Has anyone installed any on the disableers on the 2023 silverados yet and if so how are they holding up.

There are none available that work with the 22 Refresh and up trucks.  The new trucks have a different computer architecture which GM calls Global B.  The system is encrypted with a key tied to your particular ECM.  Trifecta Performance has apparently unlocked one of them, but doesn't list it as an available service yet.  I have a feeling it is going to take a while.

 

I emailed Trifecta this morning to see if it is something they will be offering, and got a reply.

"Our market research suggests the price point would be higher than customers would be willing to pay for a standard performance calibration like you’re describing."  I asked about AFM/DFM disabling and a tune over stock.  Basically the cost per ECU in time to unlock it is thousands of dollars to get it done.

So doesn’t deal exactly with your question but with the pulsar. I keep throwing a check engine code “P0711”  trans temp sensor, which is a problem the dealers know about, my issue becomes when I remove my pulsar to take the truck in it clears the codes and they cannot replicate. Has anyone else had this issue?

No. Mine is a 2019 5.3 8spd. No issues with the Pulsar. One time after about a week the truck went goofy and acted like it didn’t recognize the FOB. Wouldn’t start. I panicked and unplugged the Pulsar and it started. Got home and plugged it back in and has worked flawlessly. I hadn’t owned the truck long so I’m not sure if I did something screwy…..

I contacted Range Technology and was told they are working on a new version for the refresh but couldn't give me a date of availability. So for now, I drive in L9 which keeps the engine in V8 mode.

Me comuniqué con Range Technology y me dijeron que están trabajando en una nueva versión para la actualización, pero no pudieron darme una fecha de disponibilidad. Por ahora, conduzco en L9, lo que mantiene el motor en modo V8. 

Seguro que manejando en l9 no se activa el dfm?

Question for bikerjon, what can't you stand about your DFM? I can'f even tell when mine is working. I  was using the Range on my 21 5.3 when I had a lifter failure. I am no longer using the Range as I feal it has no benefit and lowers the fuel mileage.

Cant stand DFM. I definitely can feel and hear when DFM engages especially now that I have piped the exhaust. I bought my truck with a 5.3L V-8 and I want it to run on all 8 cylinders ALL THE TIME! As far as gas mileage. If  I wanted good gas mileage I could buy a foreign car or an electric car or ride a bicycle or just walk everywhere I go. The minute Range Technology comes out with a DFM disabler I will have one.

Very sorry to hear about your lifter failure but I don't lose any sleep worrying about sh*t like that. I just drive my truck ride my bike and live my life.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
