The best thing about AFM DoD is taking it all the way out of the engine, not simply shutting it off. It also provides a excellent excuse to add a better cam, larger injectors and a supercharger or turbo!

Completely understand Matt's frustration with the wiring on that Camaro. I've had to fix multiple "geniuses" attempts at wiring up stock systems, performance systems, and systems that didn't even belong. Those are the times you just want to duck tape the person to a chair and have Elmer fudd slap the crap out of them. Because even he knows better.

One of first mods was turning AFM off on my 2014 Silverado. On hwy still can get well over 20mpg. It's all gimmick. Great vids guys!

“I’m sure you saw that gold tape and got hyped” lmao

Thanks for the lunch time upload!! Killer content as always

I learn something new every episode. Good shit!

Damn that's a good improvement 80hp with just heads and tune.

You fellas are killing it😜

The reason I always hated cylinder deactivation was that it's hugely inefficient from both a valvetrain and bottom end perspective. You shut down those cylinders but then you have dead weight in the rotating assembly that you still have to move. That means the other cylinders are now doing more work than normal which requires more fuel. So basically, like Fran alluded to, it's a corporate gimmick used to get around CAFE standards but doesn't work in the real world.

So not true. My 18 2ss on highway on touring mode gives me 35 mpg. I drove from NY to VA 2 times back and fourth. And the car only consumed half the tank. I drive in NY from Queens to Manhattan or queens to NJ and I loose half a tank in 1.5 to 2 days. Just making those short trips.

@@JsBlazIN I understand, but you didn't do a comparison of that same trip without deactivation. I know guys with cars running factory cam profiles or similar making around 500 whp that get over 30 mpg hwy with the right tune. You might eek out a few more mpg but it's not worth the loss in around town mpg.

Good point about the MAF sensor plug!

Great info and great channel.

DFM or Dynamic Fuel Management is out now also. It can disable any of the 16 lifters.

I want a set of those rpm valve covers too!

I need that tune on my 5th gen

6:30 lol i totally understand where Fran is coming from and i have my own experience with this lol 😂

Yup def a 2v mustang, parted out an 01 Bullitt I had that got totaled and was the biggest pain in the ass to get that starter off

Fran for president 2020

@RaceProvenMotorsports Top notch work as always guys!

Interesting on 2015 Camaro SS LS3, sport mode , rev limiter 5800, top speed 141, drive mode down shift to 3rd and accelerate rev limiter is now 6300 and top speed 155 and a cute little sign appears telling you , you have reached top speed. Crazy as hell.

My MPG actually went up .2 after putting a AFM disabler on my ‘11 SS. Crazy...

I resonate with this on a spiritual level. 19:50

The start stop jokes 😂😂💯

Yep I have the same problem with my 11 2ss it ticks when u start it up I need to pull the intake and check and see if the bolts for the dod plate are loose I really want to do a cam and delete long tubes and tune

RPM , Have y'all ever thought of building a GM 8.1/496? I mean technically it's just an LS big block built for truck applications and low rpm. But, with the amazing skill set in your shop aaannnddd your connections to have parts made to order🤔🤔. I just wondered how much power you could ACTUALLY pull out of that forgotten middle stepchild of Chevy engines😏😎.

My LH6 had that DOD with a bad lifter. Replaced cam with Howard’s ASA cam and LS6 and made 375 hp with 2.5” exhaust and Hooker cast manifolds

Saw you guys along Delaware river Sunday evening. Hope white Vette was ok.

The blue 1le stage 5 is the reason why I didn't do the work my self on my white 1le ! Just take your car to RPM let them do it right from the gate .

4v. Not a big deal, extensions through front to reach starter bolts. Just like the top bell housing bolts too

How much are you leaving on the table with catted headers vs cat-less

Just had Chevy fix a stuck lifter in my 15’ Tahoe . Definitely a issue.

Dodge has that same cylinder deactivation crap when you’re cruising it goes to 4 cylinders makes my car drone like crazy but if you drive the car “manual” shift the gears yourself it won’t do it

What kind of rwhp does the 1LE pick up with Rotofab cai Equal length longtubes (kooks) or (corsa) And a tune? I'm curious, just bought a new 2020 Camaro 1ss 1LE. There are a lot of Mustangs around where I live here in southern Ohio.

I like this.

