My friend has an 09 and I had heard that there was an indicator when mds was active in the 09s. He either doesn't know where it is or it doesn't exist. Any ideas?

 

There's no indicator on mine... that i know of anways

 

Check in the Manual.

 

you're helpful

 

I dont have it on mine. (Yes, Ive read the manual too). Its pretty obvious when the MDS kicks in, you can see the rpms drop big time. At 70mph, Im at 1500rpms. My 05 Ram (Without MDS) sat at about 2000rpms at 70mph.

 

There is no MDS indicator on my 09.......at least I can't find one.

 

No indicator but a buddy of mine rigged an LED indicator in the cab of his 08 to indicate when it was active. There is a wire under the hood he tapped to make it work. He showed it to me on my truck. Don't care enough to do it.

 

ya i wish i had something to show if it was in 4, 6, or 8

could change your driving habits a bit if you knew at what points it shifts over

 

If someone could verify that the procedure for adding an MDS indicator is the same on the '09 as it was on the '06-'08s I'll change the "DIY" I made to include it.
You might want to check it out in the "DIY" Section.

Thanks...

 

How can RPM go down when MDS kicks in???
