I was under the same impression---that it activates at lower speeds.Bryan, Can you sure your experience with the cylinder deactivation?
Not even sure how it works but my impression is some of cylinders do not activate at low speeds. Thanks
Under 600 miles still. Averaging 16.5 I am guessing this will continue to climb a bit. Hoping to get it closer to 18 AVG if possible.
I have seen zero signs of cylinder deactivation. No sounds or feedback feeling and also no dash indicators under any speeds.
All said and done I would buy the 5.0 again without hesitation. With 3.73 gears this thing moves. Love the sound as well. Looking forward to towing with it this summer and seeing how she does!
Higher gear probably light years better than my 3.73. If I get around 17 I wouldn’t be surprised if you got 2mpg better.I'm curious about V-8 fuel economy on highway trips and with the 3.31 rear axle.

I have 3.31 in mine
I have an easy commute, and according to my display, the mileage is creeping up daily
Hit 17.1 this morning on my way to work.
I’m expecting for it to move up to close to 18 before too long.
ive had it 3 weeks now, and one of those weeks was the “big freeze” here in Texas and I pretty much stayed home except for daily coffee runs.
it has move up from 11.6 on the day I brought it home to 17.1 today.
at least it is going in the right direction.
hand calculating at fill up over the weekend got me 16.5
Just a bit better than the old Chevy 4x4 with 5.7/5spd/3.73
I like them just fine.How do you like the 3.31 ratio?
I ordered the 3.31 gears as well(in error, kind of), makes me a little nervous for low end torque/pull off the line. Currently have a '19 - 5.0L w/3.55 gears. I hope I don't notice much difference.
