The only real problem people here have with dropping to v4 mode is sound related when they have removed the afm valves. Everything else is psychosomatic. It works fine and only works when you aren't driving sporty and it does improve mileage over time.
I've had numerous trips ( both directions) where I've been over 40mpg both ways and I'm doing about 80mph. The transmission is probably more responsible for that than the engine... But you will see a few mpg due to afm. Anywhere from 0 to 7 from what I've seen on the v6 over the past 4+ years. The v8 is more drastic so maybe they get more but they have more rotating and static weight |

Sure on long highway trips you notice better MPGs, mixed daily driving much less so and all city driving hardly at all. I live 6 miles from work all city streets and averaged 18 MPG prior to modding, 17 MPG average now.

My 2018 Suburbans have it and my 2011 Denali had it. I can't feel it when it engages or disengages. In TX, we have lots of highway driving so it doesn't kick on, but above 70 it is more rare. My SS is a manual.

Do the manual cars have the V8 icon? You would think they would have taken out the V8 icon since it doesn't make sense to put it in there if its just going to stay on V8 all the time? You know you have a V8?

The only reason they have it is government mandated gas mileage regs.

All 8 cylinders are running 100% of the time (as it should be) in manuals. No need for my car to tell me |

Difference is we can eliminate CAGS for $15 and 5 minutes under the car. Can’t eliminate the variable cylinder management for $15 can ya? Lol |

There are a number of variables like trim level, specific dash configuration, and which screen you're viewing in addition to there possibly being some differences between model years. On mine (2020 2SS, 6MT), as one example, it always shows "V8" when viewing the trip odometer using the standard instrument configuration. |

A10 SS has it. My 2011 had it as well. I've never had an issue with it. Cant tell it kicking in or out even watching the cluster change.

I have it and I think it's a great feature. I never notice it when it switches from V8 to V4 and back. I don't see why people want to deactivate it.
