How To Shut Off Cylinder Deactivation - 2023 Ford F150

[@tviperjester3978]

You can put it in manual mode and it will disable CD, I typically do that on the hwy since you are not changing gears all that much. That’s funny to hear you say about the 4H being annoying every time you pop it in sport mode, totally agree. I hate always having to switch it back, seems like unnecessary wear, the older gen’s defaulted to 2H. Has no one figured out how to disable CD in normal mode with forscan?

[@9skaterguy]

People buy v8s for a reason, if they want a four cylinder truck… guess what they make them. Stop messing up v8 engine with this crap.

[@JT012]

Government mandates require cylinder deactivation on all V8s.

[@martinlebreton6391]

The government knows better what you want. Just be grateful they still allow you to purchace a v8 truck for a premium. 🤡

[@jamesgirdley7994]

I know right got a f150 5.0 and it nuts

[@RottenAnimal]

Engineers said when cylinders are deactivated, they cool down compared to the active cylinders. Part of the engine being hotter and cooler can cause warping in the block. It might leak coolant or might have head gasket damage. Just what I heard.

[@19jody72]

Makes sense to me

[@rogerobrien8367]

Gen 3 coyote engines don't have cylinder sleeves. They burn excessive engine oil. No secret to that problem. They can keep making excuses trying to normalize problem.

[@scottsmith31]

These engines have been out over 3 years now…. I challenge you to find one documented issue with CD

[@ditchcati]

Auto stop stays off in Eco mode as I drive Eco about 75% of the time. Just over 5000 miles and since new I average 20.8 mpg based on the truck computer. Eco mode is good for me because I mostly drive 250 miles per week for work in traffic. If I want to go faster or have more responsiveness I put it in Normal or very occasionally Sport.

[@ItIsColdHere]

I have a 2023 F150 V8 too. How did you get the dual digital displays for rpm and mph to appear? I like it!

[@JoaquinGonzalez-sq8qc]

What trim do you have?

[@clay3129]

So is it perfectly fine to drive tow/haul or sport mode 24/7?

[@Itsjustacoyotee]

Yup, it won't hurt anything

[@is6566]

I have a 2018 F150 V8, I ALWAYS drive it in Sport mode because that is more fun and turns off the Stop-Start feature that i don’t like. I was doing this since day 1. I have 84,000 miles on the truck.

[@is6566]

No CD on the 2018, yet.

[@ZachClynes]

You should get a J&L catch can. I have one on my 5.0 and it’s definitely worth it

[@MiguelReyna-cg7ds]

I have it on my 24’ 5.0 and it still drones in CD.

[@Chubbydippin]

In 2024 now, are there any cylinder deactivation tunings that "don't" cause warranty issues?

[@yogie3235]

Base on what I'm experiencing with my 2021 f150 with 5.0. The cylinder deactivation causes this very slight vibration. Now at 76,000 miles my rear main seal failed. I have never had a rear main seal fail at this milage .

[@josipdolic6391]

I knew that will shut it off But how’s shifting in tow?

[@Itsjustacoyotee]

I came from tuned diesel trucks.. so to me it feels like a nice firmer shift, much like a tuned truck would shift, which I like. In my opinion the truck is much more fun to drive in either tow haul or sport mode.. and to me both modes feel fairly identical. It holds gears better, and shifts a little higher too which I like because the truck feels more responsive rather than lugging it everywhere to try to save a tiny bit of fuel mileage.

[@michaelwdagle7410]

The belt driven oil pump on the newer 5.0 concerns me.

[@Itsjustacoyotee]

That's why idk if I wanna void the warranty on it yet lol

[@Trevormaffetone]

@@Itsjustacoyotee GM 3.0 diesel just raised the mileage interval on their belt driven oil pump to 200k and there a new post with a 2019 2.7 with belt in oil oil pump that has 550k with no issues with belt

[@michaelross8036]

From what I understand, Sport mode will basically go in 4H only when it senses wheel slip. Therefore it acts as 4wdAuto.

[@williamfeldner9356]

Put it in tow/ haul or sport mode and it shuts off cylinder deactivation

[@scottyeik]

I dream of the day I can get a tuner and rid myself of CD in my 22.

[@mikewolfskhal8782]

4 auto doesn’t mean you are driving all 4. the only time it will kick on all four is when it detects traction loss. Otherwise you’re basically in 2wd

[@excelerater]

The aftermarket needs to come to the rescue ,auto stop start and cyl deactivation need to be GONE

[@Gen14_5.0]

Just switch the truck over to sport mode or really all you have to do is stick your foot in the throttle a little and once you get into a higher rev range I’m sure the other cylinders will decide to start firing again

[@rbspace454]

Unplug the trailer harness under the dash.

[@bradhodgkinson7996]

Cylinder Deactivation is a joke . Pay big money for vehicle's and assholes come up with stupid ideas that keep us coming back to dealerships for fixes , or they will take your money when you buy something else. They will keep us poor.!!!@

Blame the government ford did not want to do it but theirs is better then Chevys.

I was shopping for a new CX-5, when I heard about CDA, it sounds like the dumbest thing ever. It's harder than ever to buy a vehicle now, I won't but CDA, CVT or a turbo, wish me luck.

[@Rosso488]

Huh interesting mine doesn’t have this feature.

[@motormouth2472]

They started in 2021. Maybe you have an older model?

[@Rosso488]

@@motormouth2472 😂. No I just don't have a V8. You're right though the 21 and newer 5.0 has this system and I hate it and that is why I went with the 2.7. However the newer 2.7s have a belt driven oil pump and that scares me even more than cylinder deactivation. Especially with the recent recall of the Ecosport and Focus belt driven oil pump.

[@Rosso488]

NVM. I just looked up the specs on the 5.0 and yet it also has a belt driven oil pump. Well I might just trade it in for a Tundra after all.

[@motormouth2472]

@@Rosso488 oh okay hahaha. And yeah I heard about that belt driven oil pump in those engines, I find it concerning too. I've heard the '21-present 5.0's also have the belt driven oil pump. If you ask me, the cylinder deactivation, and belt driven oil pumps will partially undue the 5.0 V8. These engines were supposed to be simple and reliable, and I can't think of how these "features" would help longevity

[@BeleagueredCastle-hk2vv]

In aviation mechanical problems have greater consequences which creates a different lens to look through. In early development of the OH-58D psychotic version of a Bell Jet Ranger, tail boom cracks were discovered just forward of the tail rotor due to vibrations outside design tolerances. The higher RPM of the tail rotor required to counteract the upgraded 4-blade soft-in-plane rotor system created those vibrations and cracks. The Solution: install a certain plate over the area with proper and sufficient riveting. The Result: Vibrations propagated up the tail boom to cause cracks in the oil cooler deck. The moral of the story is doing this non-standard task is nothing more than trading one point of failure for another.

[@greghorn7650]

Sorry but the cylinder deactivation does not save any fuel as a matter of fact the v-8 without it gets better fuel mileage about 2 mpg better

[@19jody72]

Simply unplug it from the battery.. there is a 2 wire plug..just unplug it. My 23 has this plug. EDIT: After watching the rest of the video, that's crazy your 23 doesn't work. I seen a video about this.and I guess I need to make sure it dis actually work on my 23 since you said it doesn't on yours
