Dont the newer GMC's just drop down to 4CL when idling to help fuel economy without actually shutting the engine off?


Worst fricking gimmick ever!! A short google search will lead you to LOTS of complaints ranging from a myriad of major repairs at the hands of GM's Active Fuel Management.

I have had mine turned off for a while now and I am averaging around 1 gallon less per mile than what I was getting with the AFM on.

I have an F150 and it's the only thing I dislike about it. You get used to pushing the button though. My muscle memory when I get in the truck is to put on seatbelt, reach up and press button.

I thought you had money, baw? You're supposed to be the king OT baller. You need a platinum F-350 diesel for maximum truck nuttage. They don't do that puss on/off BS.

While we’re on the subject of permanently disabling something, how do I permanently disable whatever keeps automatically playing music from my phone when I hit the Bluetooth button on the dash?







And dear lord of tech, please make manufacturers stop having radio come on when start up.

Here is a site where they sell a new factory switch that disables it permanently.

The opposite of that. If I want to watch something on YouTube or listen to literally any other type of media, the fricking iPod kicks on and starts playing music and cuts off what I was trying to play.
