So I was told by a few of the Burb/Tahoe guys at truck night ( I take my Silverado out there usually) that the 2012's were one of the better years.
True or not?
The AFM were less of an issues I was told. Even tho I will be disabling it via my Diablo InTune I3 then at some point run a custom tune from Diablew.

What makes the 2012 5.3's one of the better years?

Really don't know much bout these SUV's so any other info yall can tell me that I should know by all means let me know.

I've heard of transmission updates upto 2012...
I dunno about the AFM being less of an issue vs. previous years.. Maybe a better batch of lifters for 2012?

2012 introduced Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control. The navigation unit went to a hard drive based system and you can replay live music. Better voice navigation controls, cruise control updates for towing. Yes, AFM was greatly improved by this point as well.
