MDS delete?

[Ram2300]

Hello I have a 2023 ram 2500 tradesmen 6.4L 4x4 and I was wondering if there’s a permanent MDS delete so the ECO stays off while driving. I heard that the MDS is the main cause of the 6.4L lifters and rods failing and it’s a costly repair. I’m curious if there’s a permanent delete for this so it’s running on full power of 8 cycles and not 4 half the time. I noticed if I select the gear shift it will turn off but not permanently.

It's not the cause. Yes there is way to remove it. costly.
But why would you want to do it on 2023? void all warranties?

I have looked this up before, looks like you can if you apply a tune the truck. Like mentioned , this will void your powertrain warranty.

I just bought a pulsar but it's still in the mail. It says it can permanently disable MDS for you plus do some other things. Kinda pricey if you just want to disable MDS.

It has become second nature to use the max gear lever whenever I put the truck into drive. When in Tow/Haul mode MDS is also defeated. I run the MDS for a few miles once a month to keep it working.

The Pulsar doesn't really disable MDS. It simply put's the gear selector in the highest gear which disables the MDS. Same thing you can do manually.

That's a crock.MDS hasn't been proven to fail. 6 speed 5.7 and 6.4 Challengers are factory non-mds and they still go through lifters.Poor maintence is the biggest issue with cams failing,stay on top of your oil changes,and don't baby it, driving it like Grandma is going hurt it more then anything

Thank you, I plan on it and I’m like a maintenance guru so I stay on top of the scheduled maintenance etc.

I’m just curious is all and I’m all about the warranties anyways. Just trying to find ways to open up the engine power wise without voiding warranties and I know the truck is brand new so there’s basically not much out there right now.

You could look at getting HP Tuner. Then either get a custom tune added or learn yourself. It's not that hard, but you could screw up things if your not careful.

Simple thing like Pedal commander or one like it, would help with acceleration delay, keep in mind it doesn't increase anything.
