145k on my 2015. Totally stock with AFM. No engine issues to date(except had to replace a fuel injector if that counts).

2016 Tahoe 5.3L. 135,000 miles. Stock AFM.
I have started driving with the transmission in M5. Plan to get a tune. Really don't want to have to get the engine repaired on a road trip. I can also get the transmission pressures adjusted to help my reman transmission live.
Does a person have to pull the heads to do an AFM delete and, if so, why?

Yes, gotta change lifters and many other parts to mechanically delete the AFM system.
I'm going to mechanically delete all the AFM components eventually. Just gotta pull the trigger on it which is like $8k including labor if I want a good performance shop here to do it.

I've changed lifters before without pulling the heads. Removed the rocker covers, removed the rocker arms, pulled the pushrods, and pulled the lifters. That was before roller hydraulic lifters and the LS/LT engines, though. Removed the cam out through the front of the engine compartment after removing the grille and AC condenser and radiator. Saves the back lifting out and returning the heads. Plus the head bolt removal/replacement/torquing and gaskets.
Perhaps the valley cover or something requires head removal.
