Just tried it. Left it plugged in while I was out driving tractor-trailer for 5 days. Came back in today (8-19-2022) turned the key, VROOM! No issues! No dead battery!

Sorry for the double post but I just saw this! Range said when the vehicle is off, the drain is around 3mA. A “normal” drain on a parked vehicle is 50-80mA. So this thing is super negligible. The other normal components in your vehicle account for 95% of the drain. This thing couldn’t drain a AA battery, much less a truck battery. There’s zero reason to ever unplug it.

I had mine install a year ago in 2013 5.3L and haven't had any issue about drain the battery except the stereo malfunction cause the check engine light reduced power with traction stabilizer control after replace to after market touch screen stereo everything went back to normal, anyway the AFM with pedal commander combine does work great though

Will turning off AFM actually prevent the failure? I turned mine off years ago with a tuner. Starting to hears some intermittent tapping every now and then. Wondering if its finally happening..

Good info. I’ve been debating getting one of these. 2019 Silverado. I see you’re from Ct. as I am also and my question is what about emissions? They use the port for that. What do you do?
@HilltownCT7 ай бұрын
Thanks. You have to drive without it plugged in for a few days so that the systems are ready for testing. Otherwise, the tester would turn you away and tell you to come back.

I have left the chip in there after buying it guys! Over 5 months I believe and today I was driving and something came up on the dashboard about saving battery the Ac cut out then I turned it back on and behold the truck said something about stabilitytrack it drove like shit the wheels weren’t spinning right and I freaked out and began to pull over after turning the truck off and on and keeping the ac off I began to drive I’ve seen the batter drop to 9 on the gauge so I’m thinking it’s either a bad alternator but I’m sure it has already caused damage to my battery 😞 I will fight auto zone and say I have warranty 👏🏼 left the chip out tonight 😿

Yeh I had that same thing happen on my caprice. The alternator is going out and caused the power saver mode to activate then the stabilatrac stuff will go away once new alternator and new battery goes in

I once owned a 2001 Chevrolet 1500 with a 4.8. Bone stock and the battery would go dead after about two weeks. Owned it for years and never had known until I was away for two weeks overseas.

I'm looking to get one for my silverado as well. I don't understand why there is a draw to begin with if the truck is off. Was this not configured correctly? I'm wondering what circuit that ran this to in order to be powered all the time and why. It should go off with the battery if you're able to reconnect it and drive off any time you'd like.

You have no idea how many of the computers that are in these trucks still draw a little current even when shut of. I found that out from a mechanic
@GRJCLyon2 жыл бұрын
@@scottflanders1507 I always knew about the draw, I learned that years ago when I was an auto mechanic. But, this unit doesn’t need to keep memory like the vehicle does. It’s basically an in line switch. However, since way back when I made the comment I bought one and absolutely love it. No more switching from V4 to V8 and no more banging in to gears. I’ve left the truck off for a week and no dead battery at all. At first I didn’t like the blue LED but I got used to it and it’s fine now. Once on a while it will blink once or twice but I’m not sure why. It hasn’t changed anything. Still works great. I’d recommend them to everyone.

From 12.6v to 12.5v in a week? How do you know it wouldn't have drained down that much WITHOUT the Range plugged in? Lead acid batteries self discharge at typically 1% per day with no load on them. The test needs a control.
