First GM Product

[ranger8996]

hello all...I'm a new member ....just purchased my first GM product this week. I had a 2011 Ford F-150 platinum with a 5.0 V8 that was rear ended at totaled two weeks ago. So I just purchased a 2017 Tahoe Premier with 5.3 V8.

I'm sill trying to get used to the switch from Ford to Chevrolet, the one thing I noticed is the dreaded AFM. My Ford did not have AFM. I don't buy my trucks for fuel efficiency I but them to perform as a truck. So I just ordered a Range Technologies AFM disable module. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks

Ranger

Welcome. I have one in my 13 hoe. Great.

I'm on my first GM product too. I had AFM on previous generation Honda Accords and didn't care for it there either. No issues though with 100K miles of ownership.

Got a link to the product? I'd be interested to check it out.

welcome, my first GM was a Hummer H2, my 2015 tahoe is my second. lets hope this tahoe isn't as much of a headache as the H2.

AFM doesn't bother me. I had the borla exhaust installed and that seemed to deal with the shudder.

I had a range device but it kept throwing up engine lights so I returned it.

Seems to be hit and miss sometimes with different trucks. I have it on my 13 Suburban and it has worked great for us.

Here is the link.

It's only dreaded when it doesn't work. Disable or remove it. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the nice ride compared to the Ford!

I took my wife on our first road trip this weekend...to Chagrin Falls, OH...about 1.5 hours away from Pittsburgh. It was a great weekend getaway...great town, great food, weather was perfect and the Tahoe was a joy to cruise around town in.

How long have you had your 2013 taho ?? Ruffly what did you pay ?
Reason I am asking is I seen a taho 2013 as a small used car dealer and stoped to look at it. It looked neat to shit and still wanted $44.000 cent !! I didn't think it was worth any where near that ! And wasn't optioned out very good.

I bought it new jan '13, i walked out the door at 49 and change i think (somewhere in those $ #'s....GM supplier discount through the company i work for.... not sure if it helped but i would have bought it anyway) its an LT with black granite metallic paint and the factory tow pkg, no nav or tv's... just leather, tow pkg and pwr fld seats.... could do without that. I think in 13 they added some hill climb assist and grade braking bs with the 6sp trans. I coud be wrong on that.
