How do you disable? Is that through tuning only? Only thing I’ve found is it allowing it to show the eco on the screen but not actually turn it odd

gear selector on steering wheel. When the eco is off your in manual and next to the "D" for drive is, it will tell you what gear your in.

no, simply push the minus button on the gear shifter and a number will illuminate on the DIS that indicates the highest gear the trans will shift to. it locks out the higher gears and also shuts off MDS when you have the trans in manual mode, you will notice eco does not come on. when i see eco come on in regular driving, i know mds is activated and i can hear the change in exhaust tone when its on 4 cylinders.

my truck runs a lot better in manual mode.

I’ll try that up on my way up with the camper tommoro. I tried locking out of higher gears and that helped but it would still randomly down shift sometimes. It was all throttle play.

Its not going to go into mds mod pulling a load so thats not why its searching gears.
It will only go into mds mod under light throttle.

Its going to down shift if you apply more throttle to it , its not spose to lugg down as thats hard on the transmission but it should hold a gear and not be going back and forth as thats hard on it as well.

Have you researched the cost of the swap for gears??? Our trucks (2015) require a ton of labor in the front along with more parts . I got quoted over 5k for. Swap!!!

To do that your going to need a older front diff I believe ad for the newer trucks your stuck to 3:92s being thr lowest you can go.

I think you have to go back to a 2011 frontend so you can change the gears out.
