The transmissions are a weak point as well on GM trucks so doing an actual internal delete of AFM as soon as you buy it voids the warranty and then you could be on the hook for major repairs that could’ve been covered under warranty unless your just talking about the delete that plugs into the OBD port which I would definitely recommend

did you hear what the mech said? "for like 1 mpg fuel savings" I ran the numbers on the ford 5.4L. For the avg user with their bogus VVT system you would save about $4500 over 4 yrs. BUT at the end of the 4 yrs you need to replace the phasers and timing chain etc and the cost is...wait for it....$4500. So your net savings is Z E R O. "but what about the environment"? No, you save nothing. Why? because any emissions you save by reduced fuel consumption is negated by the production of the phasers, guides, timing chain, gears etc. Because it produces CO2 to cast and machine all those parts. That's why a 20 yr old Pickup is way more "green" than a new tesla. The CO2 produced by manufacturing the pickup has LONG been paid off and now every year you drive it is a negative.

GM would only cover a half of the cost for the rebuilt engine after my heads developed two major cracks. I sold the POS and bought a Tundra in 2005. When I sold Tundra in 2016 it had 443,000 miles and still it ran with no issues. GM was always shit and will continue to be shit. Period.

The issue with the 6-speed is mostly due to the transmission cooler thermostat that forces the transmission to operate at temps between 190 and 220F. This was done for EPA fuel economy as the transmission is slightly more fuel efficient when the fluid is hotter. The problem is that the friction material used on the torque converter clutch degrades much more rapidly at these very high temperatures, a problem made worse by the slipping that they program the TCC to allow. Anyone worried about the longevity of their 2014+ 6-speed should remove or disable the thermostat on the trans fluid line so that the transmission will operate at 140F instead of burning itself up. The vast majority of AFM failures are due to the fact that the average vehicle owner waits way too long to change their oil. You can buy the fanciest high-priced synthetic oil you want, none of them can magically remove combustion byproducts (including fine carbon soot commonly associated with direct injection engines) and unburned fuel from the crankcase. Oil filters are not designed to capture these contaminants either. The only way to keep these contaminants out is to change the engine oil more often. If you don't, these contaminants form sludge in the oil. These sludge formations can clog the tiny oil passages and screens in the AFM system, causing a lifter to malfunctions and get damaged as the system turns on and off. The engines with a bad AFM lifter are most commonly owned by people that make it a game to see just how long they can stretch out their oil changes, or people that short trip constantly, often in cold weather, which is the worst case scenario for oil sludge. Even fancy full synthetic engine oils will sludge up if you're only driving 5 minutes and shutting it back down in the middle of the winter. Guys that have had more than one AFM lifter fail are the unlucky ones that have an ignorant mechanic that doesn't read the service manual and didn't clean all the filters in the AFM system, so they replace the bad lifter, slap it back together, and another lifter eventually fails because sludge in the oil passages feeding the AFM system caused the system to malfunction yet again, or the VLOM had loosened and the mechanic didn't bother to make sure it was torqued down to spec, leading to loss of oil pressure.

My 2020 trailboss had lifter failed at 8k miles. I changed the oil at 2k miles, then at 6k. It had 2 oil changes at 8k miles. In my small town I had to wait a month to get it fixed because there were so many other trucks there getting the same repair. I don’t want to hear it’s a “maintenance” problem. It’s a GM problem. People do the same maintenance on Toyotas and fords, and they’re not failing at the rate of GMs. I traded it in for a ford as soon as it came out of the shop. GM went from the best engines in the early 2000s to the worst now. Ford went from the worst in the early 2000s to one of the best.

9 out of 10 people that experience an AFM lifter failure on their 2014+ GM engine did it to themselves by being ignorant/lazy and running their engine oil too long. Some of them are clueless about car maintenance in general and wait until a message pops up telling them they need to change their oil. Others are dunces that make it a game to see just how many thousands of miles they can squeeze out of their boutique high priced full synthetic engine oil. You can have the fanciest high tech engine oil on the market, it still gets contaminated with carbon soot, combustion byproducts, unburned gasoline, and other junk, none of which will get filtered by an engine oil filter. The only way to get rid of that junk in the engine oil is to change it. So a guy buys is $10/quart fancy engine oil and tries to push past 10k miles before changing the oil, and eventually the contaminants flow into the tiny passages of the AFM system, restrict oil flow, and a pin in one of those lifters gets stuck because it didn't have the oil flow to work correctly. The system "fails" and they go online whining about how AFM is junk when really it was their own ignorance that caused their lifter to fail.

