice the rpms rev up when it jerks but my tow mode is off any ideas what it could be?
Damn! Sounds dumb, but did you unplug it and plug it back in to see if it resets it? Otherwise I’d reach out to Range and see if they can send you another or send an update for yours!
What kind of cold air intake do you have, i know its a K&N brand but is it a 77 series or 63 series or whatever lol
Lmk!
Are those trucks the e assist model ?
i just installed it on my 2018 1500 Silverado, does exactly as described. Im curious if you have used the 'tow haul' mode with it installed ?
Honestly not sure.. I sold that truck close to 2 years ago now. I’ve towed often with that truck, but can’t remember if that was ever plugged in during.
Mine works great in my 2018. Never unplug it and it never drains the battery when left plugged in.
Yep! I’ve had my disabler plugged in for a week at a time without starting and I haven’t had any battery issues.
I live in texas and i need emission test every year in my sierra, my question is if is there any problem by plugging an unplugging the chip for the emissions test?
Negative. Unplug her and the trucks back to normal!
Where can I find the update video
from your 200 mile trip?
Never got around to filming an update.. just from experience though I was very impressed with the device. Did the truck pretty well, and made it feel like a real truck again! Didn’t have any issues with the device my entire 12-14k miles of ownership.
@@JohnWargo93 Good to hear! Thanks for the info
So I bought a 2018 Tahoe. The first two months it was perfect. Then it had a communication error and it stalled. The dealership ran a program update. But every since I got it back I’m constantly feeling like a hesitation when accelerating. When I press the gas nothing happens. I have to wait a few seconds then it will speed up. I have to slam on the gas the truck will lurch forward and then go. Could this be related to afm?
Sounds like it... it’s definitely a laggy feeling it sucks. Like the power isn’t there when you need it.
@@JohnWargo93 yeah definitely. Did you notice it right away when you first got the truck? I think it’s strange that for me it didn’t become a problem until a few months of having the truck and then after I got it back from the dealership.
@@francescad5525 nahh wasn’t until I got familiar with the truck I really starting to realize what was going on and why it drove like it did. That is strange on your end tho
Will it work on the 2020 Silverado With the dynamic fuel management?
From what they say it does, I went ahead and ordered one for my 2020 silverado,
The new system is DFM....and it drops down to 1 cylinder! I see the same thing happening with the new system only you'll be stuck in 1 vs 4 😂
It can drop down to 2 cylinders not 1
@@drewsmith3169 nope, research it
Just installed mine, 2017 Silverado, while driving looking at the dash, it still shows v4, but doesn't feel like it goes into v4 , have you noticed this?
No sir, mine never showed in v4 mode when I had the module plugged in
You never did an update?
Nahhh never did. Haven’t had any issues with it though. Use it especially when towing!
Or displacement on demand lol or pos 😫
Will this work for the 08 Chevy impala ss
southcac 32 I’m not 100% sure on GMs cars or not.. would have to go on Range’s website and check the fit 🤟🏼
Does it draw power if the truck is not running
No sir. It shuts off itself after I believe 10 mins or so. At least I’ve never run into any issues with it drawing any power.
Does it run off the battery?? Do you have to take it out whenever you’re done using your truck for the day?
runs off the circuit when the truck is on and running.. do NOT have to unplug daily, once the truck is off, the power to the OBDII port is also off.
JOHN WARGO okay that’s what I figured. Thank you!! Just ordered one. I love the channel
Is your tire pressure light always on with the new wheels or just a coincidence it was on for this video?
Always on 🤘🏼 TPMS system set and synced with the stock wheels.
@@JohnWargo93 that's annoying dude lol
Hey bud will this chip void any warranty on the truck
Nahhh once you unplug it from the truck there’s no trace from my understanding
@@JohnWargo93 nice ..cool ... thanks
Does having this on the truck void any type of warranty?
Don’t believe so, once you unplug it it’s supposed to be untraceable
@@JohnWargo93 ok great! Please update, I watched all your videos after I got my truck! I'm going to look into getting one myself!
Mario Alvarez appreciate it man!!
It shouldn’t one of my lifters failed and I already had it plugged in went to the dealer and they fixed it no problem.
You just unplug it when you go to the dealer. After you unplug it and run an OBD scan, the scan finds nothing. Can't even tell the disabler was installed.
Does this work on 2020 LT trailboss 5.3 with 10 speed tranny?
Yessir, they make em for the newer trucks too!
I’m trying to find that out as well. I am not sure this works seamlessly for DFM on the 5.3 10-Speed. Range released Pulsar LT that they say works and is crazy expensive.
Do these work well with the 4.3l v6 also?
I’ll be honest I’m not too sure… sold this rig about 2 years ago so I’ve been out of the loop on the latest stuff on the truck… check their website, they may!
Camera too shaky,makes me dizzy.
My guy you sound like Luke Bryan! Lol
