Where are you guys able to find the date your vehicle was manufactured?

It's on the label inside the drivers door that has the tire pressure on it. On the bottom line it will say MDH followed by 6 numbers. That stands for month, day, and hour. For example, mine says MDH:022114 That is February (02), 21, 2pm (1400 hours)

I don't have the light and I am glad! I think it would get kind of annoying myself!

The spot where the fuel saver light comes one is the spot on my truck that tells me my cruise is on so I cannot see anyway to reprogram that ..

Just noticed the light on my Ram today after I filled up. Never noticed it until today as I was looking at the average mpg display. The light goes off when coasting down a hill and seems to come on when you barely have your foot on the gas on a flat or slight downward road. Was going 30 - 40 mph at the time. Unless you're looking, can't really tell it's there in the cluster of LCD characters.

I have VCT, with locking tailgate with a build date of 120512, Dec 12 @ noon.

Just out of curiosity how can you tell if you have a VCT or VTT engine?
