V-4/V-8 can it be defeated.
Just took possession of a new C-7 Z-51 with 8 spd. auto. This feature is driving me nuts... When under hard acceleration the 8 spd shifts quicker than the engine can transition to V-8, causing a noticeable stumble and lurch. Using the cruise control its hardly noticeable, but with normal driving in hill country its very noticeable. Can this feature be defeated with an automatic.?????

I have a M7 and have noted something simular except I get a light bump and once when I hit it hard a big bang. I now only put it in Econo when just crusing on the open highway and want the better MPG.

Range AFM disabler. Simply plugs into the OBDII port, no reprogramming and absolutely no possibility of affecting warranty. (the jury is still out on Diablo IMHO, they claim no trace left behind but there are just as many out there who claim GM can detect it with deeper forensics)

Good morning Sonny, your Displacement on Demand system SHOULD be eliminated mechanically not just covered up with a tune. Tuning only does not stop the car from attempting to engage DOD. We have a kit that consists of:
