all LS4 motors have DOD

and the word in your sig should be "oops", not "opps"...

08 introduced chrome wheels, no moldings on doors, stabilitrack...not sure what else, though.

07 had deeper cupholders than the 06. Also DoD was changed to AFM. Warranty extended.

All in all, not too much.

I thought it was odd that every 08 SS I've seen didn't have the body side molding. I think it looks somewhat plain without it. Thanks for the info Buff!

Oh yeah, and I forgot to add that the '06 DOES have DoD. It changed to AFM the following year.

What's the difference between DOD and AFM, exactly? I'm still relativley new to my 07 Monte SS..

There is no difference. This is GM marketing at work. Active Fuel Management versus Displacement on Demand, probably changed due to the bad press on the 1980's Cadillac cylinder deactivation system.

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up. I looked at it, and found definitions for both, and was sitting here going "It's the same damn thing" :P Anyways, I'm very pleased with my 07 SS.. MUCH better than my 05 Ford Mustang. Years above in fit and finish.

Haha. :P I can't say too many bad things about her, she managed to run a 11.6 (Spent alot of money on her, just got sick of all the uh, rattles, engine codes, etc.)
