Fuel disable device

Hello folks, I am new and want to know what or which disabling device I should buy for my C7 LT2 Grand Sport. I understand that at times the current active fuel management system can create issues with valves that may lead to severe damage so I wish to disable it with the RIGHT PRODUCT. Appreciate input ASAP as my VETTE is nearing 20K. Thanks

Range Technologies AFM disabler. Plugs into the OBDII port. I installed one in our `19 Corvette when new, 9500 miles and no issues with AFM valves or transmission shudder.

Yes, get the Range Technologies AFM Disabler - plug and play and keeps the car from going into V4 mode.

In fairness - the vast majority of people never experience problems with their A8 transmissions....

The problem is with the variable displacement/cylinder deactivation system, not the A8.

Thanks for the info. I just searched for this, as I know my Dad's Z51 has to go in for the Trans service. I will be getting one for my 19 Grand Sport, too.

Check the for sale section on this forum.

The range was one of my first purchases for my '19.

I've since had AFM tuned out and sold the Range at a decent discount here.
