The Texas Speed L96 DOD Basic Kit removes the Active Fuel Management (DOD) system from GM Gen IV 6.0L L96 truck engines while keeping Variable Valve Timing in place. It is a complete delete and camshaft package built around a genuine GM L96 non-DOD VVT camshaft, so the engine keeps smooth factory-style drivability without the failure-prone DOD lifters.
The kit includes 16 GM/Delphi LS7-style lifters with LS2 lifter trays, TSP OE-style 6.0L/6.2L head gaskets, a TSP Gen IV head bolt kit for both heads, an OE-style L92 valley cover without PCV provision, a GM L99-style VVT cam bolt, a TSP cam retainer plate and bolt kit, a GM LS2 chain damper, exhaust manifold gaskets with 12 stainless header bolts, a wet sump balancer bolt and the timing cover gasket, front crank seal and water pump gaskets. A custom tune is required after installation.

FAQ
What engines does the Texas Speed L96 DOD Basic Kit fit?
It is designed for the GM Gen IV 6.0L L96 engine used in 2010 and newer Silverado and Sierra 2500/3500 HD trucks and the 6.0L versions of the Silverado 1500, Suburban and Yukon listed by Texas Speed.
Does the L96 DOD delete kit keep Variable Valve Timing?
Yes. The kit uses a genuine GM L96 non-DOD VVT camshaft and an L99-style VVT cam bolt, so Variable Valve Timing is retained while the DOD lifters and system are removed.
What is included in the L96 DOD Basic Kit?
It includes the GM L96 non-DOD VVT camshaft, 16 GM/Delphi LS7-style lifters, LS2 lifter trays, two TSP 6.0L/6.2L head gaskets, a Gen IV head bolt kit, an L92 valley cover, a VVT cam bolt, a cam retainer plate kit, an LS2 chain damper, exhaust manifold gaskets, 12 stainless header bolts, a balancer bolt and the timing cover gasket, front crank seal and water pump gaskets.
Is tuning required after installing the L96 DOD delete kit?
Yes. Texas Speed states a custom tune is necessary after installation so the ECM stops commanding Active Fuel Management and the engine runs properly on the new camshaft and lifters.
Is the L96 camshaft in this kit a performance grind?
No. It is a genuine GM 6.0L L96 non-DOD camshaft, so the kit returns the engine to factory-style operation without AFM. Texas Speed describes the kit as a reliability and longevity upgrade rather than a performance camshaft package.
