But..... Over the life of the engine, is thier going to be more wear and tear on injecters, plugs, coil packs, oil pump, cam shaft if only the same 4 cy are in MDS over the life of the engine?

I'm not suggesting the hemi is only going to run in mds, but would it make more sense to have a alternating cy's run in MDS mode?.

I'm considering buying a New Charger R/T and I don't know any thing abought MDS, would locking out the overdrive disable MDS?

Yes...same with thetow/haul for the trucks.

I don't think anyone has 200K+ miles on a mds hemi yet...let alone torn one down to see what's going on.
