- Has the Active or Dynamic Fuel Management system in your V6 or V8-powered GM car been slowing you down? Are you tired of the annoying shuddering of your engine and the drone it produces from constantly activating and deactivating cylinders? Meet Range Technology's answer: the AFM/DFM Disabler. Our module is plug-and-play, and reverts your vehicle back to stock when removed. Because no tuning is involved with your vehicle's computer, this product will not void the factory warranty. Not only does the AFM/DFM Disabler keep your vehicle running smoothly, it will have you running on all cylinders, all the time.
To learn more, check out our website at www.rangetechn....
bought this for my 2014 Silverado 5.3 LT. No more hesitation, and its a good piece of mind to know that it will reduce the chance of lifter issues in the future. AFM seems like a good idea but its a flawed system. If you own a vehicle that can accept the module I would recommend anyone to get this. Honestly see no difference in the mpg's without the AFM. KEEP YOUR V-8 A V-8!!! A+
Does the range needs to be updated every time in a while?
Does this work with remote start? I’ve seen issues where check engine lights are being thrown doing a remote start
There ya go, we need MORE companies to design plug and play setups that disables the factory NONSENSE ! Go Brandon !
Brandon Manitoba is the place to be!
I just installed this on my 2017 z71 Silverado and now it runs like a dream, 100% recommend this!! well worth the money
Just got one for my 2014 Silverado 5.3. Works awesome. My truck has 162k miles and i regret not buying this sooner. What a fucking difference. No more hesitation or shitty V4 mode exhaust note.
Just added one to our 2020 Suburban. Saw an immediate difference in acceleration and power. My wife said it runs better than before. 100% satisfied!
Thank you. I have a 2018. My truck’s engine light started flashing and my traction warning came on. Had towed to dealer two days later. Was checking my vehicle status while at dealer using OnStar diagnostic and it started showing all good. Went to pick up my Suburban because dealer doesn’t answer calls, for two days all day no answer. Left with my Suburban driving fine. Sitting, it may have let the lifters down and tech cleared it. Recommended replace cam shaft. I’m an easy learner. GM should be held accountable for this intentional design flaw. Drove week later over an interstate with a hill and on decline felt the change. Made it maybe 3 miles from the point of declining off the hill (known as spaghetti junction in Atl) and exact same location in the peach pass lane, engine flashing, traction warning on. I was able to get OnStar diagnostic both events. I started thinking heavily how could this happen in the exact same location while driving. The common thing was the hill, the change in the damn AFM and I have learned so much about it. Dealer gave me a quote over $9,500 to replace cam shaft and lifters with a frickin’ 24 month warranty. General Motors should be held accountable because this is designed to fail because it’s just another unscrupulous method of guaranteeing the money and a cycle of the same repair/replacement needed. Got an oil change on October 29, 2022 at same dealer, and on December 8, 2022 I had less than a quart of oil in my Suburban. It had began to knock when I crank it. My husband and I exited Hwy and checked oil on the 2nd system failure while we were on Hwy because of the knock. I was infuriated to see that dipstick nearly dry. Go to dealer and they show me all these passes / failed codes that were NEVER shown to me before but go on to say they’re not shown to me because the codes weren’t “current.” Basically I feel like dealership knew what was happening and waiting it out because it was inevitable and money on the books pending the ole’ AFM designed failure. I’ll be included in any class-action lawsuit on this. If GM wants to offer AFM, it should be designed to turn On and Off at the discretion of the driver. #HorribleGMC
when will we see this for the '21 6.2 10 speeds? lots of people dont want the hassle (or cost) of the Pulsar LT option
This works soooo well. The suv drives soo nice no more shuddering that feels like the transmission is about to go out, no more drone noise I love itttt.
Just got my tahoe a few months ago it feels like it actually is about to go break😂😂 im a little late im currently waiting for it to arrive🤙🏻
@@abrahamgonzalez8324 mannn you’re gonna love itt, You will notice the difference right away
@@nafiztube yeah im pretty anxious
What do you mean by droning noise??
What does it exactly do?