I know exactly what Ford starter he’s talking about, changed one on an F150 and the rear bolt was already out from whoever changed it before lol

My family's old '09 Yukon XL had AFM, and one of the lifters went bad. I'm not sure which cylinder it wend bad on, but I have a feeling it was either cylinder 4 or 6. Not long after that issue presented itself, they traded it in on a new GMC Terrain lease. Tiny little turbocharged 4-cylinder, with the god-awful start-stop "feature". I hate it.

Are any of the LS engines available without AFM? I hate that you have to take the heads off to replace lifters that was never the case with old V8s. I don’t know much about these new engines but I hope those plastic sleeves aren’t the only thing that keeps the roller lifters from spinning. Because I’ve heard where that has happened to almost new engines.

As a 25 year technician people need to understand just because we've done a job 100 times shouldn't have any relevance on the cost to do it. Just because we have become efficient at something we should charge them less. They should think that we have a great amount of experience with the job so they know it will be performed correctly and in a timely manner and that is what they are paying for. Just my 2 cents!

Can you do a 5th gen Camaro with on3 turbo kit in one of your videos

Do you guys work on old vettes? 1979 coupe to be exact

Man I remember my starter went out on my 83 mk2 supra and noticed the top bolt was left off. Needless to say when I changed it out I left that bolt off too bcs it was impossible to do. Lol

Not just the startup, it takes much more fuel etc.. To restart the damn thing!

Matt with that look! lol

I’ve replaced countless afm lifters in the 5.3s it’s usually cyl 7. Always replaced the vlom since they are controlled by oil pressure. Bad design

I've never put that top bolt back in on those Ford starters.. lol 🤣😂

thumbs up right at 56 seconds

Seeing a C6 Z06 on the dyno and hearing it go through the rpm range. Sounds so sweet especially when it hits 7K. That blue on the Camaro looks really good. Its funny how people think they will be saving tons of money by doing the work themselves and then end up having to bring it in anyway. It takes money to make power. Doing it right the first time saves you the most amount of money.

Fran looks like the Giants off of Clash of Clans

My moms 2017 jeep she owned had the start stop thing and they have 2 starters for it although it's still very annoying

This is a older video but for anybody that wants info you can perform 1 downshift from being in 2nd in "M" manual mode on 2012 L99 auto and it will automatically turn off AFM/DOD and it will never come on again as long as you leave it in manual using paddle shift. If you move it out of "M" manual it will return to AFM/DOD until you do that again. I have a convertible 2012 L99 2SS Brembo's package with Stainless Works Retro Chambered cat back system, NGK plugs, and Moroso wires. Other than that it's bone stock including tune. It won't even powerbrake. The computer from factory settings doesn't allow it. Hope this helps anybody..

We do have big plans for the drivetrain but it's still a couple years out. It's approaching 140,000 miles and it runs great. It has just started the 10 to 20 second lifter death tap on a cold start. It's faint but it's getting time to tear the block down and get into it. I can only suggest what we are looking at it's not a race car it's a convertible and we just enjoy cruising. I am going Texas Speed all the way with their heads and cam package. The package also deletes AFM/DOD. TCI or something similar transmission with a carbon fiber driveshaft. There is a performance shop near route 66 drag strip that's going to do the whole package when we get to it. Some paint and body work to get it looking new again. I might post a video online when it's complete and we get a dyno and everything. Just keep looking on KZread for something a couple years out from now. Happy cruising..😎

SS sounding mean at the end 🤤

Funny how this throwback is exactly what happened to my car and i had to figure it out myself. Previous owner put a cam in my 2016 chevy ss but didnt do valve springs, lifters or anything else so 30k miles later theres a collapsed lifter. i ordered the dod delete kit as soon as i got the cash, now to just get the labor done and my car wont be a 4 cyl. i told my gf this too lol.

I was wondering I have a tr 6060 it feels funny could I bring it in and get it checked out

It is the 2v mustang. You make some new words when removing the starter lol

Yup. 4.6 Fords. I never put that 3rd one back in. It's insanely difficult to reach. They could have put that one bolt in reverse and it would have still been easier.

My Charger has cylinder deactivation too and I hate it. When I do a cam it will be gone, but for now if I run in sport mode, or use the ZF-8 in manual mode it doesn't kick in. There has been some speculation too that it is linked to the dropped valve seat issue some 345 hemi's have had and the very light 5w-20 oil that has to be used for the cylinder deactivation to work properly causing the lifter issues.
