either - but the power it definitely there. Very nice system and is
controlled via the PCM, Solenoids under the intake (for the lifters/valves),
and injectors are turned off (on for a few rotations and then back off
again).
Yeah, I totally agree with you on the 5.7L not fitting in a Dakota - makes
no sense.

Hey Bernd, that's pretty interesting on the multi-displacement engine. Does
the computer randomly shut down different valves/lifters each time it
engages to even out the wear? Do you have a link on "how it works"?
