Second Tahoe for me

[NH TAHOE LT]

Hi all, first post. Second Tahoe. Had a 95 for 16 years and 300k. Loved it. Just sold my 86 Silverado and bought this beautiful 13 LT

Almost perfect and just 111k. Super clean and I am very excited. Gonna grab one of those $40 AFM OBD things off of Amazon to keep it from going to 4 cylinders unless someone here has a great reason not to. It really runs nice and I would like to keep it that way. Lol

Gonna grab one of those $40 AFM OBD things off of Amazon to keep Engine from going Half@$$,
unless someone here has a great reason not to. It really runs nice and I would like to keep it that way.

Disabling Engine Half@$$ is step 1; if you can do it for $40, congrats.
If you'd like it to run really nice for a very long time, best way to extend the 6L80E's life is to have the tcm tuned to minimize torque converter clutch slip.
A bit more than $40, sure, but even a tcm tune without the ecm will make youo so much happier as a driver.
Just tell the tuner how you want it to drive, and he'll make you wonder why GM was holding back all these years.

Thanks, got lucky with a clean Carfax, 1 owner and they really kept up on the maintenance

Great advice Marky, thanks

HPTuners is the way to go for doing this. Not cheap, but well worth it in the long run.
I used it to turn my AFM off.

Thanks!

I second the hp tuners find a local hands on tuner who can turn the 4 cyl mode off and dial the other stuff in everything i own I’ve had tuned and every single time it was night and day difference on how they ran how they shifted everything

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

VERY nice find!

You won't find a single member of this Forum to give you a reason to KEEP the AFM. Get rid of it as soon as you can.
