Just an FYI, software deleting the AFM/DFM does NOT solve the lifter issues. They still can and do fail with AFM/DFM disabled by software. I am one of many people that have experienced lifter failure with it software disabled. The ONLY way to get rid of it is a full delete kit with a new cam, lifters, and a vlom block off plate in addition to software. ,

[@8020Media]

They still can fail because you of course still have all of the AFM-equipped hardware in the car, like the special AFM lifters that are inherently problematic. But disabling it via software does still significantly reduce the likelihood of it happening, just doesn't completely prevent problems. But yes, only way to get complete protection is to do a full delete but I would recommend doing that only if you actually have a failed lifter first, otherwise the cost is tougher to justify.

If there's any lawyers out there watching videos relating to the poor design of the GMC engines and transmission there needs to be a class action law suit against GMC for knowingly setting up consumers to fail. I had to replace both my engine and transmission after 112,000 miles which is just over the warranty mileage and a few months after my extended warranty expired. The DOD/DFM/AFM and the transmission temperature sensor have been known failure issues since their inception. I've been a loyal American made car owner for over 47 years and will never own another one. Toyota Tundra here I come. All these ridiculous environmental constraints and regulations are just added costs to the consumer with no documented benefit to the environment. Total crap!

[@8020Media]

J - So sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience. They certainly don't make them like they used to!

[@slumy8195]

dont get a new tundra they are a POS

[@gavolunteer2022]

I feel your pain. My '16 Sierra is in the shop as we speak getting the transmission replaced. 88,900 miles

[@8020Media]

G - So sorry to hear.. Hopefully it was covered under warranty.

[@user-ku6fy4je5h]

I have 2016 Chevy Tahoe and as soon as I got it I had to replace the transmission and after 3 months it shakes at 45 miles so I don’t know what to expect from the dealer

[@jeffreywonser3241]

Getting a new engine because of DFM in my 2022 GMC Yukon. I wish I'd known about this sooner! Any guesses on how long my car will be in the dealership while we're waiting for the new engine?

[@8020Media]

Dang that sucks, sorry to hear! I have no clue what dealership service times look like for this kinda thing right now but I'd have a hard time thinking it'd be less than 2-3 months realistically.

[@patricktx3357]

Do you know when you will have one compatible with 2024 GMC 5.3? I guess people are calling this refresh model.

[@8020Media]

We're hoping sometime this year but it's hard to put a specific timeline down now. Keep checking our channel and website and we'll keep everyone in the loop.

[@danchivaran4089]

I am from Romania, Europe. I intend to buy a GMC, Yukon XL, AT4, 6.2 gas, 2024. I want, from the beginning, to deactivate AFM/DFM. Which of the 3 presented methods do you recommend? I want the engine to become more durable, reliable and economical. Under what conditions can I make the conversion for Ethanol or LPG?

[@8020Media]

D - Unfortunately, there aren't and disablers on the market that can disable 2024 models. However, we are looking into getting our product to solve this issue for 2024 models.

[@deezTX]

I see your link doesn't support 2024 (refresh) Silverados, do yall have one that supports 2024 ?

[@8020Media]

D - Unfortunately, there aren't any solutions for 23-24 model years quite yet. We are working on it and will have updates near the end of the year.

[@brianstickley2197]

Mine is a 2015 5.3. I just have been putting it in manual shift mode in 5th not 6th and it never goes into V4 mode. Shifts normally while driving too.

[@8020Media]

B - This is a workaround, but you lose the benefit of 6th gear. With our device, you don't even need to worry about going into manual mode. However, thanks for sharing!

[@pharaohsanakht6839]

Any word on boost disabler supporting the 2024 Silverado?

[@8020Media]

P - This is something we're working on. We'll have updates on our website.

[@EldorWishenwell]

Will this work for my 2022 Silverado 1500 5.3 10 speed? I saw some don’t work with 10 speed

[@8020Media]

E - Unfortunately, our Boost Disabler doesn't work on 2019+ Silverado's with the 10-speed. The DFM system works differently with the PCM programming on the 10spds. We’re working on something but for the time being there aren’t any solutions on the market outside of flashing it out.

[@TheNBATalkMan]

@@8020Mediawhat does flashing it out involve?

[@8020Media]

T - A tuner.

[@Logan-de3xx]

When are you coming out with software for 2024 GMC Yukon vehicles?

[@8020Media]

L - That's a great question. We are looking into this since there aren't any on the market currently. We'll keep you updated!

[@Logan-de3xx]

@@8020MediaWould really appreciate this. I’m tired or driving around in L9 constantly and also turning off the auto start stop constantly.

[@8020Media]

L - Yep, we've heard many 23 & 24 owners waiting. It is something we are certainly looking into.

[@Logan-de3xx]

@@8020MediaHey any update on this for 2024 Models of the Yukon? Thank you!

[@8020Media]

L - We won't have an update in the near future. It's something we're working on, but it will take a little bit. We'll have updates on our website.

[@stevesalisbury6865]

Does the disabler need to stay connected to the port at all times

[@8020Media]

S - Yes, it needs to be plugged into the OBD2 port to be activated.

I got a 2023 Denali 5.3 trying to delete dfm any suggestions?

Do these work on C8 corvettes?

[@8020Media]

M - Unfortunately, no. However, we are working on solutions for newer models and will have updates on our website.

[@SuperCyril2]

I bought a 2022 Sierra. When I heard about all the lifter issues with the 5.3 I traded it in on a F-150 with the 3.5 liter ecoboost engine engine. No more Gm vehicles for me.

[@shadyrep1275]

Even worse
