Does a person have to pull the heads to do an Engine Half@$$ delete, and if so, why?
Could swear there's some sort of trick, where you spin the crank slowly, which lifts individual lifters as they ride different cam lobes,
and you can pull them out one or two at a time - but I've never done it myself so don't quote me, please.

My brothers 09 Tahoe just passed 205k with stock AFM running. I don’t think he owns a wrench but he does get it regularly maintained at a private garage. He bought it with a 100k on it.

My 2016 Tahoe just turned 165K miles. 100% stock no issues. I know I should get it tuned but do not trust any shops here in Florida,NYC or New Jersey to tune out the AFM. Do not want to hook up the Range.

Still runs like brand new. Still using 0w20. Change out every 5K miles with either Mobil 1 EP or AC Delco.

@BlackBearPerf Now if they came anywhere near my neck of the woods or in NYC-N.J. I would let them tune it.

Curious why you don't want to use the Range?

173k on 2016 5.3 stock tune and 10k oil change intervals with Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 0w40. I realize this is a pretty unconventional choice and I run it for a lot of miles but I will put cam and non dod lifters in at first signs of a problem. We have a very mixed fleet and this oil is in almost everything from large diesels to small air cooled engines for the past 7 years and no oil related failures to date. Roast away!!!
