This is the first Ram I've owned and in all my research on mods I plan on doing MDS keeps coming up and I've tried to research what MDS is and can't come up with anything. So I'm going to ask a stupid question what is the MDS? Thanks

When your computer thinks you don't need all your power, (like at cruise speed on the highway), it cuts out several cylinders to cut fuel consumption.

Thanks for the info interesting reed. I know I've read that the only way to shut it off is with a tuner I'm curious has anyone tried to see if dealer can shut MDS off? Thanks

You don't need a tuner to shut down the MDS you could do it manually.

Thanks Rampant didn't know that
No problem. Also, if you use manual shift with the +/- it will lock it out as well.

As long as your truck is in eight gear it disables it
