The truck is too gutless on the get-go, would probably be easier and better to have all 8 to get going and to cut the cylinders off as I stop accelerating.
A couple switches on the dash might be safer than climbing under the hood at speed while steering with an old broom stick.

GM calls their system Displacement on Demand... I know Honda and Chrysler and possibly others have similar systems but I don't know the acronyms for them so I call 'em all DoD.

Everything I think I know about cylinder deactivation tells me this isn't going to work, and your claims make me more than a little suspicious.

But, proceed. Just make sure to do the testing right.
