DOD AFM Delete videos

Can this be done via tuning only?

Forgive my ignorance, I’ve only owned this vehicle for 2 weeks now.

It will not keep the failure from ultimately happening, but it should prolong it

I just completed my step by step videos for deleting the AFM/DOD on my 2015 Yukon Denali 6.2L L86. It’s virtually the same process for the 5.3L L83. Hopefully this video series is helpful to others

I wanted to ask why you didn't replace the oil pump with lower volume version or plug relief valve port? It is my understanding that the extra oil pressure for the AFM system causes spray on cylinders that increased oil consumption. Awesome video! I would love to tackle it myself but my best years are behind me at age 74. Still doesn't look too bad other than the zillions of connectors. Thanks for posting!

It is my understanding that the extra oil pressure for the Engine Half@$$ system causes spray on cylinders that increased oil consumption.

Might have something to do with the fact that the cause of the increased oil consumption is the extra oil pressure IN CONJUNCTION with Engine Half@$$?
Not that I'm sure - it'd be nice if @XSELLR8 would chime in?

Thanks for the vids. I'll look forward to watching them. Do they apply to older (2008) engines?

Do you mean, does this video about disabling Cylinder Confusion, apply to engines prior to Engine Half@$$?

Can't answer that myself.

I can speculate that the use of the Engine Half@$$ oil pump in an engine that is always a full time V8 is unnecessary, but I also don't see how it'd be harmful either.

I guess I was asking that the videos were for a 2014 DOD or newer if the procedure was similar to the 2008 vintage DOD delete. I'm guessing it's similar but probably not identical.

Dude, those two videos were awesome, I plan on doing the DOD in about a month or two on my own suburban, I’m definitely gonna follow along with the videos as I do the project.
