Guys, I thought this may be of interest to some, I know I HATED the damn feature myself.

This is the crap version of the eliminator that causes battery drain and possible dead battery. GM even put out a service bulletin about this and the solution is to remove the unit and charge the customer for the service.

I just drive in manual mode and put it in L9.  No more auto/stop or DFM.  MPG didn't change either.

I thought it was the other way around and the in-dash version was the unit causing battery drain?

But the button already installed on my dash is free.  So is driving in L7 or L8 on an 8 speed or L9 or L10 on a 10 speed truck.  $ Free.99.

newdude L10 also disables DFM? So I can use L10 instead of L9 to disable DFM?

No.  L10 is the same as D, just disables any sort of grade braking.  DFM will be active in L10.

If you have the 2.7L of any year running in manual forces 4 cylinders operating all the time? Correct @newdude

Yes driving in L7 defeats AFM in the 2.7 as well.

Well I thought it may be of interest to some, obviously there is a market for it and I certainly would not want you to miss the joy of Focking with that button everytime you drive or driving around playing with the shift lever

Been pushing the button on my dash since May of 2021 when I got my truck. Still have the $100 in my pocket and no dead batteries!

Glad to hear it, I myself bought the Pulsar and have not worried about buttons nor do I have a dead battery.

Nor do I have to fondle my shifter to disable any phony EPA/Govt. garbage.

To each there own.
