The peddle commander speeds the reaction time that your gas peddle talks to your throttle body. Some feel a delay, in stock form, from the moment you step on the gas until your truck accelerates. I haven't really noticed the issue on this truck myself.
The procedure above turns off the mds so you will not have cylinder deactivation. It will always be using all 8 cylinders. It will still shift through all 8 speeds as normal but I have noticed once you do this you can see what gear the trans is in at all times, which I thought was kind of cool. I must admit that I don't use this procedure often because you have to do it every time you put it in drive.
Yes but I recently did a FL to NC drive and disabled MDS using the gear selection to 8+. While the truck was set this way I did feel more pep in the truck when maneuvering around traffic. Still got the "ECO" when in cruise and long flat sections of highway. However the truck seemed to shift much quicker to pass traffic when set to 8+. She was definitely more responsive.
