“I have collapsed lifters on my engine due to the afm system. It appears that even after replacing the collapsed lifter then you will have to replace one after another unless you perform an afm delete on your computer. This has cost me thousands of dollars and due to the stress of the shifting what occurs when stuck in 4cyl mode I have had to replace my transmission as well.”
