hey guys, i just bought a 2006 ram trx4 with a hemi and was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to tell if i have the multi cylinder displacement system or what ever its called on it. i looked in the book to see if the dash has symbols when its kicked on but i saw nuthin. for my first ram i am very pleased with it. i hope to have it for a long time.

 

Actually I dont think they came out with that system till 2007 Im not positive but Im pretty sure

 

i red a review that four wheel magazine did and they had it on there's so yea idk eather

 

Go on the Dodge website and shoot them an email with your vin and ask them for your build sheet. They'll email back your full build sheet for the truck. All options, etc. I'm pretty sure if you had MDS, you'd know it though. Most guys don't like it and use their programmer to turn it off.

Welcome to df btw.

 

o yea why is that. does it hurt the truck or something.

 

2006 was the first year for MDS in the Ram. It came on most 1500s. To for sure go to a dealership and ask for a build sheet, they should charge you anything.

Many people disable it because they find it annoying, or have aftermarket exhaust and find it sounds like **** when the MDS kicks in.

 

I have a 2006 and dont have the MDS system but again i have a manual tranny, so i dont know if it could come with a MDS, but i dont know for sure..

 

All 5.7 hemi's came with mds in there build codes standard. Hoss sorry you don't 4.7 motor didn't come with it I doubt it was offered in the first place. But for the op there is no doubt that you have it , unless you hook up a mds light. (has that been put in the diy section btw)Or spice up your intake and exhaust ,you won't be able too tell when it enables itself. All o6's have it too answer that question btw /5.7 hemi's.

 

^^^^ i didnt want one i was just sayin could it come with a manual tranny?

 

I dont think the 2500 &3500s have the set up to kick back to 4 cylinders in the 06 5.7 engines
