DOD AFM Disabled Kit With Camshaft Lifters For 5.3 Truck SUV Engine

The product in question has received mixed feedback from customers who have used the cam kit for engine builds. Overall, the kit is appreciated for its comprehensive inclusion of components essential for enhancing engine performance by eliminating issues related to Active Fuel Management (AFM) and dodgy lifters. Many users have noted that once the vehicle received the appropriate reprogramming, it performed exceptionally well, often better than before the installation of the kit. However, there are significant drawbacks that cannot be overlooked. Several reviewers reported that the kit was missing critical components, such as an essential orange gasket, hindering the completion of their engine builds. The quality of some parts has also drawn criticism, with some users comparing the lifter valley plate and other components to basic aftermarket options. Furthermore, concerns about the absence of vital items like the oil pump and timing chain set in the kit were highlighted, implying that these should ideally be included for a more efficient rebuild, especially in vehicles with high mileage. There are also reports of complications post-installation, particularly misfires in certain cylinders, leading to increased frustrations and unexpected costs. In summary, the cam kit can be a valuable option for those with a reliable short block engine and the ability to invest additional time and resources into the rebuild process. However, potential buyers should be prepared for possible shortcomings in component quality and completeness. **
