      Hello everyone,
      A shop recently told me I have “common problem” of worn cam lobes and/or lifter rollers due to the AFM design on my 2018 Express cargo 6.0 with 58k miles.
      I did a VIN verifier search, which said my motor is the L96.
      I’ve read in several places the L96 does not have AFM, but also read the L96 was only used up to 2017.
      Does anyone have a definitive source for verifying 1) what motor I have and 2) does it have AFM or not

      Give the last 8 of your VIN and I’ll take look.

      Thank you
      So AFM is an active lifter?

      AFM is Active Fuel Management which used a solenoid to deactivate the lifters on select cylinders of the engine. Yours has standard lifters so no AFM.
