[quote=lxman1;1853397]Welcome Fred.
This is correct. You can disable it with the Diablosport or SC. They cause few problems that I know of. Just use the recommended 5w20 engine oil and change it regularly.
I only run mine disabled because it sounds like crap with my louder exhaust. [quote]

What are the few problems? Any difference between SC and the Diablo for the problems?

I just changed the oil and ran the recommended 5w20 - do the MDS solenoids run on the oil? Just currious.

I can actually hear the MDS kick in with the Flowmasters - and that is annoying....

I'm leaning towards the SC - just because the tech help here seems to be overwhelming.... or am I missing the Diablo tech here?

Actually other than this thread about failing solenoids, I haven't really heard of any problems with the system other than the annoying way that it kicks in and out a lot.
It has solenoid valves that channels the oil so that the lifters do not move the valves when the MDS kicks in . It also kills the coils and injectors for those 4 cylinders.

As for Diablosport tech, http://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen-...d-reviews.html
