DOD delete kit install

So are you doing engine work are just installing the kit? If it is just the DOD kit:

ECM tune / programming
Absolutely required to turn off DOD/AFM in the ECU after hardware delete. Otherwise it will try to command AFM and damage the engine.

Fresh oil & filter + break-in oil
To protect new lifters/cam.

Coolant flush & thermostat (optional) Good time to do general maintenance with the engine drained.

If you are doing engine work I would check the camshaft lobes and lifters, is the engine making noise? If so can you please upload a short video of the engine running from under the hood? That way I can tell what is wrong.

Hi Ken you're actually the one who helped me identify the issue for the lifter failure due to the afm/dod system. Will be ordering my dod delete kit soon and like I said previously is there anything else I should replace while doing so? It's been a few weeks since asking about it in a different question and you said it would be a good idea to go this route

Yep, that sounds right. So you will need to take the engine apart for inspection and then go from there, you might need a new camshaft FYI. If the engine has 247k on it you might want to think about a rebuilt unit. Here is a video series that can help
