I've had mine 3 years and mds hasnt bothered me once or even been something I think about when driving or towing. every now and then I see the ECO green light on but not sure what is bad about it. my laramie runs great tows good and gets 20+ sometimes on the highway. I'm not sure what it is about the mds that folks are supposed to not like.
Who is the he!! are you to question what I like and don't like? If I don't like something I don't like it and you're not doing a dam thing about it. Got it!Why. Not one thing wrong with MDS, it is all in your damn head! Guess you hit it one to many times.
The noise and vibration of the MDS on the 6.4 hemi is really noticable. My wife who rarely notices the motor is even running instantly noticed it the first time she rode in my truck. I can feel the vibration it puts out in my seat.Sorry to hear you are not happy with your new truck. However there is a very easy solution swap trucks with your son. You get a Chevy and your son get a new truck. I have a 2022 Ram Laramie and the only way I can tell anything about the MDS is by looking at the dash board and seeing the light come on and off.
Thank you, and welcome home ! The best to you and your love ones.Howdy and SEMPER FI, Thank you for your Service, My Dad served 24 years in the Navy, I served 20. I survived cancer in my throat 9 years ago 7 hours on the table and Desert Storm before that. To damn ornery to let it go. I bought a 2019 used with all of those gadgets also. I just let it do its thing and keep the oil changed. Have found out about a few bugs here and there. Technology always will bite us in the ass at times. Marine, Keep plugging away and do not let anything get ya down. We have been through some **** that only a hand full in here could even relate to. In my prayers and thoughts Brother.

I've had two 4th gens and now a 5th gen and I can count on one hand the number of times for all three I ever felt the MDS switch in or out.Sorry to hear you are not happy with your new truck.

If you had a 1500 (all stock) with the 8 speed, you wouldn't mind it as much.The noise and vibration of the MDS on the 6.4 hemi is really noticable.

You don't have to understand what people don't like about MDS. You like it, then by all means keep it active. Other's don't like it for their own reasons. I think it's a good thing that it can be disabled, even though it's a little bit of an inconvenience to have to do it every time you shift into drive.
@Namgrunt67, using tow/haul will disable MDS, but using tow/haul mode will negatively affect your fuel economy. Using the shift limit buttons allows the transmission to use the normal shift points, so any potential fuel economy hit will only be from the slight difference MDS might give. Although, after many years of owning Ram trucks with MDS, and lots of experimenting, I've never seen any real benefits from MDS. Which is why I disable it now. than that the exhaust sounds like crap when it's running on 4 cylinders.
Well I washed my Dodge Ram last night, and when I woke up this morning
it had turned into a loaded 2022 Siverado Z-71 with smaller mirrors
