Thread: Silverado v4/v8 mode

  1. #1

    Default Silverado v4/v8 mode

    Is there anyway to turn off the v4 mode on a 2014 Silverado without a tuner? Will the dealer do it if I ask? If not I have read conflicting write-ups that it will and wont void a factory warranty...any truth to that?

    Afm is not controllable by the common operator/owner.
    A dealership will not disable the feature. I'd be amazed to find any dealer to do so. Most available aftermarket tuners dont support the function to toggle it on or off. Im not sure of any under 500.00 that have the capability.
    To configure it outside of GM's authorization, that'd void warranty.

    I have seen a lot that will do it. I am more curious if the dealer will notice. This one stats it will make it untraceable to the dealer....

    Personally that cost for purpose is quite high.

    It is super annoying on the highway having it switch back and forth and when it drops to v4 in the city the exhaust sounds horrid.

    Just think about how much you're helping the environment!

    If you come across a cobra in the wild, wipe it off and apologize.

    not when it eats up the lifters and you end up buying a new motor. My brother just went through this with a truck with 125k.

    For the money, spending more cash to program more module would be my route.

    I plan to tune it out on my truck after the warranty expires. I should have around 45k miles at that point.

    And no, the dealer cannot remove AFM.
