just look at your valley cover, if there's all kinds of bumps on it, then it has DOD . . . if it's flat and smooth, no worries

i just turned off DOD on my truck . i would only remove it if you are running a cam with a lift higher than .600 or a spring with excessive pressure. ....



my 5.3 with a 224/228 .580 lift on a 112 made 360rwhp and it drove like stock.spun it to 6200-6400 with no worries. and went 13.00 @102 (13.50 on 22"s). i would still be driving it like that today if comp 918 hadn't broke and dropped a valve

for smaller cams this is really not needed,imo anyway. but what do i know
