May i ask what you used for the fuel log, beings it is longer than a normal holley? Thanks for any help.

What did you use for the fuel log?

Hey how is the 1977 Mustang ii doing? Will you ever make any more videos on it?

Great info for anyone with a 2014-18 GM V8. I bought a 2017 Yukon with 39000 miles on it back in April of 2020. Great vehicle rides nice and is very quiet going down the road. One of the first things I did was install a catch can. The second thing I did myself was drain and replace all the drive line fluids and I also had the radiator flushed and fluid replaced. I also did a lot of research on things that go wrong on these GM V8 vehicles. When I went to my local and very trusted transmission shop, I ask the owner what the best preventive things to do for this type of transmission? He suggested to replace the stock torque converter with a billet converter and a few other modifications to how this 6-speed transmission works. He also suggested to have the active fuel management removed by a guy who comes to his shop to do that along with the transmission upgrades. The cost for the torque converter swap, fluid and filter replacement and computer upgrades was 1700.00. The Yukon drives even better now, and I also did the transmission thermostat delete kit myself. Got the kit for just under 40 bucks. Pretty simple to do, just make sure you do this job when the exhaust pipes are cool. Transmission runs much cooler after the delete kit was installed. I am 70 now and hope this vehicle will last the rest of my driving days. It is my second vehicle, and I never drive it in the winter. It now has 43000 miles, and I am looking forward to spring so I can get it back on the road. Living in southeastern MI it is always best, if possible, to have a sacrificial vehicle to weather all the road salt that is used during the winter season. So far this winter it snows just enough nearly every week for the road commission to use road salt on the roads on a regular basis. I have a yearly prepaid pass for the drive though car wash that has an under-body wash to try my best to prolong the corrosive effects of all the road salt used during the winter. So far this has been a bad year for that. Would be nice to live in part of the county where winter is just a cooler time of the year without all the corrosive effects of road salt. I used to enjoy winter when I was younger, not so much anymore. I do however still walk my 6-year-old Beagle Hound Mix, Cloey every day, weather permitting at the local county park. She helps keep me moving and staying limber. Think spring everyone.

If you get HPtuners you can look up UA-cam videos. Simply shut off the DoD and at the same time tune out the torque converter slip. Make it lock fully when in gear like all trans used to do. If you don’t tune out the slip your tranny will burn itself up no matter what you do. Also, the stock TC’s were junk and they flexed. When your transmission does burn up(which it will) get the rebuilt Torque Converter that has a billet cover. My trans burned out at 150k miles. I always did fluid changes and black crap was always present in pan. A sure sign that your TC clutches are burning. Since I rebuilt with new TC, HPtune, thermal bypass and quality rebuild fluid has been clean as new. Change fluid and filter every 30k. I got 100k on rebuilt tranny and so far so good. I’m hoping I solved the issues but we will see. Fluid is now always perfect. I also had to replace my TCM at 200k total truck miles. $600 - $1800 job depending if you do it yourself. So I put probably 4k in tranny work. Stinks but my buddy has a newer ford f150 with 10 speed trans and 110k miles and he fixed it once for 2k and now it went complete fail and the trans shop said it would be cheaper to buy a new trans from Ford then for them to rebuild. He’s getting ready to put $12k to install a new transmission and some other work on that garbage truck.

Exalant video all 3 are great mods

Nice video. I have had the dod killer OBD2 mod since the day I bought my truck. Ordered a Diablo, k&n catch can and the thermal bypass tonight. Have some 5100 shocks ready to go and Firestone airbags for towing plugs and wires. Should have a new truck by Friday. 😏

You’ve done everything I’ve done and I have no problems

Have you replaced you drive line yet 130 it's only rated for 95 mph from the factory

Delete your a.f.m. or just keep it in 5th gear

Sounds like Bad Engineering has been doing a Slow Death of these Vehicles...

In canada, picking up a 2018 sierra 1500 with the 5.3 from gm dealer. Has 100,000km on it, wont really be towing or really heavy loads, would you still recommend getting the bypass valve? and maybe range afm/dfm disabler for now and possibly upgrade to pulsar later Great videos! Thanks

I’m so glad that I came across this video. I’ve been hesitant to buy this 2017 Sierra Denali because of some of these common issues, but now I feel more comfortable about making the purchase along with these mods. Thanks a whole lot for your reviews….

**PSA**THE RANGE IS FALSE HOPE. HAD ONE ON MY 2017 SIERRA, IT STILL GOT A COLLAPSED LIFTER AT 70,000. MINE IS DELETED NOW SO I DONT NEED IT. NO AFM PARTS IN MY TRUCK AND NO SOFTWARE CABABLE OF TRYING TO ACTIVATE IT.

