The cool thing about the Range is you just unplug it when you go to the dealer. When the warranty is up it's tuner time.

Having a tune doesn't put a scarlet letter on your truck - Id say 9 out of 10 dealers could give a shit about it and do the repair work anyways. If lets say your power window stops working - they aren't NOT going to fix it because you tuned it. And chances of an injector or ECM or something else going out is so slim, I wouldn't even worry about it.

If I'm not mistaken.....a tune on a 15 or 16 is going to require an Autocal so you will actually be able to download the stock tune back in before you go back to the dealer if you are worried about it.

Thread resurrection...got my range afm yesterday. After the second errand run with it plugged in the engine light came on. Unplugged and drove a few more errands and engine light went off...

Hmmmm

I'm not convinced yet on the benefits of the device but will give it a good highway run tonight and see.

The engine light thing is troubling...

Plugs into ODB2 port and disables AFM. Why not spend just a pinch more and get a tune to tune it out, and get additional power & response?


Forgive my stupidity...What do you mean by a tune? I was actually looking at the Range Tech AFM Disabler for my 16 Tahoe..

Thanks

A tune changes a bunch of characteristics like throttle response, gearing etc which is great. The arguable downside is that it could cause a warranty issue so you have to remember to pull and re flash to original tune before a dealer visit. Range simply disables AFM.
