Default Any undocumented hacks?

Are there any undocumented hacks to the overhead console information displays? I know in my Caddy, you can add in a couple of other non-standard readouts, such as coolant temp, to the info center, by pressing a sequence of keys and adding/subtracting numbers. Does anyone know if there are any such hacks for the Dak? Knowing how nerds are, I'd be surprised if Dodge geeks didn't hide some easter eggs in there somewhere...

It would be nice, for example, to see instant MPG in addition to average, gallons used since reset, coolant temp, that sort of stuff. I gotta believe that the OBD computers in an '06 truck are at LEAST as smart as my '01 Eldo...

Thanks

The problem with being owned by big brother benz, all shred of character was removed from designs lol.

Wonder if Fiat will let things like this pass through.

Also, it's the freedom of using the Delphi computer system, a lot easier to toss in a quick easter egg with a system that hasn't changed for decades. Unlike Chrysler systems that change almost every 5 years it seems.
