Any idea whats going on here? Should we be happy? lol
My dealer called me and asked. I'm all about having it off. I wired the switch on my 2016 so it kicks off automatically when I start the truck. I hated the feeling of not being able to accelerate immediately when in or entering an intersection. That 1/4 second lag is enough to turn an intersection merge into a close call in my opinion.

My blend date is 3/15 and the dealer said to expect 2 months. Not happy with that, was really hoping for late April. I guess we'll see what happens.

I am happy lol

I know there are some threads about the auto/start stop delete, but just out of curiosity, why don't you want it? With gas prices going the way they are, I can see wanting that feature, but the long term wear and tear on the vehicle starting and stopping is a definite big negative in my opinion. There are plenty of times I am going to baby this thing to try and squeeze 18 mpg if I'm just driving around to work and town and not baja racing. Just curious what others think.

Honestly, I live down in Florida where it’s always super hot. When I get to a red light and the engine shuts offs the air doesn’t blow as cold anymore lol. That’s the only reason I don’t want my truck to shut off.
