The Texas Speed LS 5.3L DOD Delete Kit with Camshaft removes the factory Active Fuel Management (AFM/DOD) system from GM Gen IV 5.3L engines in 2007 to 2013 trucks and SUVs. It is offered in a non-VVT version and a VVT version so the camshaft and hardware match the engine's valvetrain configuration, and it replaces the DOD camshaft with a TSP/GM single-bolt stock non-DOD camshaft.
The kit includes 16 GM/Delphi LS7-style lifters with LS2 lifter trays, a pair of GM 5.3L/5.7L multi-layer steel head gaskets, a TSP Gen IV head bolt kit for both heads, an OE-style L92 valley cover, a GM single cam bolt, a TSP cam retainer plate and bolt kit, a GM LS2 chain damper, exhaust manifold gaskets with 12 stainless header bolts, a wet sump balancer bolt and the timing cover gasket, front crank seal and water pump gaskets. Tuning is required after installation; the optional TSP DOD Delete Programmer covers 2007.5 to 2013 GM LS gas trucks and SUVs.

Ordering Options
Select the VVT or Non-VVT version that matches the engine. Non-VVT applies to Gen IV 5.3L engines without Variable Valve Timing and VVT applies to 5.3L engines equipped with it, so verify the valvetrain configuration before ordering. Texas Speed also offers the TSP DOD Delete Programmer as an optional add-on, with coverage for 2007.5 to 2013 GM LS gas trucks and SUVs.
Note: Tuning is required after installation to properly disable the factory AFM/DOD functionality.
Note: Verify the engine, model year, VVT or non-VVT valvetrain configuration and tuning compatibility before installation. Additional components may be required depending on the vehicle and the configuration selected.

FAQ
What vehicles does the Texas Speed 5.3L DOD Delete Kit fit?
Texas Speed lists it for 2007 to 2013 GM trucks and SUVs with the Gen IV 5.3L AFM/DOD engine, including the Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500, Tahoe and Suburban, in both VVT and non-VVT configurations.
How do I know whether to order the VVT or Non-VVT kit?
The two versions supply the camshaft and hardware for engines with or without Variable Valve Timing. Texas Speed advises verifying the VVT or non-VVT configuration of the specific engine before ordering, since the parts are not interchangeable.
What is included in the 5.3L DOD delete kit?
It includes a TSP/GM single-bolt stock non-DOD camshaft, 16 GM/Delphi LS7-style lifters, LS2 lifter trays, a pair of GM 5.3L/5.7L MLS head gaskets, a Gen IV head bolt kit, an L92 valley cover, a GM cam bolt, a cam retainer plate kit, an LS2 chain damper, exhaust manifold gaskets, 12 stainless header bolts, a balancer bolt and the timing cover gasket, front crank seal and water pump gaskets.
Is tuning required after installing this DOD delete kit?
Yes. Tuning is required after installation to disable the factory AFM/DOD functionality. Texas Speed offers its DOD Delete Programmer as an optional add-on, with coverage for 2007.5 to 2013 GM LS gas trucks and SUVs.
Does this kit include a performance camshaft?
No. The camshaft is a single-bolt stock-style non-DOD grind that restores conventional operation without AFM. Texas Speed sells its build-your-own DOD/AFM delete kit for buyers who want to pair the delete with an aftermarket camshaft.
