Good price. I returned the kit because I went a different route

Quality lifters & camshaft.

Everything works great so far. I have got around 500 miles on it since installing. I soaked my lifters. I oiled up the camshaft and primed the system until oil was coming out of every rocker. I did buy new trunion rockers and pushrods too. Engine is running smoothly.

Delete AFM.
Restore the V8.

A complete mechanical AFM/DOD delete system for 2005–2014 Chevy & GMC 5.3L Gen IV V8s—replacing failure-prone active lifters with a reliable non-AFM valvetrain and renewing critical engine components.

AFM lifters frequently collapse, causing ticks, misfires, and cam damage. A mechanical delete permanently fixes this with a reliable, standard valvetrain.

Teardown exposes the cam, lifters, timing, oil, and cooling systems. Replacing them together saves you from paying double labor later.

A custom ECU tune is strictly required to disable AFM electronically. Always verify your engine RPO and cam bolt style before ordering.

Fitment check Fits compatible 2005–2014 GM 5.3L Gen IV V8s with AFM/DOD. Uses a 1-bolt cam and equal-length head bolts.

Understand the failure. Follow the fix.

See why a proper AFM delete requires more than just a lifter replacement.

01

Ticking is the warning—not the repair.

A collapsed AFM lifter reduces valve lift, triggers misfires, and destroys the camshaft lobe.