Hey, wondering how your truck has held up for you. I’m 16, found a good deal on a 2014 v6 sierra single cab. Should I bite the bullet and buy it?

Torque converter, billet a must if you’re towing.

Hypertech 2.0 you can do that and way more. And you don't have to leave it in the OB2 PORT!

That's not a 2016. 2016 has the horizontal fog lights

I have a 2016 Silverado, no problems yet but will be looking into doing these mods. Great video!

I dump my catch can oil in my old oil containers to go to Advance Auto Oil Recycling. I thought about using it on my hedge trimmer bar, but with water and other crud in there, no way, especially poured into mower fuel, no way.

Some AFMs stay hot when the switch is off - poor pin selection, be sure yours does not. My catch can collects about a half oz of oil every 500 miles. Have not done the TBV yet, but will. 2015 GMC 1500 here, great truck, excellent boat puller.

My 2018 680l runs between 178-185. Not towing. Just highway and city driving. Dallas Ft Worth metro area. Running Amsoil trans fluid. So looking forward to what this mod can do for me.

Mine is locked out and my Cleveland is miserable to start at 32* initial

Bom u just destroyed the motor easy bom

U better slow down there big boy. Before u blow a valve off your self. It’s not worth a heart attack. Have a bugger n fries tony does not know shit. U would make it anywhere. U better sit down and relax n DONT go anywhere.! What u are talking about is a wrap. Not sure if u are talking lawn more or something else

I have a ford 4 sale. 1993 OBS 4x4 Standard. Warn hubs. Short box. New fenders new cab. Not driving in winter. 4.9 best motor in the world. 161.000km original stereo. And 5 speed

Hey can you ask your buddy if he would sell the sb2 motor and spare parts? I have cash money

i bought a device similar to the range BUT i have watched videos where ppl have used that device from day 1 and lifters still fail and other videos that say those devices do not help that being said, im no expert, just repeating what i have seen/heard from other videos

Yes. Many of these recommended mods apply to 2018+ years as well. re: AFM/DOD deactivation module (to save lifter and Cam), Transmission Cooling bypass kit, Remove (disable) Engine auto start/stop, remove (disable) down hill braking, upgraded convector (when it needs replacing). Low cost DIY upgrades to make these GM vehicles last longer...

The only problem with this DOD deactivate chip is that it will not allow the check engine light to come on when you get fault codes.

Hey Michigan how would I go by making sure both cam and crank shafts are in time perfectly on thos 4 cylinders just as in ur video, would be a great help

Drop the link to buy the part’s

Greetings from soggy Oregon! Just found your channel via Glenn's Hot Rod Garage's channel. Checking it out over the holidays. I'm going to be building a 400+ inch SBC for my old Buick so maybe I can learn something from your 427 build.

I did the transmission thermostat a few years ago it seems to work great for the summer time but it sure does not like winter. My transmission feels great at about 130° but it is hard to get it there in the winter time. I went from the best truck ever made a 98 Chevy Silverado to a 2014 and these trucks are nothing more than glorified grocery getter

One more you need to get is a throttle body spacer you also need a throttle controller that plugs into the gas peddle to help with the lag in the peddle

I had a Range AFM for my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 and it would do weird things from time to time like flash power steering and brake codes, and also on several occassions I would put key in and nothing, couldn't start my vehicle turnd the key and nothing no power, etc. I had to unplug and re-plug in to start my truck. I since have stopped using it several years ago and sold it. Wondering if anyone else experience some weird issues like this with the Range AFM disabler?

Where did you get the parts

100% HP tuners MPVI3

What is the deal with head lights pointing up in the trees

What brand of oil due to use for your truck?

GREAT VIDEO!!

Love your truck. I have the very same onyx black slt crew z71 std box truck in my driveway. Mine has the cocoa/dune interior. My trans went out at 130k. Normal time of failure for the 6l80. I'm at 140k now and rolling strong. All stock except for the drilled and slotted brakes and 22" Denali wheels wheels from a 2023 Sierra. Trans shop told me the lock up converter ate itself and sent debris throughout.

Where do you get your floor mats

Another question, how much oil are you finding in the catch can on each oil change?

I am having the hardest time finding a link for the trans kit. I have a 2018 Tahoe. I found one from PPE that looks to be similar, I guess I'll go with it. Does Shift Technologies have a website?

Regular transmission fluid changes helps as well

In canada, That AFM... failed around 170,000mk 105000 miles ish. Decided to delete the whole system and upgrade the cam. Love the new power, but it was not worth it as the shop kept "finding" things wrong. Did the Trans mod, just flipped the pill. Catch can is next. you change your headlights... stock junk lol head light revolutions has great products.

Nice El Camino !!!!!❤
