Last word on vvt vct and fuel saver
#23
Had the flash done yesterday. No such luck. The hemi does seem to run better after the update. I asked the service manager what it would take to get the fuel saver light. He said it is not just a software update to get it. Something about the early production Rams don't have the same wiring as the later production models. Not sure I buy that answer.

Me too but it is not really a light its just the same colour as any of the other text in EVIC while you are driving. Not like it comes up yellow or red and flashes but I think things coming up while you are driving tend to make you look so ya I glad I don't have it and it didn't flash as others said it does.

After having the flash done and talking to two different dealers, I have come to the conclusion that those of us with early build dates without the fuel saver light will not be getting help for it from Dodge. Not sure why it worked on a the OP truck, but the rest of us are SOL. Sending emails to Dodge gets a basic reply to contact your dealer. The dealer says there is nothing they can do. It just does not make any sense to me since the parts seem to be same in the 09.

i have an 09 Sport 4X4. bought it around June 1st. i can't get the build date from it right now but i never seen a fuel saver light on it.... i don't even know if the truck goes into fuel saver mode! never felt any differance going between 8cyl and 4cyl (which is the way it's supposed to be).. and the mpg sure didn't look like it was going into saver mode.. i don't really care if there is a light that comes on or not. it's not going to change the way i drive it.
i just jump in and drive! it took me a while to figure out why sometimes there would be a "5" where the "D" is supposed to be! i was just playing with the shifter out of bordem. I had no idea you could shift it manualy.. i didn't buy the truck cause it's a dodge or has a hemi. never even considered dodge until the day i bought it. i went to the dealership to buy the all terrain gmc.. the lifetime warranty made me choose the dodge (and the only all terrain they had was black). first dodge i have ever owned.. so far i like it and hope i don't regret it.
