Abstract
A method for operating a 6-cylinder engine connected to a driveline including a transmission. The method includes: monitoring a rotational speed of a crankshaft of the 6-cylinder engine: monitoring a gear selection of the transmission; and operating the 6-cylinder engine in one of Order 3, Order 1.5 or Order 1 based on whether the selected Order avoids operating the 6-cylinder engine at a critical speed that corresponds to a natural harmonic frequency of the driveline, wherein priority is given to operating in Order 1.5, Order 1 then Order 3, in that order.
