I guess MPG. Everything is for MPG now, even the piston rings fit looser in the cylinder, you get oil leaking thru, if you're lucky you don't get fuel leaking the other way into the oil, but all to reduce friction and eke out a little more MPG. There should be an aftermarket beefier alternator. Does this exist? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84235510 There should be an aftermarket beefier alternator. Does this exist? The issue is with stop and go driving. The vehicle shuts off and restarts at every traggic light, so it continually discharges unless you can get on a highway and drive it long enough to recharge. Not my truck. I have an older GMC Sierra with none of that modern crap on it. Last Edited by JustmeTX on 11/27/2022 04:47 AM Justme |

There is an override pushbutton to disable it but it resets after you turn the car off. There is an aftermarket diagnostic port module that can make the pushbutton remember to not keep shutting the car off. This is obviously a step towards forcing people into not wanting a gas vehicle as only a retarded person would design something as worthless as this. Annoying as fuck and that can't be good on the motor starting and stopping so many times. |

Brilliant! costs no money. You just get a nearly dead battery. Make it go dead a few times while driving. This ratchets up an event counter which then disables the "feature". Then you put a good battery back on the vehicle and DO NOT RESET THE BMS FEATURE) . He says all the aftermarket devices will also end up screwing up a bunch of other truck operations that you probably want to keep. (like remote door lock function etc).

Amazing improvement in power and drive-ability. Then after a few months, the engine stumbled a couple times at a light, so I decided to change the spark plugs. No more stumbles and yet another improvement in power. Not sure why, but I'm not complaining. Ridiculous acceleration. I think I lost 1 mpg on average. If the engine lasts twice as long, it was well worth it. Luckily, my GMC Sierra was the year before they added the variable cylinder crap feature. Awesome truck.
