DOD AFM Delete videos

[XSELLR8]

I just completed my step by step videos for deleting the AFM/DOD on my 2015 Yukon Denali 6.2L L86. It’s virtually the same process for the 5.3L L83. Hopefully this video series is helpful to others

Thank you for putting these videos together, so that other can learn from your actions. Very much appreciated. Our collective knowledge base has ben increased.

question just finished rebuild on my 6.2, it no longer has dod/vvt does now have truck Norris cam, lifters, upgraded lifters, hp oil pump, arb... Started right up needs a tune though, suspect will need Wideband o2 sensors. do I need to replace all 5 o2 sensors with wide bands ?

 

[XSELLR8]

I am not sure if it’s a narrow or wide band from the factory, but I added a wideband to my supercharged Mustang to monitor the air fuel ratio. The sensor is not interchangeable and needs its own controller, so I’m not sure adding wide band sensors would be plug and play in this case.

youre gonna panic some guys in the 2021 and up group by posting that in here lol

Good to know there is a video of this. Gets pretty deep in the motor to eliminate this engine destroyer tech.

Great videos! Thanks for the info

Thanks! I was on the Mobil app and didn’t realize it was in the 2021 section

I understand some brand new ones are required to have lifter swaps before the owners can take delivery, so maybe it’s good to know when they are out of Warranty

Ha. They should be panicked…

Can this be done via tuning only?

Forgive my ignorance, I’ve only owned this vehicle for 2 weeks now.

It will not keep the failure from ultimately happening, but it should prolong it

I wanted to ask why you didn't replace the oil pump with lower volume version or plug relief valve port? It is my understanding that the extra oil pressure for the AFM system causes spray on cylinders that increased oil consumption. Awesome video! I would love to tackle it myself but my best years are behind me at age 74. Still doesn't look too bad other than the zillions of connectors. Thanks for posting!

It is my understanding that the extra oil pressure for the Engine Half@$$ system causes spray on cylinders that increased oil consumption.

Might have something to do with the fact that the cause of the increased oil consumption is the extra oil pressure IN CONJUNCTION with Engine Half@$$?
Not that I'm sure - it'd be nice if @XSELLR8 would chime in?

Thanks for the vids. I'll look forward to watching them. Do they apply to older (2008) engines?

Do you mean, does this video about disabling Cylinder Confusion, apply to engines prior to Engine Half@$$?

Can't answer that myself.

I can speculate that the use of the Engine Half@$$ oil pump in an engine that is always a full time V8 is unnecessary, but I also don't see how it'd be harmful either.

I guess I was asking that the videos were for a 2014 DOD or newer if the procedure was similar to the 2008 vintage DOD delete. I'm guessing it's similar but probably not identical.

Dude, those two videos were awesome, I plan on doing the DOD in about a month or two on my own suburban, I’m definitely gonna follow along with the videos as I do the project.
