Description
AFM DFM Disabler, Active Fuel Management Disabler for GM V6 V8, DOD Disabler
-
No wiring, no shop visit: this plug and play OBD2 module clips into your vehicle's diagnostic port and starts working immediately
-
Built for your GM truck: compatible with select Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Tahoe, Avalanche and Escalade models with 5.3L, 6.0L or 6.2L engines
-
Nothing permanent, nothing risky: it works without changing or reflashing your ECU, so unplugging it returns the truck to factory AFM/DFM operation
-
Feel the engine run at full power: disabling AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation keeps the engine in full V6 or V8 mode for more consistent power and smoother throttle response
-
Reliable, everyday operation: the upgraded disabler runs stable during daily driving, helping prevent unwanted cylinder deactivation
Cylinder deactivation is supposed to save fuel, but on plenty of GM V6 and V8 trucks it shows up instead as a shudder, a hesitation or throttle that doesn't feel like it used to. This AFM DFM disabler plugs into the OBD-II port and gets to work right away, and because it never changes or reflashes the factory ECU programming, unplugging it puts the truck straight back to stock AFM/DFM behavior.
As an afm disabler built around the OBD-II port, it needs no wiring, tools or complicated installation — plug it in and full V6 or V8 power is available right away, with no unwanted cylinder deactivation cutting in during everyday driving. It's compatible with select Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Tahoe, Avalanche, Escalade and other supported GM models running 5.3L, 6.0L or 6.2L engines, though it is not compatible with models equipped with a 10-speed transmission. Because the ECU itself is never modified, the module is as easy to remove as it is to install.
