THE FACTORY EXPERIENCE

FEEL YOUR TRUCK CONSTANTLY SWITCHING BETWEEN CYLINDER MODES?

FAQ

QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT YOU.

What does an AFM/DFM disabler do?

It disables factory cylinder-deactivation operation on compatible GM vehicles while connected, helping the engine remain in full-cylinder operation.

Do I need to tune my ECU?

No permanent ECU tune is required. The module works through the OBD-II port.

Is installation difficult?

No. Locate the OBD-II port, plug the module in and drive. No special tools or wiring are required.

Is it permanent?

No. Unplug the module to return the vehicle to normal factory cylinder-management operation.

Will it work with my vehicle?

Compatibility depends on year, make, model and engine. Always verify compatibility before ordering.

Will it increase horsepower?

No. This is not a performance tune and is not marketed as a horsepower-adding device.

Will it improve fuel economy?

Fuel savings are not the purpose of this product. Factory AFM/DFM systems are designed partly around fuel-efficiency objectives.
