Works great on my 2017 Yukon Denali. What “same issues”?

what is the lowdown on this thing? Do they work? All the time?

At $200 I'm 1/2 way to a tuner. And since I've seen so many posts about it causing issues, I'm inclined to just pony up a few more $$$ and get the Tune from BBR. I positively despise the AFM and V-4 mode. Causes a weird shudder, and sometimes a tonal we can hear. I'm also about to put a performance muffler in and remove the butterfly valve. So AFM/V-4 will only be accentuated in the annoyance department

Early 2015 with 5.3. Build date of April 2014.

As I've mentioned before, I use the Range AFM Disabler on 2017 Yukon Denali. It is version 8.1 (I believe that's the most recent) and I bought directly from Range. I've been using it since February and it does what's advertised. Occasionally (maybe once every few weeks) on start up I'll get a CEL which is easily corrected by unplugging OBD device and re-inserting it. I chose Range over tune since I didn't want to have to refresh ECU back to stock before taking into GMC shop. My decision might have been different if I was out of warranty then I wouldn't care if the tune flash was installed or not.

thanks, that is the sort of thing I'm looking to avoid

I still have Powertrain warranty, the Bumper to Bumper expired in June. only 37k miles after 3+ years. I'm not going to mess with a product that doesn't work 100% out the box.

Unfortunately, that is a very real consideration. It seems that, sooner or later, it will be in for warranty work.

I returned my range because of it throwing check engine lights. Worked for a week and then that nonsense started. Unplugged and restart truck usually fixed but one time it took 24 hours to clear. I ain’t got time for that.

Put on a cat back and the v4 is less noticeable.

Man that’s a pain. What year car and what version of the Range. I’m running v8.1 on 2017 Yukon Denali. The very few times (maybe once every 3 weeks) I get a CEL, unplug and plug clears it within 5 to 10 seconds.

Ahhh, forgot about that... right....

So? @rherbst whadya get?
I got the right one. Sent it back because mine was old and they loaded new code (17 Tahoe). Still does not work right. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes it does not. Emailed Range and they said they would send me a knew one. Three emails later. Not a word from Range. Nice waist for a couple hundred bucks.
