  6. GM Active Fuel Management

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    The truck still has the balance of the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty, which I plan on extending. I am definitely not opening up the motor, and the tune will stay stock as GM is getting wise about recalibrated ECM's. I saw a recent TSB on the subject, and I don't want any potential future headaches with warranty work......

    About 2 weeks ago, I traded in my daily driver '03 Tahoe due to some forthcoming expensive repairs, and picked up a clean GM Certified '09 Tahoe 1LT with 40k on the clock. This truck along with most newer Tahoes has a 5.3L flex fuel LMG with Active Fuel Management(4 cylinder mode during light throttle highway cruising). After some research about AFM on the web, it seems that some people have had issues with Lifters failing due to the AFM system between 40-80k. Does anybody have any insight on this? Thoughts? After reading some of the horror stories out there, I am considering disabling the AFM on this truck. The previous owner changed the oil religiously every 3k. Am I over reacting?

     

    I saw this device on the web in lieu of getting a custom tune, I want to keep the truck 100% STOCK........

  16. Girl Problems Again...this time it's a bit more than just a simple

    First off, what are you looking for? To date casually? Or a long term relationship? You need to answer that before puting yourself out there......

     

    Second, you need to stick to the mainstream dating sites like match.com or eharmony.com as they have a more rigorous screening process of their members. Subscribe to one, they are not too expensive. The no-name dating sites that are free are more than likely the "hookup" sites.....

     

    Third, you need to stay positive, and don't get your hopes up. Talk to many perspective girlfriends online, it's okay, it will take some time to find the right person for you. If they reject you, it's their loss. If you look for love, it wont happen. Love will happen when you least expect it. Don't just fall in love with a photo either, there is more substance there than a pretty face, you cannot judge a book by it's cover....

     

    Lastly, I am going to shoot down anybody that says you will never find someone worthwhile on the internet right now. It may take time, but does work. After being on the internet for almost 1-1/2 years, I met my fiance Cheri 2 years ago on match.com. She quickly became my best friend, as we have seen eachother everyday almost since we met. Now, I can say that she is the love of my life, we are inseperable. We were engaged August of last year, and our wedding is February 2014. It is not just us either, my sister-in-law met her husband on e-harmony also.

    I love the new converter Joe, truck feels faster and has normal street manners, you can definitely feel a difference though. Brad, I was going to have it dynoed in the next week or so, but had a monetary setback the other day. I had to trade my war wagon '03 Tahoe in due to some expensive forthcoming mechanical issues. She served me well, 125k, but it was time to upgrade. After spending over $6k to keep her on the road last year(t-case, rear diff, 4 wheel brake job, tires, water pump, tensioners), the rear main seal sprung a leak, a cat started to go out(intermittent P0430 code), and the trans began to slip occasionally. I traded her in to avoid the impending doom, and picked up an immaculate GM Certified '09 Tahoe 1LT with 40k on the clock yesterday. I will post pictures in the next day or so......
