2001 Chevy Silverado V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I currently drive a 01 Silverado, and love it. But I am also currently underemployed. My question is, is it possible to shut off half of the cylinders. I don't need all the HP, most of the time and was thinking that if I could do this it would save fuel. Then turn them back on when I need the power. I know newer vehicles have the fuel management system that does this when driving along the highway. Any thoughts. Thank you.

Hi:
There is no way to do what you suggested. Nothing on the truck is set up for that. You would have thousands of dollars getting everything needed and I still don't think it would work.

What type of fuel economy are you getting?
