I’ve been running an intune i2 for several years now, and I’ve enjoyed afm completely off. Recently I’ve been wanting to have it on for highway trips. Are there any other options beyond hyper tech that I can set a speed threshold for afm to cut on at?

On my 14 I ran M5 unless on the freeway. That kept the cylinder deactivation off until I switch to M6 or drive. Later I turned it off with hypertec.

I needa getta tune to delete the afm since I’ve already swapped cam and lifter n everything else, going Wednesday to getta tune. Been driving in M5 now was driving it in D but I think since it was still

going n to 4cylinder mode it messed up my catalytic converters so I done had to swap the whole y-pipe from a 2018 5.3 but now that I keeping it in M5 I think I’m good for now til I get a tune

I was wondering the same, as I'm currently using the max energy 2.0 to smooth driveability and maximize economy.  The tunes and other transmission mods cause some kind of timing retard and clunks in the tranny(on my truck at least) so I have it all stock other than the AFM off below <20 mph.

 

I tried the throttle boost on the max energy and disabled my vitesse controller, but didnt like the way it felt versus the vitesse on sp3.  Pretty happy with how it drives now.

I was able to take the manual mode for about a week before it was a hassle. The Diablo has been great, at time of purchase I was in fu”&k afm completely mode with tunnel vision. Many years later, I wish I would have went with the hyper tech solely to have afm cut on around 55-60 mph. I really can’t justify a new tuner and selling mine just for that, I don’t like afm that much lol. I still get great gas mileage at highway speeds as is for a v8 truck. I was just curious if there were any other options beyond the HT that may be worth a look.

This is a feature I wish all handhelds incorporated.  The Hypertech is the only one I know that can do this short of a custom tune.  

 

If speed >50 for 45 second or more, then AFM= active.... AFM sucks in stop and go traffic with a lift and bigger tires but i would love it on long road trips.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
