2014–2018 Silverado/Sierra L83/L86 DOD/AFM Delete (Stock Cam) — Turnkey Package
Complete DOD/AFM delete using a stock-style camshaft, quality parts, professional install, and a dialed-in custom tune.
This is the “do it once, do it right” package for daily-driven trucks.
Includes: HP Tuners credits
Parts sources: Summit / BTR / GM / Texas Speed
Options: Stage 1 (+35 hp) / Stage 2 (+50 hp)
What this package is
A full mechanical delete of the factory DOD/AFM lifter system, while keeping a stock-style camshaft for smooth drivability,
strong vacuum, and converter-friendly behavior. Then we calibrate the ECM so the truck runs correctly and cleanly with DOD/AFM removed.
What’s included (parts)
- New lifters + new lifter trays
- Camshaft (stock-style replacement)
- New head bolts + head gaskets
- New cam bolt + new cam retainer plate
- DOD/AFM block-off plugs
- Front main seal + new crank bolt
- Valve cover gaskets
- Fluids included: 8 quarts Red Line 5W-30 + 4 gallons antifreeze/coolant
No sketchy “mystery kits.”
What’s included (labor + tuning)
- Professional installation of all components listed above
- Oil + coolant refill and bleed procedure
- Custom tune to properly disable DOD/AFM functions and optimize drivability
- HP Tuners credits included (interface/device not included unless added)
- Post-install verification: startup checks, idle quality, misfire monitoring, and road-test validation
Stage upgrades (optional)
Want more than “stock feel”? You can upgrade to a cam that adds real power while we’re already in there.
| Option | Power gain (est.) | Driving feel |
|---|---|---|
| Stock Cam (base) | Baseline | Stock-like manners, smooth idle, converter-friendly |
| Stage 1 Cam Upgrade | ~ +35 hp | More midrange + top-end, still daily-driver friendly |
| Stage 2 Cam Upgrade | ~ +50 hp | Stronger power everywhere; may have a more noticeable idle depending on cam selection |
I’ll steer you to the right cam option for your goals.

Before you order (the questions I need answered)
Copy/paste this and reply:
- Year / Make / Model:
- Engine: L83 5.3 or L86 6.2
- 2WD or 4WD:
- Transmission:
- Current mileage:
- Any current codes/check engine light?
- Fuel you plan to run: 87 / 91 / 93 / E85:
- Mods (intake, headers, exhaust, cats, etc.):
- Tire size and gear ratio (if not stock):
- Do you want: Stock Cam / Stage 1 (+35 hp) / Stage 2 (+50 hp):
- Are you supplying an HP Tuners interface already? (Yes/No). If yes, which one:
Does this include everything? (parts, labor, tuning, credits)
Yes — this package includes the parts listed above, the labor to install them, the custom tuning, and the required HP Tuners credits.
If you don’t already have an HP Tuners interface/device, you can add one, or we can discuss the best option for you.
Will it still drive like stock?
With the stock-style cam (base option), the goal is stock-like drivability with DOD/AFM permanently removed.
Stage cam upgrades will change the character depending on the cam choice.
How do I get tuned (remote vs in-person)?
We can tune in-person or remotely depending on your situation. Remote tuning requires an HP Tuners interface and basic data logging.
I’ll provide clear instructions and tell you exactly what I need.
What about emissions equipment?
This package is focused on DOD/AFM hardware removal and proper calibration. Emissions requirements vary by location.
If you have emissions-related questions, tell me your state/county and your current exhaust/catalyst setup.
Product description is for informational purposes and to define scope. Final parts selection may vary slightly by availability and your specific engine configuration,
but quality level remains the same (Summit/BTR/GM/Texas Speed or equivalent). All work and tuning are performed with reliability and drivability as the priority.
