Can Afm Be Added To A 6.2?

zacharywhitson · November 22, 2010

I understand Denali SUV's and Esky's (GTO, Camaro, etc too) have it but not the pickups. Is it just a software matter? or is there internal differences in the engines? Could a guy try an escalade tune and have AFM?

NOPE

AFM is mechanically different and a horrible abomination. Be very glad you do not have it.

Amen to that. It never works anyway! Mine is always on V8 mode. Punch it and go

Never ever EVER try to add AFM to a non-AFM engine. There is NO bennifit to it.

It just sounds good. I had mine turned off and enjoy it much more that way.

Do not listen to these people. It is wonderful. If you really want it, I'll gladly send you mine. Gives you something to watch real-time on the DIC.

What were they thinking?

AFM is currently causing all the world's problems. It's a fact.

You need to thank God for every minute you have this truck, that it doesn't have AFM.

meh.. I like the AFM.. on a stock engine un-tuned with no exhaust or CAI it works very well. it's seamless and I am getting 17.8 mpg on California Gas in a 7000 pound whale..

I will agree that when you start adding things like exhaust, CAI,reduced torque management tunes, etc it becomes useless but you are changing the parameters in which it was designed to work..

but on a full stock motor with someone driving it conservatively (meaning not jack rabbiting from light to light at high speed, coasting to a stop instead of slamming the brakes, slow accel, and keeping the RPMs under 2000 all the time) it works as advertised and I am very happy with the MPG it produces..

But with that said, if I opt to start modding the motor, it will get turned off, as I know how these systems get when you change the stock environment.

Based in my experience, I gotta disagree. We have about 15- 20 trucks with AFM. All stock. All traces of AFM are being removed by replacing the necessary parts and then changing the programming. Any new truck that is purchased has the requirement that it have no AFM on the engine. These have been a pain in the butt overall. Oil consumption and performance problems.

Exactly, I wish my V-Max would have came without AFM. I want a full time V8, I have it turned off in my V-Max. Turned it off with my Black Bear Tune. Fuel Economy is the same, I didn't see any drop in mileage after turning AFM off.

ontopic---- yes it can probably be done, the issue maybe the oil passages and getting a computer with the afm in it. It would be a lot of work.

offtopic---- bunch of haters on the afm, but i liked getting 22mpg on a 6 hour trip in a fullsize truck, i also like getting the 18 i usually get. are there problems? yes, but i'd get it again. for all the hundreds of thousands of trucks sold you hearing a less than 1% sampling on this forum, just as a perspective.

That's because the rest of the 99% of the folks out there don't even know about this Forum to come bitch on.

AFM is pathetic junk science.
