Short answer

For most Silverado & Sierra2022.5–2026 owners: Range Technology RA007 DFM Disabler, or BOOST DFM Disabler (Global B) on a budget: CheerCode AFM DFM Disabler (V6/V8). Check your engine and transmission in the table first.

  • The 2022 refresh (new interior, big screen) moved to GM's "Global B" electronics with a secured gateway. Old-style disablers don't work: you need a module built for it.
  • How to tell a 2022 refresh: the 12th character of the VIN is 5 or higher.
  • The L87 6.2L engine recall (25V-274, about 600,000 vehicles) is about crankshaft and connecting-rod bearings, not lifters. A disabler has nothing to do with it.

Limits & caveats

  • Unplug the module before any GM over-the-air update or dealer software update.
  • California: the Range RA007 has a CARB Executive Order (D-115-32) for 2021–2024 models, so it is 50-state legal on this vehicle. The other disablers listed have none and are not legal on California-registered vehicles.
  • Plug-in disablers draw a little current with the engine off. If the vehicle will sit for a week or more, unplug it or use a model with a switch.
  • Some 2024–2026 owners report that cylinder deactivation still kicks in with a module plugged in. Keep the receipt and test it in the return window.
  • California: none of the disablers listed for this vehicle has a CARB Executive Order, so they are not legal on California-registered vehicles. States with OBD-based inspections may also flag a vehicle while one is plugged in.

Where it plugs in

Not every Global B module goes in the same place. The Range RA007 connects inline at the engine computer under the hood (two factory connectors), not at the OBD-II port; follow the maker's instructions. Other modules use the OBD-II port: under the dash, left of the steering column, above the driver's knee.

Questions owners ask

Does the Silverado & Sierra 2022.5–2026 have AFM or DFM?

5.3L V8 (L84, 2022.5–2026): DFM. 6.2L V8 (L87, 2022.5–2026): DFM. 2.7L TurboMax 4-cyl: none. 3.0L Duramax diesel: none.

Where is the OBD-II port?

Under the dash, left of the steering column, above the driver's knee.

Will a cheap $40–70 disabler work?

No. Those are built for the older electronics. Since the switch to Global B, only dedicated modules such as the Range RA007 and BOOST DFM are sold for these vehicles.
