Welcome to the forum, I think we need an introduction first before you can get any responses.

 

 

SECOND...

 

Did your search yield you any results?

 

 

BTW, it appears you are shouting at us, go easy on the caps :rollin:

Thanks for the welcome.

Of course my search didn't yield any results, hence the post.

 

 

Sorry for the caps, ever heard of copy and paste.

It's always good to mention that "the search didn't yield any results", that seems to be everyone's first reply if it wasn't mentioned, I just beat everyone else to it :rollin:

 

 

Get a custom tune, www.blackbearperformance.com, that should Disable the AFM.

 

Where you from Lance? I ask because there are several group-tunes going on in Minnesota, Dallas, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, & Georgia right now. Justin from Black Bear is doing these tunes and if you want to drive to one of these to wake-up-that-beast, he can also Disable your AFM.

Here is a TSB on AFM issues. My 08 has vibrations in V4 but the trans checked out per the test indicated. They are waiting for GM to find a solution but I have not heard back yet.

I wrote that on there. Dealer gave me the TSB because I asked him for it. I wanted to know what they proposed to do should that be the problem. I don't let the dealer do a thing to any of my vehicles until I know exactly what they are going to do. Been down the road with my CTS and drove away from the dealer with a rental car because what they said was going to take 30 min ended parking my CTS for 3 days waiting for a new PCM because of logic lock.

Shit happens, no one can forsee a logic lock. But I'm sure you are way smarter than we are :rolleyes: .

 

Can I have your vin. I have an idea about a fix but instead of looking all day for it if I have your vin I can quickly verify what I am thinking for a fix before I send it to you.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
