I have a 2012 1500 LT 4x4. I hate the variable cylinder crap. I don’t drive in the city much but every time I let off the gas even on the highway it goes through the variable cylinder crap. We towed a trailer that weighed about 6000 lbs from NH to AK when it was a year old. It only has 46,000 miles and we drive it less than 3,000 miles a year now. I.d have to live to be over 100 to get to 150,000 miles so I guess I’ll keep it.

In automatic Corvettes, the engine will drop down into "V4" mode whenever it wants to do so. Plugging in the Range AFM device prevents this from happening. Going into V4 mode only saves about 1 mile per gallon, so it is not worth it to potentially damage your engine to save a few pints of fuel on a long trip.

The L83 engine you’re talking about is actually a pretty good engine, all things considered. It’s a pushrod engine based on a proven design. The AFM on 2014-2018 engines is V8 or V4 (no V6). Yes the lifters can fail, but this is completely attributable to poor oil and long oil change intervals. This generation has been on the market for 10 years; frequent oil changes with quality synthetic oil is the key. As for the transmission, the 6 speed is pretty good, just keep up with flushes of the torque converter per the maintenance schedule. Yes, the 8 speed is very problematic; it requires frequent flushes with updated fluid and usually also at least one rebuild of the transmission. We own two the these, both with the 6 speed transmission. One has 350,000 km, the other has 210,000 km. Not a single issue and they’ve only ever had regular oil, filter, and fluid changes. Yes they’ve got their issues, but I’d take a GM anyday over a whimpy Ford, or a Ram death wobble, or a guzzling Tundra with crap payload…

Works great and all you have to do is pull it out of ODB port and it is stock again with no record on computer that you used the deactivation device. This makes transmission shift better because when it goes into v4 mode the transmission is shifting also and hunting for gears. Mine runs great and smoothly. Also I like the way it runs when in trailer mode. It holds lower gears longer and doesn’t shift as much.

I've read that GMs 4.8L V8, which they discontinued years ago, is very similar to the 5.3L. The only difference, besides displacement, is that the 4.8L did not have cylinder deactivation. Hence, the 4.8L had a better quality rating at the time.

Hello Scotty! I bought a Chev Avalanche new in 2011. At first I was amused by the AFM system but just after a few days it really became annoying. The jitter from 4 to 8 cylinders quickly became a thorn in my side. I then realized that driving the truck in Manual Mode and keeping the transmission in 5th gear (not selecting 6th), AFM would not engage. Therefore I have been using the truck like that ever since. The difference in RPM at highway speeds is about 300-500 RPM's higher from using 5th instead of 6th. So far so good as I really believe the extra RPM's shouldn't do any real harm. Anyhow, love your channel and keep up the great work. Blessings and Cheers!

Scotty, I took my GMC diesel canyon in 3 times. Has the 6 speed. They said no problems. I finally got tired of the jerking and clunking. Same mileage, 35k. I dropped the pan. Full of metal shavings. Fluid from GM looked weird. Cleaned the magnet and pan. Put in new filter. Put in mobile blue label. Shifts like a dream now. Don't feel a thing. The problem is they don't have mechanics, they have computer nerds. My diffs had too much fluid, transfer case didn't have enough and had same weird color to it. Not trying to knock your diagnosis but this immediately fixed my issue and mine was so bad that people riding with me thought I was in 4 wheel drive. They couldn't believe a new truck with less than 35k in miles drove like a old beater truck.

Have the cylinder deactivation on my 2012 Honda Accord V6. There is a guy up in Canada who sells a S-VCM that essentailly eliminates the 6 to 3 cylinder deactivation system. I purchased the car at 57k and the spark plugs were oil fouled from this system. I immediately put the "muzzler" on the VCM system (what honda calls cylinder deactivation) and it has been running great since. Full power in that great honda 3.5L V6. Tons of power. No more bucking of the engine in and out of VCM mode and also no more breaking the costly motor mounts.

The 2004-07 Honda Accord hybrid has the same concept, the v6 has a 'hybrid mode' where half the cylinders deactivate, very useful on the highway where you're at a consistent speed most the time but when you're at a stop light or city driving, hybrid mode turns on and for whatever reason you decide to floor it, pray your spark plugs don't fall threw. Would've been my favorite hybrid only if there wasn't huge cables all over the engine bay, making it almost impossible to change spark plugs on the inside cylinders, and if there was also a button to turn hybrid mode on and off. Wouldve been the best but no.

My work has a 2014 Sierra that did local parts deliveries. "Did" because the transmission is bad in it. It's the 6 speed, and it has something like 210,000 miles. I personally added 135,000 of them. It had done that shudder for as long as I can remember, I feel like it's the cylinder deactivation shutting off right as the transmission is demanding power. It never did it when not in "fuel management" mode. Honestly, it's been a great truck for us and getting 200k+ out of a transmission that's worked as hard as ours hauling semi truck parts and never having been serviced is pretty good if you ask me. It may have lasted longer but it leaked fluid for probably a couple years and we didn't know. It would make a scraping noise and shift hard when cold, it did it for months and finally got bad enough that I thought "I wonder if it has any fluid", pulled the dipstick out, and it was 2 qts low. We topped it up, but that was the beginning of the end and now it won't move at all. Poor thing's been on our "wall of shame" for a few months now...

I now drive a '98 F-150 with the 4.6 V8 and 4 spd automatic that I bought for cash with the difference between what I got and what I owed on the Sierra. It is a far better truck even with all it's warts after 26 years, than that Sierra. Which by it's 26 birthday will likely be parked permanently somewhere.
