AFM disabler
Anyone using an AFM (active fuel management) disabler that hooks up to the OBD port?
Pros....Cons?

Had the Range AFM disabler (v8.2 I think? 8.something) and it worked great the first day no issues... second day it threw a CEL. Haven't tried it again since - made me paranoid :/

It will still throw a CEL. No matter what version you have. I just sucked it up and bought a DiAbloSport trinity. You can tune it out yourself with a handheld or get a performance shop to tune it out. |

Disabling the AFM will not affect the durability of the AFM lifters. Even the manual trans cars have them, it just doesn't activate them.

I have never thrown a code in two years with my range on a V-6. That being said, I rarely use it because the V-6 does a good job with AFM, unlike the fifth generation where you absolutely had to have it.

I stopped using mine, exchanged mine through Range for one with the newest FW, still throws CELs. I am used to the change between 4 and 8, I am OK with it. The damn A8 is the issue and drives me crazy some days and in certain situations.
