Default V4

When running in the Econ mode (V4 or cylinder deactivation) is it the same 4 cylinders that are deactivated each time it engages?

Active Fuel Management (AFM), which shuts down the LT1’s firing cylinders from eight to four by disabling the valves to the cylinders. When AFM initiates, the engine turns the 6.2L V8 into a 3.1L V4, shutting down cylinders 1, 4, 6 and 7, and firing only cylinders 8, 2, 5 and 3 in that order.

Otherwise, the complete firing order is 1, 8, 7, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3.



2, 4, 6, 8, Passenger side from front to rear.
1, 3, 5, 7, Driver's side from front to rear

In the immortal words of post #2, "Yep".

All,

I have a Range device for sale. Newest version - works great. I don't need anymore since I removed V4 mode with HP tune.
Asking $150.00 - Private message me if interested.

Sorry if this isn't the right venue to post.
