I've been using a disabler (just another brand and cheaper than the Range) on my 23' V6 Blazer and just the piece of mind keeping all 6 cylinders going and not deactivating them for whatever reason is worth it to me. Plus I've heard it can also prolong lifter failures and the engine burning oil eventually. Changing oil every 5k miles helps as well.
@limitedslipautomotive10 ай бұрын
That is exactly my logic. Nothing has been proven with these, but it seems like eliminating the use of a system that causes lifter failure and oil consumption has to be a positive.
@DJAJ10110 ай бұрын
@@limitedslipautomotive No question about that! $100 for a disabler now is still way cheaper than new lifters and having to keep an eye on your oil level like a hawk in the future!

Did this a week ago. I bought a v8 not a 4 or 6 cylinder. Now it’s a v8. Noticed the issue once I swapped out the exhaust. Wanted to get a pulsar LT but didn’t want to down over 500 and one shot. Maybe eventually definitely worth it down the road for all the features you get including DFM delete