Is it continuously writing a bit into a status registry?
my engine blew on my 2011 escalade, starting with a lifter issue, i think it was because of AFM, i just bought a 2018 escalade with 40k miles on it, i think I'm going to get the disabler
I got this for my 2010 Camaro. Big difference! No more shuddering, better throttle response and no more annoying AFM exhaust drone.. Plus I feel much better not having to worry about potential AFM lifter issues in the future. As far as gas millage I've had no negative impact.
i’m also thinking about getting it for my camaro however i have a question. does it need to stay connected at all times in order for it to work? and also once unplugged does it active the AFM again?
Good afternoon. I'm sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia. I have a question. do I need to connect it before starting the engine? Should I turn off this device after stopping?
Seems like this is what I need to get cheapest way to fix it without dropping 800 on the kit
I have one installed on a 2015 Silverado for going on 2yrs.... Can't Beat It.
Same with a 2015 silverado but I had to replace my original battery. Battery drain issue needs to be solved with a firmware update of some sort. I will see drain issue with a brand new battery while I'm on vacation and truck just sitting.
@@ddkim619 I had to change the Battery in mine in Sept of 19, but I don't blame the "Range", it was already 4yrs old. If I'm not going to use the truck for more than 3-4 days, I just unplug it.
I just installed in a 2023 Camaro LT1 (6.2) with A10 and it works perfectly.
Just installed this on my 2011 Yukon Denali. And I can feel the difference. No more hesitation instant power from my 6.2
Paid shill. 😂
I have 2016 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 I bought this product and it definitely turns v8 but I have a lag on the pedal when I step on it slow can someone tell me was going on
Why can't you answer the phone? Been trying for three days to get someone, anyone on the phone to make sure I order the correct part for my truck. 15 minutes, to minutes, 20 minutes different times of day, days in a row. Having gotten one two years ago for one truck, I needed another. But, no way will anyone answer the phone. Too much success? Oh, and the music is distorted making hold even more maddening. WTF?
My cylinder 3 valve spring lifter just failed causing the push rod to get bent on my 2014 Sierra with 54,000 miles. Luckily it didn't damage the piston but since the engine is apart I'm having all new lifters and guides installed.. very expensive at $5,000. Going to order this guy in hopes to prevent this from happening again.
if your engine is apart you should have just done a DOD delete and done away with the AFM lifters and afm system
What’s the diff between the red, green and blue versions?
Sorry for just not going to the website to do further research haha but maybe you could save me time and just give a quicker breakdown of them. I’m definitely looking into getting one, will it suit my 2021 GMC Sierra elevation 1500? Or out of the three options, which is best recommended ?
Thanks in advance!
It’s just colored lights. Device inside is the same thinking to match dashboard is all they are for

Yup this will be going on my 2013 Suburban!
I installed one of these on my 2017 Silverado 5.3. Now my Borla exhaust no longer flutters like a butterfly, but always stings like a bee! As for the idiots that say, "It drains my battery": they're idiots--it doesn't!
Great product!

so how does it work i put mine in today and it killed my cruse controll //im pissed
Got mine today 👍🏾
If you own a GM 5.3 or 6.2 Buy this!!!! My 18 5.3l nothing but wired issues with the trans. Dealer trip after dealer trip. Got pissed off figured for 200 bucks maybe? Or trade this in... Momma I could tell in 5 mins. I was waiting for the dreaded odd ball shit to 3rd nope, then I was waiting for the intermittent clunk noise on down shift nope. Or the odd harmonic / shutter crap. Drove 1 hour in utter amazement it fixed the damn problem. Shifting normal all power its a v8 and stays a v8. And it woke up the motor. Unplugged it and put it my 14 with 6.2l to try with over 100k on it. Holy batman! It woke the motor up big time and ironically the transmission shifts better. Back to the 5.3l motor honestly I'm getting better fuel milage with this thing and the stupid miss that chevy dealer said is normal is gone. Thank you for provided a problem to all chevy owners and shame on gm for this disaster of an engine management system aka afm. I really like the fact it a simple as plug it it wait a few second for it to do it magic upon first plug in. then just start the truck and drive. Brilliant! And it won't void my warranty 😁 got to get a second one for the other truck. I'm just amazed and my wife drove it with it Un plugged and then plugged in and she it oblivious to car stuff and she even said the truck runs way soother shifts crisper and is just me or is it faster now when you push the gas pedal? Cause it moves..... I laughed she said I want one too
We're glad you love it! Improved throttle response is definitely a positive side effect reported by our customers.
