I just saw on the Range Technology website they now have a module that disables the DFM and auto start stop on the 22+ refreshed 10 speed trucks.

Ordered mine on Thursday! I have been waiting a long time for this module.

Let me know how you like it and how difficult the install is when you get it.  Very very interested in getting one of these.

Will do. Install looks relatively easy. Peel back inner fender liner on drivers side front wheel and install inline with ECM connector just ahead of the strut assy.

From the ZR2 specific site, they say it takes like 10min to install.

 

One person has said after letting his vehicle sit for a day or so he came back to a dead battery. He thinks it may be the Range but others have said they have not had an issue.

Thanks for posting this.

 

One of the commenters on YT said this device stopped his Amp steps from working.

 

Guy on the ZR2 forum said he was able to get his Amps working again.

The guy on the ZR2 forum said he just disconnected the battery and reconnected it to get it to work.

Looks like Range changed its description and now says some 1500s DFM may activate at slow speeds when no throttle input is active.

 

So I guess V8 all the time except sometimes lol.

Looks it won’t work on my truck with a low 12th digit:

 

’check your VIN. The 12th digit in a 2022.5+ Refresh model must be a '5' or higher’

 

 

Just to clarify... I emailed Range and asked about the 12th digit being 5 or higher.  It is only for the 22 model refreshed trucks.  All 5.3 and 6.2 Silverados/Sierras from '23, '24 and '25 are compatible.

Good info.  Thanks!

Does it work for the 4 cylinder Turbo???  

 

Granted;  totally different system for cylinder deactivation, but just axing.

No Range Technologies says application is for  22.5 refresh, 23, 24 and 25, 5.3 and 6.2L V8s.

24 RST 5.3 10sp

got mine when they released and installed it. No start situation and tons of codes. Removed and reinstalled 4 times, same thing. They said they were sending me a new one. Got the next one, same issue.  Sending both back to them now.  

 

Without it, trucks running as it should be, and after a couple drives the engine light is off.

 

No idea the issue but I sent them all info I could read from the truck with a scanner. We will see what happens! 

 

 

Vin 12th digit is 1.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
