What’s the difference if you just put it in M6 just in case you hop on the highway and forget to take it out of M5. What difference would it make in the city? Or does it get into 6th gear just driving in town?
Or buy a HP Tuner and just click disable and disable the slip for dod in the transmission settings. While you’re at it, you can disable the virtual flex fuel that never reads right and fails to report data accurately or quickly. The infamous fuel content runaway ethanol reading causing the vehicle to run so rich you can barely start it and it drives like shit. You reset your fuel composition and it runs great for a little bit and then goes out of control in a positive feed back loop. Disable it and gone for ever. Then if the infamous lifter failure ever hits as the lifters crap design makes them a big failure point even with DOD disabled. You can do the physical delete. Also, the hp tuner route gives you freedom to adjust and tweak whatever and you can gather date and use the system like a scan tool. Check and monitor any thing you want. Disable certain codes from tripping if you want or if you have modified a system and don’t want sensors reporting a failed component that you removed.
I have 2012 2500hd 6.0l sierra and it does not even say anywhere, now im concerned that ive been driving it on v4 all the time since i was complaining about a lack of power for a looong time

The trucks network probably had a issue with the voltage difference in the bulb and caused a fault it happens a lot on these newer trucks when you use a different type bulb it's that advance bulb check system the resistance read in the system is different and your brake light system is linked to your push start ignition system.
Uuhm, my 2009 gmc, uuhm, doesn't uuhm have manual mode uuhm , so your statement that uuhm, this will work for uuhm all trucks from uuhm 2007 is uuhm NOT TRUE!
I think it works in "trailer mode" also. While driving in "D" under a very slight acceleration I can feel a high frequency vibration, which I believe is the AFM being active. I tried the manual mode and the vibration goes away. But when I use the trailering mode not only do I not feel the vibration but the acceleration is a lot better. Uses more gas, yes. But sometimes I like the performance better.
didn't change anything and it still happens, many other people same issue with no change. I am glad that htis fixed yours, but I can't revert electronic changes I didn't make lol. There's a genuine issue with the 2019 where this happens, and no one seems to know why.
Same problem didn't change any lights 22 ram1500 key fob just randomly stopped working wouldn't do anything tried replacing the battery still nothing found video about touching the fob to the start button on dash and it started working again wth Ram🤬
Ok. So please help me I have a 2020 ram 1500 bighorn sport. Key fob puts a red light at the top when I hit the lock or unlock button but nothing happens to truck. I get in the truck. My dash says press break and push start. I do that and truck won’t start. I’ve pressed the fob into the push start and still nothing. I’ve disconnected the battery in the truck and nothing. I changed the battery In the fob and nothing. After an hour of messing. With it. I walked back inside. I hit the lock button on my fob and it locked my truck. Hit the unlock button and nothing. Hit the lock button and nothing happened. My dash only says press brake and push start. Please help.
Some people got lucky. The big facts are this - the AFM system is a bad design and most owners end up with oil consumption,stuck lifters and ruined camshaft. If it was always reliable there wouldn't be any efforts at getting a class action lawsuit. Some of the well known engine reman companies delete the system as part of their remanufacturing process - with good reason!
The problem with the AFM system is the Regular flow Oil Pump. Three years ago I replaced with Melling High Volume Oil Pump..... No ticks, no nothing....Pressure is at 40 at Idle and just a little above 40 while driving. Still burns/consume oil until I make other changes.... 17.5 mpg combined, 22 mpg on highway
I have a 15 4.3 and the smoothness from having the afm off alone is amazing plus the power and delaying of an expensive ass repair… i can go 65 just above 2k rpms in 5th
No issues at all, even on the highway. Why would you think the trans would get fatigued? It's not doing anything it's not designed to do. This mode of usage is even described in the original owners manual. The fuel mileage has not changed either - my Suburban has always averaged 15 mpg and still gets that driving in M5 mode constantly.
*There was a class action suit against GM for lifter failure because of AFM. Honda calls it VCM and THEY had a class action against them as well for similar failures.* *Thank you for sharing this. I was going to buy the $300 disabling tool.*
We bought a used 09 Accord from a private seller. Great car but had VCM misfires. Installed a 100.00 VCM muzzler and is now a full time 6 unless it's really hot out. Honda mainly got sued for excessive oil consumption. 15 years and all these car companies still haven't perfected this idea.🙄
I have all the stock light bulbs, replaced truck battery and key fob battery, even got my self a new fob, push start still not working. Any suggestions???
You don't have to do anything while driving. Simply set to M5 at the beginning and forget about it. The trans works completely normal but as 5 speed instead of six. You do have to choose M5 at the beginning of each trip because putting it in park resets every time.