Sounds like a great Device, but i have heard that by installing this on your OBDll Port that if your car has any check engine light for any other issues it might have that you won't be able to see them until you unplug the range device. Is that true?
Just like any product that is plugged into your OBD port, you would need to remove it to plug in a scanner to read codes. When you're done, you can simply re-install the Range. Our products do not cause any check engine lights or errors.

Do you expect the IM readiness monitors to be cleared when using this? It's doing that on a 2015 Corvette, I was puzzled when taking it in for inspection the past few years and the monitor status would be incomplete. I only just confirmed it this year after I drove it without using it and getting all the readiness monitors to complete, and subsequently plugged the Range back in. Next time I checked it, the monitors again showed incomplete status.
Not a big deal but I do have to make sure I unplug it for a while prior to an inspection, or it'll fail due to the incomplete monitors.
I've never seen this mentioned anywhere else, so perhaps it's just the one I have that's got a bug in it or something, if it's not supposed to be doing this.
I think he’s asking will the check engine light not be displayed on the dash if something happens.
I've been onto the Range website and they dont seem to make it for the 2023 Silverado 1500. Is this true does anyone know? When I put my details in 2023 Chevorolet into there site it only comes up with Silverado 2500 and 3500 for that year.
Do you have them for a 2023 5.3 with 10 speed and how much.
2022.5+ support releases next week!
Will this work on my 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5.3 and Dynamic Fuel Management? I am very interested in purchasing this, however I want to know about DFM, not AFM. Thanks.
Hey Dennis, this video launched before our latest firmware update to include DFM. We have yet to test the 2021 models to confirm, however we know that 2020 5.3 trucks are compatible.

Great product but from a Canadian perspective, UPS is charging 100 dollars just to send it here and Range has no other shipping option !!!! :(
Just installed this in my 18 Sierra. What a difference instantly. I was never happy with the way it drove with the afm, even thot about trading it in for a different vehicle but after plugging it in and driving it for a few minutes I immediately noticed the huge difference. Thanks Range for makeing this product for us V8 guys.
Does the Range drain your battery after sitting a few days?
antonio smith. It shuts off when the key is off. Iv never had any issues with it at all and i gota say its a night and day difference and highly recommend it to anyone with a afm issue.
@@mrc5485 Thank man! I'm definitely getting one for my 2017 Silverado. I hate when it deactivate cylinders. Some mornings when I crank up and pull off, it jerks a little like it's confused as to what to do. 4 or 8
antonio smith This corrected 99%of my issues with shifting and the drone noise from the exhaust and when i would pedal to the metal it used to hesitate before going. Its a night and day difference especially when im towing heavy loads. Trust me bro its legit. I even called range and told them how happy i was. U wont regret it. I ordered mine straight from range not amazon and recommend that route. 👍
@@mrc5485 Thanks bro!!!!!!!
So how would this Work if I need to Run my OB2 scanner, Do I just unplug the Range and then Scan?
That's correct. Range will only work when it is plugged in, or you can use an OBD splitter.

I have a 2011 ss camaro with the auto trans this deactivates dod and afm correct?
DOD is another name for AFM, so yes.
That $189 price tag is sweet! $198, not so much.
Diablew tune well worth the money
Does this device work with custom ECU firmware? I have tuned ECU to disable cat O2 sensors. Could you please advise...
Looking at buying 2024 sierra but this whole deactivation thing got me a little reluctant. This appears to be the answer.
It does works in a 2024 silverado Z71 5.3l?
Not yet. But we have 2022.5-2024 support releasing really soon!
@@rangetechnology8178 please let us know when you release it.
Will this work on the 2023 silverado 1500 trail boss
Does this also remove the rev limiter?
no it does not
Question would appreciate it if someone can answer! My Camaro ss afm lifters are bad I hear a weird noise once ina while n I was told if I keep driving with them like tht my engine will be gone. Will this fix my problem before it ends up messing up my whole engine?
