FAQ

Q1: What vehicles/engines are compatible with this AFM/DFM Disabler?
A: Compatible with GM V6/V8 engines (2005-2020) equipped with Active/Dynamic Fuel Management (AFM/DFM), including:

  • Chevrolet: Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, Colorado, Corvette
  • GMC: Sierra 1500, Yukon XL, Canyon, Envoy
  • Cadillac: CTS, Escalade, ATS, SRX
    Note: Not compatible with 2019+ GM models with 10-speed transmissions (5.3L/6.2L).

Q2: How does this device disable AFM/DFM?
A: Simply plug it into your vehicle’s OBD-II port (under the dashboard). It instantly prevents the engine from switching to 4-cylinder mode, eliminating vibration and power loss.

Q3: Is installation permanent? Can I revert to factory settings?
A: No. The disabler is plug-and-play reversible. Unplug it at any time to restore factory AFM/DFM functionality.

Q4: Will this device modify my ECU or void my warranty?
A: No. It leaves no permanent footprint on the ECU. However, modifying emissions systems may void manufacturer warranties—consult your dealership.

Q5: What’s the difference between an AFM Disabler and an AFM Delete Kit?
A:

  • Disabler: Electronic plug-in device (cheaper, reversible, no physical mods).
  • Delete Kit: Mechanical upgrade (replaces AFM components, requires tuning, permanent).
    Use a disabler for prevention; use a delete kit for failed AFM systems.

Q6: Is this device legal for road use?
A: No. Strictly for off-road/race use only. Federal law prohibits disabling emissions systems on public roads.

Q7: What happens if I leave it plugged in long-term?
A: No issues. However, for extended storage, unplug to avoid battery drain.

Q8: Does it work with aftermarket exhaust systems?
A: Yes. Compatible with most aftermarket exhausts, but ensure no emissions components remain installed (per legal requirements).

Q9: How do I update the firmware?
A: Firmware updates are not required. The device works out-of-the-box for all supported models.

Delivery Time

2-5 working days inland in the United States

Installation Guide
  1. With the engine off, plug the AFM Disabler device into the OBD-II port located under the dash on the driver’s side.
  2. When plugged-in, the AFM Disabler device should illuminate with a blue light.
  3. If the blue lights do not turn on, please check the OBD-II fuse (sometimes the same as the cigarette lighter).
  4. The Range device will work whenever the vehicle is running.

Notes:

  • If your vehicle is not a daily driver, please un-install the AFM Disabler device if the vehicle will sit for more than 3-4 days.
  • Always remove your device before visiting your automotive dealership. The technicians at the dealership will need access to the OBD-II port in order to run diagnostics on your vehicle.

Nice enhancement

My AFM fuel disabler works excellently in my Silverado. I think by using this, I will avoid another lifter problem. I treated that truck so well it only had 60,000 miles on it yet. It had a lifter issues because of this active fuel management. Now that it’s disabled, I think I’ll be fine.
