Installed footwell LED's today, replaced my headlight bulbs, ( passenger side high beam was out). The one on the passenger side is a PIA since you need to remove the air filter box to get at it.  Also installed an Airaid intake tube. 

Lol...  yea I was pissed when I did pasenger side...  I removed the rubber guard and the top of air box....   was a pain...

Installed the Gm under-seat storage. 150 flat with shipping  off of eBay 

Did this earlier this week for my crew cab. Got lucky, found one on Facebook Marketplace for $85 that looks new. Actually the first thing I've done to the truck.

Installed black led bow tie on the front. Looks good in the dark,  can’t see it much in the daylight. I knew that going in though. Pretty pleased with it.

I like my Sierra’s fenders better than the Silverado but the Silverado front end (grill, headlights) looks nicer to me. That’s a very nice Bow tie right there ???

Interesting article I read about using a Range Device or other AFM disabling:

 

An AFM Disabler is an electronic device that plugs into the OBD-II port, under the dashboard. It prevents the computer from switching over to four-cylinder mode. It’s a simple and effective way to turn off the AFM system and provides the added bonus of improving exhaust sound.

NOTE: A disabler device should ONLY be used if the valvetrain is in good working order.

Engines with AFM use a high-volume oil pump. When you eliminate the AFM system, the extra oil is no longer needed. Excess oil will be pushed out of the pressure relief valve into the oil pan. This will spray oil on the bottom of the cylinder walls which can cause oil burning, especially in high-rpm engines.

 

So I assume a catch can in unison with a Disabler is key to preventing this excess oil buildup?

So you’re saying turning off AFM is a bad thing to do for the K2’s?

No. I am not taking a stance either way. Just an article I read that had never been mentioned as a possible "disadvantage" to disabling AFM.

So many AFM topics have come up over the years here.

I figured since many run Catch Cans, the extra oil as described above would somehow be trapped.

There are probably many that have disabled and are not running a catch can. Could this be the reason for some who have excess oil burn?

Maybe someone more L83/L86 EcoTech engine oriented can chime in on the above article as to whether or not it is true.

Definitely an interesting debate either way

Well I will be watching this...maybe start a new thread posing this question...just because I have one doesn’t mean I can’t be educated!!! I am not so proud that I live with blinders on ??

Start a new thread! This is interesting to me as I now have both ?