BET the factory computer RECORDS when this is plugged in and the factory setup is bypassed, THUS, if any warranty issues arise such info could be pulled up by dealer for their reason to NOT warranty a issue, maybe RANGE can verify or deny
I juat got one for my 2020 denali and i feel sometimesittle bump when im going stop at ligth. I can feel sometimes the bump with out the range. So this is normal or what ??
I've determined that the Range device clears out the IM readiness monitors when I have it plugged in to a 2015 Stingray; is this something anyone else has noticed?
It doesn't cause any failures of the monitors, only causes them to show an incomplete status, as if they were reset.
It's only apparent on a scan tool or when taking it in for an inspection, and it does the job of keeping it out of V4 mode otherwise. I just have to remember to unplug it and run it through enough drive cycles to get the IM readiness back up before taking it in for inspection.
The one I have is from 6 years back, so I don't know if the design has been changed since then.
I justed purchased one for my 21 Camaro LT1 and was wondering if I can leave it installed or should I remove it if I don't drive it for a few days?
Will this prevent a lifter from collapsing? Or just lesson the chance?
We cannot guarantee that it will prevent a collapsed lifter, but it will prevent any further wear on those components as they no longer activate and deactivate.
I bought it, what a difference!!
Does the AFM/DFM disabler module also prevent autostart/stop? Is it compatible with the Silverado 2020 6.2L 10-speed?
Yes, it also prevents auto stop/start. At the moment, it is not compatible with 6.2 10-speed applications.
@@rangetechnology8178 Thanks. Do you know when a product will be available that will be compatible with the 6.2L 10-speed?
@@rangetechnology8178 Not 100% true it did not turn my Auto stop off on the Tahoe Hybrid 2008... it still goes into auto stop for me 0-30mph auto stop (hybrid model)
@@punker4Real why somebody driving a “hybrid” vehicle wanting a range blows my mind
I've had mine for a couple of years now. What is the latest version out? I'm not sure if I need to get it updated or not. Thanks.
Please make one for my 2023 silverado 1500
If this is used in California will it cause a check engine light???
Great product , but will this void vehicle warranty?
I cant seem to find 1 i need one for 2016 gmc 5.3 sierra denali
What is the difference between the colors?
What are the different color scanners for what is the difference in the colors
Does this leave a footprint on the ECM?
Is the light on the module supposed to stay on while I drive?
What is the latest version? 8.6?
Auto stop is still working on my rig how to make it turn off , "auto stop"?
2008 tahoe Hybrid model
it only turned off the AFM but Auto stop is still engaging...
It's possible with it being a hybrid model that our AFM/DFM Disabler cannot successfully disable the start/stop function. When you have some time, please give us a call at 1-866-404-6141 or email at support@rangetechnology.com and our team will be happy to assist you.
Will this lroduct work for my 2015 chevy silverado with a 6.2 l86 ? Also I just did the amf delete kit and had the truck tuned but it still shutters and the lifters are still tapling lile crazy. If it is compatible with my 6.2 would you recommend me getting it still
Yes, our AFM/DFM Disabler is compatible with your truck.
I just got one for my Escalade and it doesn’t work. Just opened it and no light will stay on or anything. Still going in and out of 4 cylinder mode all the time. I bet y’all won’t replace it will ya 🤦♂️
They will send you another one but it will be a older used model. I just went though it and they sent me one a couple of years old. No thanks I’ll keep my newer one.
I've read it will drain the battery if the vehicle sits for a few days. Still the case or has this been corrected? Or...is it just not true? Very interested in purchasing one.
Hey C Maz, that was an issue with an older release. It has been correct in a newer update. With that being said, if the vehicle is going to sit for over a week, it is not a bad idea to unplug it, to keep from any draw on the battery. Hope that helps answer your question!
@@rangetechnology8178 , It did & thanks for replying. I'll be ordering one for my 2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ in the next few days. Looking forward to it!
Can this device be use with a throttle control also? Or will it interfere with each other ?
I just ordered Vitesse throttle control for the pedal lag.. And I was thinking about ordering Range afm disabler to keep it in V8 mode at all times..
