Does anybody have any inside info for next years silveraldo. Such as more hp, or any other options that it would be worth waiting for or should I just get a 2005 model year.

Should have 6-Speed Automatic, V-8's will have Direct Fuel Injection, 3-valve heads and Displacement on Demand. This is all I have.

If its a 6 speed auto, would 4th be the 1:1 ratio?

BBSilverado · January 12, 2005

what is Displacement on Demand?

Yes 4th will be a 1:1 ratio, first may be 3.27:1 and 2 overdrives, but those ratios are unconfirmed.

D-o-D is a condition where the computer shuts off 4 un-used cyclinders to conserve fuel.

Displacement on Demand is GM's system for shutting down four of the cylinders during times of low engine demand, such as when cruising with light throttle or decellerating. Its been in the works for awhile, I remember reading about it in popular science a few years ago. Here is a link to a pretty good article that I found using Google.

All in all sounds like it will improve fuel economy without killing the power.

Displacement-On-Demand: who'd a thunk the "4-6-8" would make a comeback 20 years later....

Roostman · January 12, 2005

Im not so sure I like the DoD. Im wondering what kind of lag if any youll get when cruising at 65 and you floor it. Time will tell.

sky-raptor · January 12, 2005

Off-topic, but in mid 2006 (right before the new models come out) how much of a discount would GM do on the current models?

I am thinking of getting a GM SUV or a truck and I do not know if I want to lease it or buy it ... depending on the discount.

Thanks

D O D is supposed to return to normal before the next cylinder fires. It is supposed to be near undetectable. I saw a short "road test" think I even came into it late.
