Yes and no. Yes you plug it in there, but you reprogram it, then disconnect it. I keep it in my center console just in case I have to have anything done to the engine.
I'll check after work to see the name brand.

We had a few at the one job I work and they do well for milage. Some get near 14 mpg. Way better than the Fords 5.4 triton that get 8-10 mpg.
60 on hiway, 16 70 14 towing 7000 lbs 9-10
@JD1137 Glad to hear you are healing up! What a harrowing experience. So glad it wasn’t worse. I hope it won’t be too long before you can get back to woodworking. Will pray for continued recovery.
I’m still driving my old Toyota truck - very basic, no airbags. Your situation is certainly going to make me be more careful, even though these things can happen out of one’s control.

basic old trucks have advantages- simple-easy to work on. I look under either of our hoods and it is " what the ...." but on long trips- the ride- heated steering wheel-seats, no road noise temp control. all make driving easier. In 2006 Kathie got a Lexus hybrid. auto wipers. Me-what the hell do you need auto wipers for. Traveled to Mt. and on Lookout pass- barrier in middle of freeway. semi coming otherway, slush, semi buried me in slush- no vision at 60- for a second-the wipers slept it off. NEVER is it turned off... sometimes old dogs can learn new tricks-sometimes slowly- sometimes instantly..
Good thing you had that!
Glad that you are OK and the new truck looks really nice!
Another Chevy 5.3 truck owner here, mine is a 2010 that I've had for 6 years, currently with 265,000 miles. Early last year it blew out a spark plug so I took the heads off to have it fixed and get a head job done. I replaced the AFM lifters / cam / solenoids with non-AFM physical parts while it was open and easily accessible. I got a HP Tuners unit to be able to connect to the computer to turn the AFM solenoids off in the software. The truck runs smoother and if it lost any gas mileage by not going into 4 cylinder mode on the highway I haven't been able to tell it.
