Any recommendations for a good AFM delete unit ? Have a 2008 Tahoe 5.3 120,000 miles
Thank You

I have no information on AFM delete units, but others on this Forum will chime in. You can also delete the AFM through a tune, such as a Blackbear tune, while enjoying the performance improvements.

You might get more help if you posted this in the NNBS/GMT900 section. This is the 2021+ section. Maybe a mod can help @07Burb @Fless @Miami-Dade @NathanJax

To get the ball rolling, what exactly are you referring to as an "AFM delete unit"? A plug-in module to disable AFM from engaging or an actual delete where you replace the AFM parts with the non-AFM counterparts?

Cheapest and, IMO, the best option for just disabling: https://lt1swap.com/afm_delete.htm

Just got all the parts delivered yesterday from Texas Speed; almost $900.00 worth but they are all high quality including a new cam, lifters, trays, gaskets, every single bolt and stud required to do a first rate AFM-DOD mod. Looking at just over $2K for labor but the ‘07 has less than 140K miles so I think it’s worth it.

If you are thinking about it just have your VIN and call Texas Speed and they will walk you through the process and save you money. I was about to order online and decided to call and it saved me over $140. on parts alone.

Did they send you the little LM7 camshaft or the LM33 shaft?

I chose the LM7 because I have no special needs, but I had a choice of 6 different cams.

Let us know how she runs afterwards, that grind is smaller than your original camshaft. The L33 is the same grind without AFM.

Correct, since I don’t tow and not looking for performance other than the best MPG I can get were my reasons for the choice. I know others are looking at how fast they can get off from the light or better acceleration from 70 mph. I on the other hand have to idle for extended periods because I use my vehicle as an emergency volunteer during severe weather or other disasters. And even with a smaller grind it’s still a 5.3 and has horses to spare when needed.

Same here, but happens when my wife runs into the store and says she'll be back in a minute for 1 or 2 things!
