Range AFM disabler question

[Crooksy70]

Hey guys, wondering on my 23 ZR2 I have the range Afm disabler module I'm putting on(can't stand the stumble and hesitation which seems way worse after changing exhaust).......mine take the module that goes under the inside fender(not just a plug in) .......do u have to worry about taking it off when I get it serviced each time? Are they going to cry warranty foul? From what I've read it seems Chevy kinda backs using them? But just wondering...........thanks!

I've had mine in for service including software updates and trim work. Not sure it even shows up when they do any work and I doubt they are looking for one unless there's a problem. I wouldn't even worry about it unless your having motor problems, then maybe pull it.

Sounds like a good plan, maybe I should keep a hex screw driver in the truck case I ever need to pull a few screws to pull it out...........

I just leave mine installed when it goes in for service. No mentions or issues from the dealer so far.

Good to know, the older was simple to pull out of the OSB ........mine is under the inner fender!

That’s the reason it gets left installed.

There will be many Chevy dealers that will not be OK with it and will look for any excuse to void a warranty. As @AXE stated above, they won't go looking for it and, if you have a "motor" or ECU issue in the future, I would pull it to be safe.

I am just going to throw this out there. You can still have AFM lifter failure with these. Pretty well documented on corvette forums. It will help gas mileage etc.

Yes as it’s a mechanical device and can still fail based on its design.

Has anyone paired the disabled with the pedal controller? Does it improve response or help mileage when in economy?

The range and Ultimate9 throttle controller do very different things. They supplement each other and I would highly recommend them both. The U9 will dramatically enhance throttle response and eliminate throttle lag. Gas mileage may go down because you'll be having so much fun driving your truck
