ScottW trapper S Joined: Dec 2006 Barnum, MN	Originally Posted by will12785 That year of Silverado had the 8L90E transmission. They are known for kicking the bucket because GM said they never needed to be serviced. Thats sort of true, if your baby it and its in a car, but in a truck, especially one you tow with it needs service. I would recommend adding a transmission cooler and installing a shift kit. That will solve most all the issues it has. If not that at least have it serviced every 45000 miles with a good AC Delco filter and a fluid flush. Any AFM delete will work. A good tune is better but a bit more involved. You can also get the transmission tuned while you're at it. Aside from that always make sure to change your oil every 5000 miles! Glad this topic came up. I too have a 2019 silverado 1500 with the 5.3 and about 59K. Every now and then there’s a real delay when I shift it into gear, and it shifts in kinda hard when it does. My dad had also recently been reading about the AFM delete fob and urging me to get one. Definitely have some thinking and planning to do now as far as what route I go from here. Happy trapping!

Quite a price difference in some… Coon Duke, I called my local chevy dealership and talked to the mechanic there. He recommended the plug in unit sold at Summit. I looked it up and it list for 280. I found the same unit on the walmart site for 185. It is called the Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler. I ordered one and I will let you know my results. It is suppose to arrive by the 14th.
