GM factory in Tonawanda chosen to build next-generation Silverado engines

[EDNY]

My old stomping grounds.   The story caught my attention because the radio stations reports the fuel management doesn't only manage fuel to 8, 6 or 4 cylinders it also manages fuel to 17 cylinders

Well I had to investigate and learned that the engine manages 17 fuel patterns not cylinders.

GM got 300 million dollars from the GOVT to reprogram the computers!

The new Silverado engines are powered by a "sophisticated controller that monitors every movement of the accelerator pedal and runs a complex sequence of calculations to determine how many cylinders are required to meet the driver's requested torque," GM said in its announcement today.
