    Default Help tuning out AFM?

    Just got the wife a Envoy XL Denali and I want to tune the AFM out so it doesn't drone in the city with its new exhaust. Anyone able to help me out?

    Ok, pulled the ECM tune and what in the Sam Houston did I just get myself into? Beginning to miss my Duramax and the old Suburban! I was not much of a gas tuner, I fiddled with a 2002 Suburban's 5.3 and hit a home run right off the bat with some chance guessing and changes, but this engine is a whole new animal. Any help you guys could offer or advice would be great.

    So, here's what I'm looking to do with the wife's speedy grocery getter. I want to disable AFM, which I think I can do by just disabling it, am I correct? Then I want to try to increase its overall power a little, get it ready for a set of E fans and also setup another tune for all out fuel economy for when I go on vacation.

    What kind of knowledge can you bestow on this ole diesel guy gone gasser?

    AFM is disabled by replacing the valley cover with an AFM/DOD-delete valley cover (it seals off the solenoid spaces).

    Can it be disabled in the tuning so it doesn't activate? I want to keep the hard parts for long drives, just disable it in town.

    Crap, I'm on my phone too buddy. I did see a spot while playing half asleep last night in a DOD? Is that AFM? If so, it has a Enable/Disable section. If disable shuts it down, then I'm good to hook.

    And I am trying to help the 2500HD guy track down the real issue, since those bigger trucks are my old forte, as a former admin at Dieselplace.

    Thank you sir.

    Now to tune a little city performance into it and then install an intake. Maybe build on top of the DOD/AFM for this summers vacation and attempt better fuel economy than it already gets.
