According to the Dodge web site, no. Its standard with the hemi on the other packages, but not the ST's. The light is part of the EVIC.

The CCN on them is not the same as the slt and other models so I would say no

My service advisor when I talked to him today gave me the impression he was not aware of the update. He was going to look up number 18-019-09 and see if it applies. Thanks for all your help.

Chrysler group has a new policy that we run the Wi Tech on all vehs that come in and make sure that all software on all the computers is uptodate

My SLT came with the basic steering wheel controls for the evic. The fuel saver is not an option in my evic setup. I've got to take the truck in for the hvac control software update. Hopefully they will check and update all software and that will activate the mds fuel saver light. Not sure what the build restore is and if the dealer out hear would do it if the truck is running ok now.

My truck is one of the first made. It has a build date of 08/08. Do you think that this flash will work on my truck. If so, I will take it into my dealer for the flash.

Thanks,
