    MDS Delete SOLVED

    Just wanted to share this, pulled the trigger and had my ECU tuned to delete the MDS from functioning. Super simple, mailed my PCM out and he mailed it back with no more MDS!!! The guy said if sending in my current PCM wasn't an option, that sourcing a used one could work too. Can't believe I...

    MDS

    I recently put a BRAND NEW 5.7L Hemi in my 2014. Coming from MOPAR it has the MDS system in it and I can't break into the engine because that will void the lifetime warranty through MOPAR. I have a Edge CTS3 tuner on it that can disable the MDS system, will this cause issues?

    MDS Pulse when going 4 back to 8

    The MDS system in my '14 1500 5.7 seems to be "fluctuating" when it shifts back to 8 mode from 4 mode. I can feel it in my pants and hear it. I confirmed this by shutting MDS off by using the gear selector on the steering wheel and the issue went away. I have AlfaOBD so I can do some in-depth...

    Which Cam and Lifters Did You put in Your 5.7?

    I need to do a top-end rebuild soon and I would like to get your feedback on what cam/lifters you chose to rebuild the top-end of your 5.7L? Please list; 1. What you used? (i.e. Comp Cam *** with OEM Delphi lifters) 2. Did you keep MDS? why or why not? 3. Where you bought it? 4. Why you chose it?

    Strange Howl/Whine noise

    So I started hearing this strange howl/whining noise in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear lately right before the transmission shifts. I also hear it if I’m coming to a stop. Here’s the thing, if I select mds off by using the gear buttons on the wheel, the sound goes away almost every time. Also, it doesn’t...

    MDS help......

    This may be a dumb question but going to ask anyway lol. I trade my 2015 1500 in for a 2018 1500. One thing that I have noticed is that my 2015 would kick into Eco mode and a light would come on. I have not seen this even once on the 2018. Is this normal or do I need to do something?
