I talked to range on Monday and they said they are expecting it some time in January 2020. We will see and I will check back in Jan.

AFM isn't DFM, no more than the 5.3 engine in the 2019 LD old body style is the same engine in 2019 New Body Style.  Not the same and been completely redesigned for the New Body Style.  Will keep mine as I don't hardly feel it and love the gas mileage. 

Thank you

AFM and DFM are different things. You would have to see what your truck has. It would be on the window sticker. They have auto stop/start for all trucks and they have AFM disabler but at this point they do not have DFM disabler. So if you have the L86 engine you have both the AFM and auto stop/start option now from Range per your table above. However, if you have the L87 engine DFM will not be deactivated. 

I realized what I posted right away and deleted it.  Odd that you were able to see and quote it. Must have been that tiny window it was there.

I took a look at the Range website today and they have revamped it and now the DFM is not there at all. Seems they have pulled it off the site. I wonder if they have scrapped the project? or if they will bring it back if they ever finish it. Right now im not holding my breath.

The new web site now lists the same address in UT as Edge products (which is owned by Holley). I wouldn't hold my breath for this ever happening.

Beta testing for the range devices disabling DFM should be starting in the next couple weeks. I’ll check in here if I end up receiving a beta device.

I signed up too. Hope they pick a few of us to review.

Anyone know the hold up on the DFM disabler? both the makers I know of Range and Diablo have been saying "testing" be out in a few weeks since last April? I had the AFM disabler on my 2010 and loved having it... can't wait till they get this one out

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
