Wondering how far a AFM motor can go, I'm about to turn 100k on my 2017 5.3 6L80 with disabled AFM since around 50k miles.

Anyone own or hear of really high miles on an AFM motor?

Anyone hitting 200k, 300k, etc with AFM disabled?

I’ve got a little over 281k miles on my 2015 with original engine and no mods. Runs like it should. 0w20 Pennzoil ultra these days with a premium filter

I have an acquaintance with 211K on his 2011 Avalanche with no issues with his AFM, nor his 6L80. I have another acquaintance with 188K on his Tahoe. He just had his tranny rebuilt and has no idea what "AFM" even means. My luck will probably differ from these two guys - for the worse! However, I pray not. I installed an AFM disabler at 31k. But I only have 33K so far (2014 SSV).

Currently at about 162k on a 2017 6.2L. Had #4 pushrod get bent, but replaced the rod and it's still running on the OE lifters. Time will tell....