At least though, May, June and July brought a lull. You though, don't get a lull.

If you regularly watch Scotty's Channel, you would know that most GM products took a dive in quality since the early 2000's. Just don't make them like they used to and everything is built to fail when the warranty is up. Also any engine management that deactivates the cylinder s to save gas is also known to wear an engine prematurely. I have MDS on my Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. I have to remember to deactivate it every time I come out of Park. My engine sounds like it's running rough when in eco mode. I have read on many forums to do this to prolong the engine. Plus frequent oil changes like every 3,000-5,000 miles will go a long way to save the engine. Stay away from those Audi's too...😂

I bought a 2007 Avalanche in late 2010. It had 58,000 miles on it. It has an LS3, 5.3 liter displacement. At around 115,000 miles, it started throwing error codes, system failure lights (traction control) would activate. Turns out that I had a misfire in my #7 cylinder. Displacement on Demand (DOD) and Active Fuel Management (AFM) use a complex arrangement of solenoids and special lifters to shut off cylinders #1, #4, #6, and #7. Inside the closed valley area there are four stanchions that carry oil to solenoids that feed the intake lifters for those cylinders. The engine computer (ECM) senses you can run on 6 or 4 cylinders and shuts the oil off to two of the cylinders at a time. Your display on your dash will say you are running in 4 or 6 cylinder mode if any are shut off, running in 8 cylinder if all cylinders are firing. Those lifters without the oil, do not work to open the intake valves on those cylinders. The cause for the failure is usually an extended oil change frequency that may allow dirt to clog the stanchions or solenoids which keeps those lifters from getting oil when reactivated by the ECM. My solution was found online. I found a guy who reflashes ECMs to make them non-DOD or non-AFM. He had a list of parts that I would need. I have also found that Summit Racing lists a kit to delete the AFM on an LS engine. At a minimum, and to eliminate the AFM altogether, you'll need a new camshaft, a set of standard lifters, a new valley pan, a top end gasket set, and new "stretch to torque" head bolts. All parts (except gaskets and bolts) need to be for a non-AFM application. This was the first LS I had taken apart (top end only) and I only saw taking the heads off as the means to get the lifters out. I have heard there are some trick methods, but at the time, I didn't know or see any other way. I did it with the engine in the truck but pulling the engine and putting it on an engine stand may have been easier given I was working outdoors in South Carolina in the summer. Going ahead and removing the hood, fenders, and inner fenders would have yielded more access as well. I did the swap at 118,000 miles and the truck runs great at 159,000. If I were doing it again, I would have gotten a hotter cam or a hotter cam/lifter/pushrod/rocker arm package from someone like Comp Cams and maybe some better breathing heads. It's apart, now's the time to upgrade if you are going to. I'd also get a complete top end bolt kit from ARP and I'd make sure to use anti-seize compound on all bolts going into aluminum parts such as the block or heads. And again, since it's already apart, a new timing chain makes sense. Of course, I had to send my ECM off to be reflashed, but it was done and back in my hands within a week. Good luck and have fun. Oh yeah, all the parts came to less than $500.

HID bulb cost me $260 due to where it's mounted. Front Magnetic air ride strut, $860, Motor mounts $1,340 with Exhaust manifold gasket. The battery voltage regulator was going, side traffic proximity sensor was going. Rear defrost connector cable replacement requires a glass company to install. I installed a Range Technology DOD disabler to keep in V8, That was cool but I lost trust in that car and traded. Guess i'll start looking for a 96 - 02 Viper GTS. We share that same 90's dream car.

