mds is only a cpu function. i guess i cant speak first hand but its nothing new to have the dealer turn it off. they also can turn a bunch of other little things off too..

MDS = Multi Displacement System or Magnified Drone Sound (If you put a loud exhaust on it)

Your computer shuts down 4 cylinders under light to no load allowing yer engine to run as a four banger.

The computer controls it, but their are more mechanical componets involved.

The reason I want to turn it off is I'm running a flow master exhaust, CAI, Super chips, 6 inch lift along with 35" tires on Motive 4.56 gears. So when the MDS kicks in especially at lower speeds its much more noticeable and the exhaust sounds bad. If I was worried about gas mileage I would drive a Honda. I want all 8 cylinders all the time.

Thanks
Matt
