If it was between an Expedition and Suburban…

Which would you choose (years 2008-2014)? Im familiar with the tritons. Worked on many 2v’s. Phasers and followers dont bother me. I know what Im getting with that. What I dont know about is Gm’s AFM. I really dont want to deal with that. But the only reason Im considering it is a friend of a friend has a suburban hes selling. We havent talked numbers yet but he said I could probably get it pretty cheap. So if you did all your own maintenance, which one would you choose? Both manufacturers have problems. Which problems would you want?

Ford begrudgingly, but I think I’d rather have a Toyota Sequoia.

To start.. I bleed ford blue. With that being said, I bought a 2010’ Silverado with the AFM motor not knowing what I was doing. Learned about them real quick after the fact. Bought it new. Somewhere around 40k it lost 2 cylinders. Warranty..in the shop for 6 weeks. When I got it back I went right over to a Ford dealership and lost my ass on a trade for a 2010 Lariat. It’s still in the family with over 230k. It needs phasers but it’s still running and cheaper to fix and keep.

Either 6.0 or 8.1 3/4 ton burb hands down.

There are several kits available to delete the AFM system

Also OBD plug-in modules to over ride that system
