MikeNHGM's Active Fuel Management and Engine Tuning
I had it turned off using a Black Bear tune on my 2011 Silverado. That also made it require premium gas or E85 (which was readily available in Michigan). Truck was a beast with that tune. The AFM was annoying and worse is the terrible, laggy throttle and sloppy shifts that GM allowed. The tune fixed all that. When I went to trade it (the first time it was flashed back to stock), it seemed like something was broken.

ubelongoutsideI just sold my '09 GMC Sierra and it had pretty bad oil consumption from the AFM. At least that's the only factor I could attribute it to.
I was using about 1 quart every 2000 miles or so. I looked into an ODB2 module that turned off the AFM, and could be removed when taken to the dealer with no record of the change apparent. I never pursued it as the truck was already at 150k miles.
My brother had sent me a link to it. I'll see if I still have it.
