Manually activating MDS with a switch??
06 Ram 1500 HEMI 4x4 w/MDS
Ok, so I know most of you out there HATE the MDS system either because of the sound it makes with an aftermarket exhaust or because you bought a truck to be a truck and not because of gas mileage. Well the exhaust sound doesn't bother me but maybe it's because I didn't get too loud of a muffler. As far as "it's a truck and shouldn't get good mpg" I can understand that but let's face it...at $3.20 a gallon and going higher I'm looking for a few more pennies in my pocket. With that being said, around town I don't care if MDS is on, however on the highway at 70+ mph my Ram NEVER goes into MDS mode. Could be something technical that says it over 70 or over a certain rpm don't activate MDS. It could also be that because of the Ram's weight or wind resistence at that speed it doesn't fall within parameters I don't know. I'm wondering is there any possible way to set up a switch on my dash that will FORCE the engine to go into MDS mode regardless of the "perfect situation for it to kick on" ?
