I just ordered one. I despise that feature. And no switch used every start will last forever. I hate hitting it every time. An we have 3 cars and 2 trucks plus I drive semis for a living. I don't like a special step for just 1 vehicle.

You are really blowing this out of proportion.  I am sure they will refund you if you are really that upset about it.  I never had any issues with mine.  I already replaced mine and sent the "bad" uni

I mainly purchased one not because i just find it annoying to press it all the time but because other family members and close friends may borrow my truck.  Not all of them have these feature on there vehicle.  So rather than ask them to not forget to turn it off when they get in and start it.  This device turns it off automatically.  I mean the light on the switch does come on during start up but the quickly goes out and states on the DIC that auto Start Stop has been turn off just the same as if you used the switch.  I would also notice when it does work at times when it would start up at a stop light I would lose 2 miles less on total miles before tank goes empty.  I like the device in my opinion.

Does anyone know why the increase in price? I just read thru the thread and it was about 70$.

I paid $89 back in August, that was direct from Autostop.

Well maybe not now I have a CEL. I will scan it tonight to see if it's related.

I finally plugged my laptop into the truck tonight. 14 hours each of the last 2 days made me too tired the last 2 nights. The only thing that requested an MIL was the brake system module. A lost communication code. The freeze frame data from the time of the request all looked fine. It's either a fluke or I did something installing the auto stop eliminator. It's off now. I've been driving my old Duramax since that day. I will drive the 1500 tomorrow and make sure it stays off. But there were no ECM or CAN codes that would have been caused by installing that unit. The freeze frame didn't even show any requests from it during the time the MIL was requested.

I used:  AUTOVLOG

 

EVERY time you order something, Google for a coupon code.  I ordered from Griots and The Rag Company this morning and found coupon codes for both.  I wasn't able to find one for BakFlip MX4 cover, and all of the links that I've seen posted for "better prices" are all showing the factory direct price unless you call, however, Amazon had it for $120 less with Free 2nd day Prime shipping.

Anyone who bought the Autostop (AFM)disabler you realize it just controls the auto stop system? You truck still has the the DFM fuel management system the eliminates cylinders when less power is needed which can cause other issues . Ranger has a product that handles both and it plugs into the main plug underneath the dash . Your truck runs on all cylinders and doesn’t shut off at stops. It cost $149 when I got it in 2020. Hope this helps 81F97AAC-A8EB-4D1B-9452-2090B860EC6F.thumb.png.7465b012b5c52739e4d22b46de4a1c30.png

Sadly, isn't compatible with the refreshed 2022 models yet. Wonder what the differences are? Even powered running boards and some bed mats claim to not be compatible.

It's not even compatible with a 21 with the 10spd. Would have bought it a while ago if so. Two birds, one stone.

The Range also wasn't compatible with my '20 with the 8 speed. It caused surging between 30-50 mph when constant on the throttle. Their techs couldn't explain or solve, so I guess I was a unique case to them. Went with the Eliminator that plugs in behind the center console switch and it has been flawless.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By newdude · Posted

      Survey says yes based on the first engine to be released for the Gen 6 engines, the LS6 in the 2027 Corvette.   LS6 has DFM.  Lifter QC and construction has been improved (better/larger locking pin).  Bottom end has dual oiling circuits instead of one like on the gen Vs.     The internet (i.e. Facebook) sleuths saw that patent for a rocker arm cylinder deactivation on a pushrod engine and is running wild that all of the Gen 6s will have this when so far...none do.     Service manual, parts catalog, etc. on the LS6, its got 16 active lifters and has DFM.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I toggled my updates off a couple of years back. Since I don't have any CEL activity and the truck runs fine I'm happy to refrain from rolling the dice. I figure they've got it as good as it's gonna get. Recalls are another matter and I will strongly consider those if I get a notice in the mail.

      We'll know soon. But at the end of the day they'll likely not take owner aggravation and costs into consideration. Probably the most important factor to them will be bottom line, along with units sold. Did they make money off sales of AFM/DFM-equipped vehicles? If yes, and the margin was large enough in spite of warranty and recall costs, I don't know that they will consider much else. Aside from government involvement of course, as in EPA and other regulatory bodies.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      HM oils and cleaning. Well, soft deposits yes, perhaps. Like you say esters are present in in theory that should be a plus. But, is there enough? 🤔 The marker is the "Aniline Point" and it has to be pretty low to solve out baked on deposits. The softer sludge, yea, they do that and that is the claim. Valvoline R&P is the only HM oil I know of (Jury is out on Mobil 1's product) whose chemistry is uniquely able to remove the hard stuff and not be so aggressive as to swell seals to uselessness.    Oxidation levels in virgin oils blends is a good indicator of ester level and higher is generally a lower Aniline number and at one time we could predict without the $400 aniline test it's effectiveness. AN's, alkylated naphthalene doesn't show up in the oxidation test but does show in the aniline test and has become sort of a cheaper go to but most oils only add enough to solve the additive package. Not nearly enough to clean the harder carbon materials.   To your second question about does it matter. Yes is the short answer. Deposits are insulative. Those under the piston crown for example add octane requirement for knock free running. We don't' normally notice in todays motors due to Knock sensor driven ignition R-e-t-a-r-d. At least until the full slate of available values is consumed. Newer motors also often use oil jets to cool the piston to achieve tunes that would otherwise not be possible. Deposits on either side subtract from that. Deposits in fine screens used in VVT/VVL or DFM/AFM services live and die on cleanliness and screens are front and center. Vacuum pumps as well like brake booster in the K2's.    90% of todays oils are Group II+/III blends. A few more at PAO/AN/Group II's. A few boutique oils not Walmart shelf materials have enough solvency to prevent but not remove the hard stuff. R & P the current exception. Even HPL's EC30/40 used as directed (20% max) will get the soft stuff and some varnish out but not the hard stuff.    That orange varnish isn't baked on oil. Those are fuel varnishes left when the fuel diluted in the oil drops out when the oil cools. Like sugar does in a saturated mix of sugar and water that is put into the frig. That is ring sticking material and a glue the binds hard carbon sometimes.    Name brand shelf oils are intended to provide a useful service life at the least cost and highest benefit to the OEM who is trying very hard to keep you in $500 a month payment programs where the real money is made.   Did I miss anything you asked or left unsatisfied?

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Yes, I understand. And I was saying (poorly), that it popped up on the DIC when I didn't have that info screen up. Just like you, but for a different maintenance issue. And just like yours mine didn't need to be shown at that time.
