AFM Disabler differences?

[59yukon01]

Probably will add one on my 2016 Yukon with 91K miles and was considering the Range Technology, but then a friend said he got one off Amazon for around $100 for his Tahoe years ago and has been working fine.

So my question will be is there a reason to pay the Range Technology price or are others just as good?

Nobody that's experienced success or failure with another AFM disabler here?

I am watching but I don't have any knowledge of this but I say give this some more time. A lot of good folks on here and some answer only on the weekends - and you asked your question on late Sunday night. This is a popular topic so I'm sure some will chime in. Plus, there are plenty of previous discussions very similar to this. Not sure if you searched that already.

I would add, do pretty quick. 90k miles is right in the danger zone for engine and transmission failures due to that cylinder confusion deal.

I have a Range listed in the classified section for a lot less than what Range is asking, just check their site to see if it is applicable to your vehicle.

Really? I’m at 160k miles with AFM active since day 1……

I ran a RANGE device from 42k to about 155k before I bought HP Tuners and shut it off. It worked just fine for me. It's for sale if you're interested. I don't have a need for it anymore

range probably has the best reputation for AFM disable besides an actual AFM delete via tune.

Sometimes you get a good deal, and other times you get what you pay for. ask yourself this question — are you willing to gamble or go with the tried and true ? Not saying the generic wouldn’t perform, just food for thought.

Imo, I pick and choose where to spare expenses and where to go all out. Until I could do an actual AFM delete via tune, I’d run the range but that’s my 2 cent$

members here may give you a good deal on a used unit. Good luck

I can't touch mine with the extended warranty - so I like to hear reports like this!

I have a question for Range users. I only drive about once a week. Should I leave the range device unplugged until I'm ready to drive? or does that confuse the ECU?

Thanks in advance
