Or just turn your mds off and use all 8 cylinders and your truck won't jump up in rpms when you touch the pedal

Any auto parts website will have them but I would go to moe's performance. His website specializes in parts for our trucks

But I also turned off MDS on my truck and it doesn't affect MPG

The only way a hemi is going to gain 6mpg, is to turn off the engine and coast.

you got a supercharger? otherwise 6mpg gain is pretty incomprehensible

Yea I'm sorry but I call BS on a 6 MPG gain just from turning off MDS. Maybe if you switched from a Hemi to a CTD I would believe it but not what you're stating.

So you're saying that when you had the mds turned on you drove like a... your words... (dick head) then turned it off and drove like a normal person. You ever think that if you drove like a normal person with the mds on, you might have gotten better mpg's than you were getting, because a 6mpg gain is not believable, just from turning off mds as 08 Hemi, and Nate, and myself have stated. You might see a 6mpg gain on your computer, from resetting it after slowing down, but that is not an average. Remember this, when you write things in this forum, you're talking to people that actually own and drive a vehicle like or similar to yours, and will call BS whenever they see it coming. My MDS has been off for four years now and I see no improvement in mileage no matter how hard I drive my truck, which is also what others have stated If you're actually achieving what you say you have, you're definately the only hemi owner on this site that this has happened to.
