Check with the dealer. I don't think your 6.0 has AFM/DOD and they will be able to tell you for sure. My 2012 4x4 2500 Suburban HD has the 6.0 gasser and no AFM.

Johan, The original wheels on my bus were 6.50x20 and 35" in diam. The Isuzu wheels are only 30" tall so that accounts for 5" of the fender well drop. I expect that the large wheel well opening had...
