I bought & installed a new Range AFM delete for my '16 Suburban with a 5.3 EcoTech and 6spd trans. I really hate the way the truck feels/drives in V4 mode. Drove the truck on a quick beer run. Worked great no V4 when trans is in "D". Next day drive out to see family, about 45 minute drive. All is fine. Leaving for home start the Burb and get a check engine light. Truck seems fine the entire drive home. So I get the handy code reader out and find two codes...P0700 and U0100. At this point I don't know what those codes mean. A quick google search reveals that P0700 is a generic code for TCM and U0100 could cause a failure resulting in short engine running times/durations. Keep in mind that I got this info off of the highly accurate internet so the code information is at the least vague. Bottom line I took the Range device out.
Today I on the way to drop my daughter off at preschool the engine light is still on Range device is out. Drop off complete get back in Burb start it up and the engine light is out/off.
Now I purchased the Range AFM delete device on Amazon and the box was not sealed up and quite worn looking. It did not have any indication of which version it is. I read on Range's web site that they were having trouble with power steering codes on the '14 & newer GM trucks, but they say that is fixed. I did not see anything about P0700 or U0100 codes. I called Range & left a msg. this morning. Haven't heard back.
I went ahead and sent it back this afternoon. I really thought that this would be the way to go for me and not worry about voiding warranty with a custom tune. I did have my '11 Silverado dino tuned and was really happy, but I always had a small fear about voiding warranty. So Range is out for me. I am now reconsidering a custom dino tune. Guess I gotta get the big boy pants on and void warranties.
Thanks for reading the long post.
