I am looking on what settings to turn on to see the current gear I am in while driving, such as this image, on the D1 it displays the actual gear versus the + or - where it is allowing you the 8 gears, any leads helps! I have found in the car config settings the gear shift indicator: no at the moment that's the only thing I can think of

Alfaobd could not make that work on my 2016 1500 Eco. It worked fine on my 2020 3500 HO

Here's the settings"
Gear Indicator on right side of the Odometer

AlfaOBD:
Car configuration Change:
ECUConfig 4:
Actual Gear for Display: Yes

Vehicle:
Then go to EVIC
Select settings
Select Gear Display: Yes

My 2016 1500 did not have that EVIC Select Gear Display item

So does the 2018 trucks not have that ability either? I went into body computer, went to car config change and enabled the ECUConfig 4: Actual Gear for Display. I cycled the ignition like it said to do and then went to my EVIC screen behind the wheel and went to settings.... I didnt see that "gear display" option either so does that mean it wont work?

I don't have an answer. It's been so long ago that I tried this on my 2016 Eco I don't remember all the options.
