Make sure to unplug it a week or so before going in for any state inspections with emissions. The onboard computer needs 10 clear drive cycles in order to signal ready for emissions testing.

I've gone one.  Had it for over a year.  Love it.  Never got a CE/code.  Best $200 ever.  No drone in the exhaust and it drives so much better in rush hour traffic.

It’s still working as advertised. Unplugged it for a dealer visit with no issues. I’m one of the folks that will tell you my mileage has decreased slightly.  With v4, I’ve gotten up to 24 plus  mpg on long highway stretches. With the range disabler, that # dropped to just over 22 mpg. Around town, it’s about the same drop, but  I still feel the truck is more enjoyable with the range device.

I dropped over a mpg in the city and 2 on the highway. YMMV. Still, I like the response of the drive train/engine with Range installed. Some of this might be because the vehicle iis much more fun to drive.

when i got my first range on my 2014 chev it would through 2 codes and i would just clear them since i have the newest firmware no codes i also lose about 1.5 mpg but at least my truck doesnt vibrate in v4 mode and it also got rid of the harsh 4 to 3 downshift

I've had mine on for about 2 months. Ordered it directly from range. So far so good, no codes. Made the truck feel more "normal" to me. I had a lot of hesitation and lack of power because of afm. My transmission felt like it was messed up. Pretty much the same stuff most people complain about. So far I love the range device.

I am planning on buying the range device from summit racing equip. Any concerns about that? Has anyone purchased one from there. Alot of people on the site reviewed it as play and play no issues. Just want to make sure if someone on here purchased one and is having issues now. I have a 2018 silverado.

I have a 2018 Tahoe and have had it for 3 months and 7k miles. No issues. I didn’t purchase from summit. I’m sure they are fine. Just make sure it’s version 8.6 R1. It will be on the box and flash the lights when you plug it in and start your vehicle.

If you want the latest version I would order it directly from Range.

They have a coupon code on the website. $189 free shipping.

BTW

I have had my Range for about 7500 miles now along with a Borla S Type catback exhaust. 

No codes whatsoever.  A little over 1 mpg improvement.

Has anyone with a 2014 or newer Silverado used the Range device (AFM Disabler) long term, 1 year or longer? Any codes or issues during that time?

OK, I am ready to get flamed.

 

I bought one of these about 3 months ago.  I have a 2016 HC Crew Cab, 45K miles.  I drove with the Range on and off.  Around town I notice no difference at all in performance.  On a recent 500+ mile each way round trip to upstate NY 95% highway 70-75MPH, I got 21.2 MPG with Range OFF and 17.3 with Range installed, just a light load of luggage in truck.  These are actual MPG calculated, not the display although it was very close.  I believe it does what advertise because I watched the digital display.   Honestly, I cannot hear any difference in the exhaust.  I see no real reason to disable the AFM system based on these results. 

 

No codes, no undesirable experiences on or off except reduced MPG.

Thanks for the infor guys. The only reason im ordering from summit or amazon is because i live up in BC Canada. The range website all in ends up being 370 cad. On summit all in its only 260 cad. Also amazon 265 cad. Would you ghys happen to know if it does need a uodate, do i send it back to summit or directly to Range? 

 

Thanks folks

I ordered mine from amazon with the seller being advance automotive for $180. It came with the latest version. But yes you can send it back to range if the update it at any point but the current version is working fine on my 2018

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      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.