@@mikal9624 Our module only works when plugged into the OBD port, so if you have anything else plugged in it will not work.
I just ordered mine yesterday and I can't wait to get it delivered!
how is it ?
in my2007 suburban cylinder 6 misfires and lifter may already be stuck , would this fix it since it will force it to fire continuously ?
If you're experiencing misfires, you should not be driving the vehicle. This module does not correct any existing issues with lifters; it simply disables AFM and prevents them from disengaging.
Why are you yelling at me!
Does this device mess with automatic running boards
If your running boards are plugged into your OBD port, you'll need a splitter as our Disabler needs to be plugged in to be functional.
Can the dealer tell if Ive had this installed Incase I have to have warranty work done?
They cannot, as long as you remove it prior to taking your vehicle to a dealership.
Looking for this. Is 2011 Yukon denali hybrid supported? Will it affect the hybrid system?
Yes, your Yukon is supported. Our module does not make any changes to your onboard computer, thus it will not affect your hybrid system.
@@rangetechnology8178 thank you RT. Looking forward to having this unit.
Would I need to install an oil catch can as well with this AFM delete or is that up to the buyer?
Up to you. The 2 are irrelevant of each other.
Will this cause an engine light or any other error codes to come up while its plugged in?
No, our modules do not cause any error codes or lights when installed.
Does this work on 2021 Camaro ss ?
Most likely, though we have not specifically tested the 2021 model year. You may try it out and return within 30 days for your money back if it does not work.
I got 1 for my 2018 gmc Yukon xl so far so good we’ll see how it does
how is it
16k miles on it so far no issues truck been hauling my 23ft boat every weekend does good on v8 full time
One more question for Range Technology guys..
If I used a OBD2 Splitter, will i be able to use both AutoStop disabler and the AFM Disabler simultaneously ? Using it on my SUV
2011 Yukon Denali Hybrid 6.0.
No need. The AFM/DFM Disabler will also disable auto start/stop.
@@rangetechnology8178 WOW! 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm from Venezuela AND have a Silverado 3500 2011 engine 6.0 AND six Speed transmisión , i want know if this truck have afm tegnology AND if That disable work un mu truck, i nerd help 🥺🥺
Diesel powered engines do not have AFM or DFM.
@@rangetechnology8178 it's 6.0 gasoline,
@@JoseERamosVE Sorry about that. Gasoline powered HD 2500/3500 trucks do not have AFM/DFM either.
You can also drive your truck with the 6-speed tranny in 5th gear manual mode and you truck will stay in 8 cylinders. The downside is you will have to do this every time you come out of park or reverse.
Looking forward to it

BE CAREFUL WITH THIS AFM DISABLER CRAP. It messed up my smog check today. 2 stations keep getting REJECTED RESULT due to the computer not be able to read.. BE CAREFUL OF THIS CRAP
Please see this excerpt from our Support page regarding emissions testing:
As with any device that plugs into the OBD2 port, you should remove the device and drive several miles before taking it into the center for testing. This will force the vehicle to reset all the "OBD2 READINESS MONITORS" and to be prepared for the emissions testing (whether it be on the rollers or just an OBD2 "sniff" test).
The Range module doesn't affect emissions but because we take control of the AFM/DFM system, the vehicle may have an OBD2 Readiness monitor show "Not Ready" because it wasn't allowed to engage cylinder deactivation.

Okay, this is the key information that is why my monitors were always incomplete when I took it in for inspection. It isn't apparent that this happens as there won't be any indication that the monitors were cleared; it has to be checked with a scan tool to know.
Definitely need to remember to run enough drive cycles without it plugged in to enable the monitors to run and pass before taking it in fire inspection.
Get a scan tool that you can verify they've all run before taking it in, because if two or more monitors are incomplete, they won't allow it to pass inspection. It takes not only miles, but drive cycles with cold starts to full operating temperature and fuel levels for the monitors to run.
Out of curiosity, was that information mentioned in the support section present back in 2015 or was that added some time later when people encountered it?
When I originally got it back then, I may have missed that point and haven't really looked at the support page since it worked for what it was intended for.
Hello! Are you guys having issues with orders being delay at the time? (Due to the virus) I really want to put an order in.
