Just to confirm, but does ECO only show when MDS has been activated, Correct? Also, would the activation of MDS be impacted by how one's truck is equipped? Ex; a 3.92 ratio vs a 3.21 ratio.


Eco and mds are 2 separate things but come on at the same time for the most part.
Eco just shows you are driveing to get the best mileage and since doing so the mds will kick in because of this light throttle being applied.

I don’t like MDS and I think to upgrade my truck with the Edge Pulsar tuning module.

In my experience the drone noise MDS makes on my truck seems to be most noticeable when I'm driving ~35mph. MDS kicks in, but the noise doesn't go away unless I give it more or less throttle. There have been times when I can clearly hear the drone for 10+ seconds. Is this normal? It almost seems like it can't decide whether or not it should be using 4 or 8 cylinders. You would think that MDS should be able to turn on and off seamlessly.

I really like the sound of the Edge Pulsar if for no other reason than to permanently disable mds, which is the devils work. The HP and torque boost in that video isn't too shabby either.
I see on their webpage it says: "leaving virtually no traces for warranty". With only 1500 miles on the OD, I'm curious if "virtually no" is enough keep me from shooting myself in the foot later regarding the warranty.

Yeah,......make sure you read all the print, ESPECIALLY the fine print.
