Dfm/auto start and stop disabler for 2022 refreshed???

[Alpines boss]

Hope so. I just wish they could figure out why the radios audio keeps cutting out. Really like the truck have owned Chevy’s all my life, I just feel GM’s quality has slipped, big time.

I wish they had left the DFM off my 22' Refreshed 6.2L . I think those trucks with the 5.3L non-DFM will be great long lasting engines.

There are no 5.3's or 6.2's with no DFM. Every one has the same internal hardware (and that's what matters). The trucks "without DFM" simply don't have it turned on in software. So theres no reason to expect the "non-DFM" engines to last any longer.

Not saying they don’t have the same internal components. They don’t have the module that shuts those cylinders off. So the way I see it no DFM in my truck.

That's true...i'm just not sure why that's a good thing - you don't get the fuel mileage savings from DFM but you still have to worry about a lifter breaking. Seems like the worst of both worlds to me.

Tell you the truth, the truck still averages 17- 18 mpg around town, 22-24 highway. After my 2021 TB dropped its number 4 cylinder at only 2500 miles, you sort of get a bad taste in your mouth with this technology.

17-18mpg around town is what I get now with 35's and a 200lb steel bumper.

I forgot about this company. It's also on Amazon.
It's my intention to install one of these on my TB, but I've been too busy lately.

I finally got time to install the 4DTech stop/start eliminator. It will still work if you want it too, now it up to you.

What do you mean by "refresh"?

Just picked up my 24 Trailboss today. Definitely want to disable the DFM!
I'm guessing there isn't a "hack" either?
On my 19 Ram Rebel i believe you could temp disable it by putting it manual shift mode or something like that. I but a Pulsar for it right away so i used that to" tune" out the AFM. Best mod i did to that truck! Made that Hemi with 3.92 gears feel much stronger and had immediate response to pressing the gas. Can't wait for a tuner of sorts for this 2024.

Good luck with it! Cheers mate

OBDLink Carbyte sells the unit for $150.00. Plugs into the OBD2 port and that's it. Works flawlessly! You will not be disappointed.

No concerns about interfering with the warranty or extended warranty?

Thanks!

I installed the Range Tech Refresh version on my 5.3 powered 24 LT.
plug and play. Nothing to set. Disabled both irritants

It’s very easy for an older guy with a bad back to install. Solid connection with audible click when it locks in. As for the exposure to the elements, it’s no more exposed than the entire control unit it plugs into.

The rest is drive and see how it works long term.

I didn’t notice you had already posted a link to the Range Tech refresh offering. It’s nice to simply get in and go.
