Hey All, just wanted to report on my experience with using the AFM Disabler. I've been using it for about 6 months now, and have been very pleased with it. I drive mostly city and average 14.0-14.5 mpg. I did not detect a noticeable change in mpg after I installed the device. The accelerator response is greatly improved, and no more annoying switching between V4 and V8.
There is one issue I wanted to share though. I leave it plugged in all the time, and after a month or so it sometimes stops working and the vehicle reverts back to switching in and out of V4. The blue lights on the module still light up as if it's functioning normally, but it does not keep the engine in V8 mode. The fix for this is simply resetting the unit by unplugging/reinstalling the module. I emailed Range about this and their response was: "While in use with some vehicles, the module's timing command loop ?runs out? (for lack of a better term) and needs to be reset". They confirmed that I had the most updated firmware, but offered to exchange the unit if I wanted. I decided that wasn't necessary, and now I just remember to reset it every time I fill up with gas.
That's it, just wanted to let others know since I hadn't seen this issue mentioned in any of the Range threads.
