Programmer chips

So I have a 2016 6.2L Silverado and I’ve had enough of the V8 to V4 feature and I want to delete it, as well as, increase my HP and fuel efficiency. Anyone have suggestions or recommendations?

I highly recommend a black bear tune!   It will do all those things and make your throttle pedal much more responsive.  Also since you have a 2016 they can reprogram your transmission.  It got rid of all sluggishness and harsh shifts.  It's amazing.

There isn't a magic wand we can wave to increase fuel mileage. 95% of that comes down to your right foot. Plus you are wanting to remove DoD which helps with mileage at certain speeds.

I got this on sale for around $225 from autoanything.com, regular $499.  They had a sale going on I said what the heck.  It does everything I want it to do except reprogram the transmission.  It does allow you to set the transmission into sport or performance mode. Eventually I will take it to a performance shop and have them reprogram the whole truck,  transmission in all with HP Tuners program.

Range makes a bypass module that plugs right into your OBD port under the dash. All it does is makes it so your truck doesn't go into V4 mode. Keeps it in V8. Plug it in and let it go. It will not help your fuel mileage but makes a truck run as it should. Full V8.
