I thank you for that info, but I send you the same question I have been asking sense 300miles, now at 30k.
RPM/Engine Surge:
When easing to a stop or after stopping and slowly rolling (by easing off brake, no throttle apply) into my garage, the engine speed will increase surging the vehicle forward. It does not matter if the engine is cold or warm, nor driving for one minute or one hour. The engine speed will increase up to ~1000 rpm or more. The engine speed will surge and slowly come down to ~600 rpm in less than 15 seconds. This problem does not occur all the time, but I can bet on it happening each time I drive
The dealer was told by Chevy Tech Service that it is normal. I can't see it normal to have the vehicle speed increase with my foot on the brake.

What does the dealer have to say about the vibration? Harmonic balancer?

I have a 08 silverado lt crew cab and would like to add the DIC control. I have taken the small dash panel off from the left side of the dash where the controls should be located, but there is no harness to plug the switches into. Is the plug located in a different location from where I am looking? GM is telling me this is not possible to do.

If my memory serves me correctly the LT trim Silverado already has the DIC and is located near the steering column. The upgrade was being performed by owners who had the W/T and LS trim.

well im glad im not the only one, i have an 08 sierra as well and i really didn't notice it until i drove it on a long trip, mostly on the highway is when you notice it, it seems like it does it once you maintain your speed for a little while, your driving and then all of a sudden you hear the vibration and im guessing that means that its in 4 cylinder mode, i HATE it as well it drive me insane. a friend of mine had his turned off and im probably going to do the same i bought a V-8 for 8 cylinders not 4 and to be honest with ya i think it is harder on the engine switching all the time. other than that i love the truck though....lots of space and lots of power(in 8 cylinder mode that is)
