I’ve been down this road myself with my Chev. The first thing to do is get a Range Technologies device to disable the AFM. Others talk about this being in the hundreds of dollars but I managed to find a used one that works fine for $40.

If you do end up with a stuck lifter, keep one of these links handy... quite interesting as a fellow has a way of getting them ‘unstuck’ without an engine teardown.

Another link to keep handy....
https://www.lt1swap.com/afm_delete.htm This is the website of a smart dude in Missouri who programs ECMs to disable the AFM and does so quite inexpensively....

Best of luck with this.

Thank you. I did see that video a couple weeks ago. I figure that’s a temporary fix and since I run a business out of my vehicle I’m going to replace everything and start fresh with a little more hp and a throatier sound coming out of my HDMI exhaust system.
