finally ordered my 2015 silverado double cab!! it was just time to replace our 2003 Avalanche. the Avalanche has served us so well. 191000+and still going strong. new one is a 15 dc 4x4. 5.3, brownstone, cocoa/dune, 18'" wheels w/ raised white letter tires, LT plus, E85, 3.42 & trailer brake controller. nothing over fancy, just what we need. now i need to figure out what mods to do first. biggest decision is which exhaust to go with. had corsa sport on Avalanche all these years and absolutely loved it. no issues ever, no matter what driving condition,or what i pulled. would love to hear gm borla. thank you for all the posts, good or bad. I can't wait to get this truck!!!

Congrats on the new ride! First thing I did was remove lower valence and install RANGE AFM disabler. Then a level kit. And that's about it so far lol

RANGE AFM, does it really work? does it mess with warranty?

Yeah it disables the v4 mode. And as far as warranty goes ), some people says it does, most say it doesnt. I wouldn't believe it would because it's not reflashing the computer

Seems to be lots of controversy over the Range and some problems it may create (kills battery, throws codes). Be sure to do your research.

You can also disable AFM by shifting to M.

 

It's free and you don't have to worry about your warranty!!!

If you care about using grade braking, Grade Braking is not available when

Range Selection Mode (manual mode) is active.
V4 will still work in the top gear, if the top gear is selected in M mod.

Got mine from autoanything.com and also got 20% off the order as well as $10 overnight shipping. I heard reports about it throwing the service stabilitrak and brake assist messages. If this is correct, mine has done it twice but some have said that's because it's not the latest version loaded on there. You just call the manufacturer and give em serial number and if it needs to be updated it's free of charge. About to do this soon for my truck actually

Some are worried that this version might work like some of the early versions did.

How did the old version work? This 2015 is my first AFM vehicle and the switching from 4 to 8 to 4 is totally seamless.

Why would a guy with a new truck want to disable AFM?

Because with any exhaust modification it sounds like poo in v4 mode.

I also read somewhere that it contributed to increased oil consumption. So I put the disabler on my truck as well as a catch can

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
