I guess GM doesn't care what people want. General Motors is introducing two new naturally aspirated Gen 6 Small Block V8 engines for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the 2027 GMC Sierra 1500. However both the new 5.7-liter V8 (L76) and 6.6-liter V8 (L78) will continue to use GM's Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) system. This that cylinder deactivation system that many people hate as its been very problematic in the past. Many owners of trucks that have that system have paid extra to have it deactivated. It uses the ECU to monitor load and throttle inputs to run the engine on as few as two cylinders or as many as all eight. It automatically shuts down individual cylinders during light cruising or low-speed operation, and re-engages them as power demands increase. (when it doesn't malfunction) Previous ones have had long-term reliability concerns over collapse prone valve lifters and associated pushrod wear. And to rub more salt into that wound, GM is removing the traditional engine oil dipstick and replacing it with an electronic oil monitoring sensor. That has already generated bad feelings from prospective shoppers hoping for a back-to-basics approach after the numerous issues faced by GM's fifth-gen small-block V8s. How about making a simple truck with a basic engine and leave the dipstick alone GM
