I just talked to the dealer and the Shop Foreman said that due to the low rpm's (1700) at 60mph, the torque converer is locked up and that is the reason the mds won't kick in.

Does this sound right?

 

ttttt

 

No, that's not right. Probably just told you that to spare your feelings. Seriously, you have 20 miles on your truck. I'm actually surprised you're going into MDS at all.

Don't worry or even think about your fuel mileage for at least a thousand miles because it's pointless. You should be driving it fairly aggressively anyways per the break in instructions in the manual, mds shouldn't be kicking in much at all in that driving style even if you were broke in.

Relax.

 

Thanks Inbred. I sometimes need that.

 

You will eventuly notice that the more miles on truck, the more you will see the fuel saver come on ... imho.

 

60mph should be the same for the canadian built ones?

 

Ive never seen the fuel saver light, and ive had it for almost 6months. Where do you see it ? is it an US production feature?

 

thats why you havent seen it they didnt have it on the 1st 09 models, mine doesnt have the light either.

and im glad i dont need to stupid little light to tell me what i can feel

 

oh so its not an option on top of the mds? I thought it might be a tuning option like some of those aftermarket chip setups where you can select different driving modes. With the exhaust done you can definately here it kick down to 4 cylinders. not a huge fan of the drone but with a 10 speaker stereo you dont hear a whole lot anyways

 

lol yeah
