I agree! I typically have the frame of mind if it is not broke don’t fix it, which included the VCM. But then around 90,000 miles the VCM did start acting up, but it would not throw any codes so the dealer was unable to determine how to fix it. So I installed the S-VCM, which did stop the symptoms. Then recently the S-VCM itself started acting up and the manufacturer sent a replacement of which I still need to install.

Thanks for sharing your input. How did you notice that your S-VCM is acting up? Did you suddenly notice vibrations? Thanks in advance!

VCM Tuner 2 is the best option when I researched this topic.

S-VCM is similar, but I've heard it's not manufactured as well.

I wouldn't consider anything other than either of those options.

you can still get the S-VCM from this website: svcmcontroller.com

I’m running the VCM TUNER 2 on my ‘25 RL BE, a safe and reliable mod IMO. The experience I’ve had building balanced hi-po Ford small blocks is why my V6 is never going to be a 3 cylinder. The wear on crank and rod bearings is not worth saving a few ounces of gas. My gas mileage has remained exactly the same with the VCM disabled.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Where did you get VCM Tuner 2? Is it the same concept as the S-VCM where it connects to the battery? Thanks in advance!

Hello Ridgeowners, just wanted to ask if anyone experience battery drain or dead battery or any issues after installing the S-VCM from svcmcontroller.com? Thanks in advance!
