it would be interesting how this would work on a diesel. the duramax has way more power and torque than needed in most driving, especially in town. and with direct injection it would be pretty easy to deactivate cylinder(s).
My 2002 Ram/Cummins had cylinder deactivation. It came with a hidden 3 cylinder idle mode that would kick in after really cold starts.
Here's a video of one in action. It kicks in at about 1:45 in the video, so I started the video link at the 1 min 30 sec mark.
VIDEOWhen it kicks in, it sounds like the Cummins has rocks bouncing around in the cylinders. :E I bet this guy's neighbors LOVE him :B
