For the record, the 2019 T1 trucks are now utilizing DFM (Dynamic Fuel Management).

AFM (Active Fuel Management) is the technology used on 2014-2019(Legacy) trucks.

The 2019 TB custom is afm and is a t1 no?

I assume and remember reading somewhere that custom Trim levels will have the L82 coded optional 5.3 AFM engine only and no option for the L84 DFM.

However, there will be more of an abundance of L84 5.3 DFM engines over the L82 as upper trim levels are more popular.

All L87 6.2L engines are DFM.

Yeah but this thread is about 1500 afm and is L82. Don’t want to confuse anyone by saying afm is legacy

Well the OP could have been more specific in stating T1 only and not the Legacy trucks in his Subject Title.

I do not intend to argue but nowhere in the OP's comment does it mention AFM.

 

Inquiring about a disable device for a 2019 truck is a loose statement.

2019 includes the LD K2 truck platform and the brand new T1 platform.

Lower trim levels on T1 have AFM same as K2. Upper Trims of T1 have DFM.  Anyone confused yet? :rolleyes:

There are currently AFM disablers available for K2 which will work for the 2019 LD K2

 

gennylight do you have a 2019 LD or T1 truck with DFM ?  I assume you have DFM because you posted in this DFM disabling thread:

so I have a trailboss custom so I'm not 100% sure what I have. 

Your new truck didn't come with a window sticker?

 

PS  Range is a company that makes a V8 module that plugs into the OBD2 port under the dash, that makes an AFM equipped vehicle stay in 8-cylinder mode all the time.  Search for it in these forums.

I’m not intending to argue either! Just help. All I was doing was correcting you so everyone got the correct information regardless of the OP title, you said all 2019 T1 trucks are DFM, which is false. Hope that cleared it up

It's all good BPVTB.

I did correct myself or further explained the AFM/DFM after I made the 1st post.

Honestly it is somewhat confusing, especially discussing LD trucks for 2019 and T1's  LOL

Bottom line is I am sure some of you with DFM will be pumped about the Disabler once it is released.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
