<div dir="ltr">In my experience, it is a combination of things that cause issues with the AFM system. The first (and in my opinion most common) is not doing proper maintenance. A conservative oil change interval with a good quality engine oil seems to go a long way to heading off issues with AFM on the LS motors. The next biggest issue in my opinion is the quality of the lifters that GM used from the factory. I have had several engine builders that I trust say that using a better quality aftermarket lifter in the AFM valves is the best insurance you can buy on a build. Therein is the biggest issue with many of the DOD delete methods being offered. They frequently only address the ECU, taking the AFM out of the tune. This will NOT solve issues caused by low quality lifters failing when AFM is not activated, it can still happen. I don't have experience with the plug in modules, so I can't say if they are safe or not, but like the tune, they don't address the potential problems in the lifters. I also don't know that much about what Jasper is putting in their remans, so I can't say if they are going to cause you problems or not. <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 14, 2024 at 3:08 PM john <<a href="mailto:jniolon@att.net">jniolon@att.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
