Ohio FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from Ohio.

How long does shipping take from Ohio to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Columbus, OH reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2 business days. USPS Priority routes northeast through the Central network; typically 2 days. We start work the same day your module arrives and ship back next business day at the return speed you chose at checkout.

Do you accept gm afm / dod / dfm disable programming modules from Ohio?
Yes — we receive modules from Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and the rest of Ohio regularly. With about 9.5 million registered vehicles statewide, trucks, SUVs & imports are the bulk of what we see from Ohio.
Is there a gm afm / dod / dfm disable programming shop in Columbus I should use instead?
Most Columbus shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm afm / dod / dfm disable programming — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region northeast — about 2 days each way.
Does Ohio vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Ohio requires emissions testing (E-Check) only in the seven-county Cleveland-Akron area; the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Ohio and federal requirements.
Do I need to remove the engine heads?
Not for a software disable only. Removing the heads is normally part of a mechanical AFM delete or a lifter replacement job, not the programming step.
Will this fix a bad lifter?
No. Programming cannot repair a collapsed lifter, worn camshaft, bent pushrod, oil pressure issue, or mechanical engine noise. Those must be repaired mechanically. Disabling AFM in software does not undo damage that has already happened.
