Picked up my new 2016 Denali yesterday

Just got my Range AFM in the mail this afternoon. Plugged it in and went for little drive. Wow, what a difference. Feels like it's supposed to now.

Where'd you buy from? How much? And what's the story with servicing the truck...do you just pull it?

I ordered from Amazon so I could get it quickly. I think it was about $189. I took the truck back this morning for a tire balance issue and I just pulled it as I got out of the truck. They made my tire balance worse.

There is another way to disable Active Fuel Management in a truck with the 8 speed transmission. Shift the transmission into "M" mode and set the range to 7 or lower. In this mode the engine will stay in V8 and not switch to V4. This is great for non freeway driving. But, if you put the transmission into range 8, it will switch between V4 and V8. You can verify this by selecting the "miles to empty" view in the dash display.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Cool thanks. Which one?

Very nice! Interested in the wheels if you want to sell them

20s on up respond well to road force balancing by a trained tech.

Thanks! Ordered it yesterday and got it today. Just went out for a ride with it...I'm not convinced it's worth the $200 through it was only a 10 minute drive. Will use it for a week or so and see...
