Hey guys, I need help. I just got a 2007 1500 4X4 with the 5.7.
On my 05 1500 5.7, I have the button on the end of the gear selector and when I push it it lights up on the dash.

My 2007 has the button (can't see any writing on the shifter, but could be rubbed off maybe?) and when I push the button, I get no light on the dash.

Is there any simple way to tell if I got it on my 2007?
Did all 5.7 Hemis come with the tow/haul option?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can tell a difference by the way it shifts. Best way to be sure if it does or does not is email Chrysler with your vin and request a build sheet. Took them a day to email mine to me and they will also inform you of any outstanding recalls.

It doesn't do anything while driving when I push the button on the end of the gear selector lever and the light on the dash for the tow/haul doesn't light up either.

Did the tow haul feature come with all 5.7s?
I went to the dodge owners website and registered my trucks and it came back with the standard features and options and both if my trucks have the tow package.

The 05 tow haul works.
But with the 07 I get nothing.

Not sure if it came with all of them. I would say it was an option.

If it has a tow package chances are that it does have the tow/haul mode. Get it up to speed on the highway and push the button. Do the RPM's increase? If so, then you have tow/haul.

I have, and nothing... I guess I could take the covering off of the column and see if any wires are coming from the button on the gear shift.

I went ahead and downloaded a FSM for it, but at 9000 plus pages, it's a big pain finding exactly what I want.

Did you check fuses? May have one burned out.

Ok, figured it out. The pins in the back of the switch in the end of the gearshift cam loose.
Put them back in the switch and now I got tow/haul and OD off.
