I was messing with alpha and i was able to turn on ECO mode for my V6 which i thought it was only for the Hemi. I didn’t have that option on the uconnect and didnt have the ECO on the evic

you were able to turn it on because it is a very common misconception that the "Eco" means MDS which it does not. The "ECO" is just to signify that you are driving in an economical manner.

All your did was turn on an indicator, you didn't change anything in the way the truck performs.

Which for hemi owners it's an indication you're not pressing the skinny pedal hard enough...:D

At least on my 19 classic V6, I believe the eco display on the cluster is related to the active grill shutters. It lets you know when the shutters are closed and hence in “eco” mode.