When you do the repair you delete the AFM lifters, valve body and use a regular camshaft. Send out the computer for a reflash and no more AFM. Engine will now go 250k miles. If you just fix the AFM it it will happen again. Deleting it is the way to go. Texas Speed sells the kit for $1200 bucks. Its about a 10 hour job to do the delete kit.

The 2014+ AFM engines are fine if you change your oil every 3 to 5k miles. The 6-speed issue is due to a thermostat on the transmission cooler and there's a TSB instructing dealers to replace it for a thermostat that keeps the transmission about 50 to 60 degrees cooler, so as long as the transmission isn't currently exhibiting symptoms of a bad TCC, it's probably fine.

Dealer (purchased it used) foot the bill for the aftermarket replacement and the only stipulation was that I install it myself as they were not a GM dealer. They said no problem and accepted my email saying I would take full responsibility for the install and they would not be held responsible if it failed again. No problems at all as it is going on its third year with absolutely no typical GM failure issues. The dealer was very accommodating and I could not say enough good things about how cooperative they were.

Good ol AFM..... Been there done that. Sometimes you can luck out and all it needs is a cam and lifters, maybe a busted valve spring. Others its catastrophic and a piston hits a valve and its new engine time. I have been on the receiving end of both kinds of failures. What makes it even better is the engines with "dynamic fuel management that will allow it to run on as few as 2 cyl. So the crappy lifters that cause this entire thing are on all 8 cylinders not just 4. Seems like valvetrain failure is all but guaranteed on these engines. BTW, tuning alone and the Range device that disable the AFM system do not stop the problems from happening.The lifters can and do still collapse and get stuck causing the valvetrain failures. Been there as well.... The only way to truly fix it is a kit to remove the system entirely. That means a new cam, new non AFM lifters, a block off plate for the oil galleys that feed the system and programing to defeat it and keep the mill light off. I did one of mine after it failed and the cost was not really any different then fixing it with OE parts. And the real killer, that truck got on average about 1mpg better without the AFM than it ever did with it and all of the odd driveability quirks like the sometimes hard shifting, cruise to acceleration stumbles etc were gone.

My hope is the previous owners had one of those OBD2 port things that shut it off. The fuse for the OBD2 port was blown, which could be an indication that one was used.

The most common cause of an AFM lifter failure is the owner not changing the oil often enough, not the system operating. Change the oil every 3 to 5k miles and don't worry about using a high priced fullsynthetic oil. You can run cheap oil just as long as you change it often so you keep oil contaminants out of the system. The tiny oil passaages in the AFM system get clogged up when people wait until they have 7000 or 10,000 miles on the oil to have it changed. Don't use those Range AFM disablers to turn it off. If you want it turned off permanently, have a tuner do it like you did.

I also own my third Honda Pilot. I have owned 3 and put over 100,000 K on the other 2. I have had the continual problem of changing oil every 5000 miles!!!! Other than that, the best ever.

After multiple bad experiences with dodge vehicles i refuse to buy American cars. The only cars i will currently buy are Lexus and Porsche. For reliability and luxury. And depending what Lexus you choose you can get sporty as well. A GSF with a super charger will out run a hellcat. And last 4 times as long.

I have been loyal to GM, but active fuel management is a dog. I think it is a government mandate thing. Government says you need better economy, so manufacturers have to find a way. As a Libertarian, I wish the government would just let people buy what they want, not what the government tells you what you want.

I have a cooler that keeps drinks ice cold in my 2011 Land Rover that I purchased new and I use it all the time and love having it. It is my 4th Land Rover i have owned in a row since my very 1st one I got new in 1995. It is the only one that had the cooler in it and now I won't get another one without it.

I am from Big3 country and You are on point with GM and the other two. I am convinced they literally build vehicles to get them past the warranty period and leases... and THATS IT. No consideration for the secondary market whatsoever.. and that they are charging as much as they do is that much worse. My last domestic was a 2010 Ford Escape that started rusting on the rear hatch after only four years... blower motor resistor went out... I had enough. Made the leap to Subarus and have only one issue in over 100k miles with the rear hubs. ($800), after over 6 years ownership. If anyone asks me, I tell them the only makes I would consider preowned are Toyota, Honda, and Subaru (bc I'm a total fan boy)
