THey defintely need a manual mode. THis is my first AFM vehicle. Other than that, the truck is excellent. Quiet, comfortable,powerful and looks great!
The AFM in my 2007 Silverado was the same way not to mention it was noisy and you could feel it. In the long run on the older 5.3 it lead to premature wear (lifters & valve springs) and other issues. I honestly thing the new engines and supposed "new technology" will just have it's own set of new problems.
