New BB tune/AFM question

I have read on here where some of you guys have the AFM set to turn on at highway speeds, say above 60 mph, and off at lower speeds. I was thinking that I would have it on while at lower speeds for city driving like from 35 to 50 MPH and off at highway speeds, above 65MPH. Is it just preference or is there something I'm not thinking of as far as benefits to having it on at higher speeds and off at lower speeds. Getting ready to send BB my stock recorded results so I thought I'd ask before I tell them what I want to adjust.

 

Thanks.

With AFM ON at low speeds, my transmission seemed to lug around and get caught in the lower gears trying to shift/stutter.

 

Now I have AFM off completely, and I have a separate tune for traveling that turns AFM mode on. I'd stay w/ AFM mode on @ 60 MPH+

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!

      First time it really happened to me was when I was 69 yrs old and I was called "Old Timer" by a complete stranger. Then in rapid succession came the aforementioned "Old Man" and my favorite of all "Pops".

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees after sitting.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.  I've seen it a bit more if you are parked facing the sun too when its really hot out.
