The cylinder thingy is “AFM” Active Fuel Management
how it works is, a sensor recognizes oil pressure and activates a solenoid that allows oil to flow to the AFM Lifter with disengages the pushrod. Therefore that cylinder will not receive fuel/air mix, and the sensor tell the ignition not to fire sed cylinder and as the oil pressure increases from the demand of the driver, it deactivates and returns to normal operation
Which leads me to this:
Getting a AFM disabler is-not going to fix your issue (If there is damage to the lifters already) the disabler will not allow oil to the AFM lifter, if it is already bad and receives no oil then......... failure is impotent
But to the Ford vs Chevy comment
I own a original 1963 Chevy Stepside with the original never rebuilt 350 on 8” of lift with 37”s
A 2003 yukon with 278,000 miles changed alternator once
A 2012 Tahoe on 35”s
Owned one ford:
2011 Ford Edge
Went thru two ECU’s the first 30,000miles and after 100,000 couldnt keep #1 or #3 spark plug in it
Ford=Trash
Chevy=Real Men
Lol just playing with yall little ford girls
Dont get your tampoon strings in a bunch
