not sure but like I said all our trucks need the update anyway so take a shot at it and let us know . I know that falsh will be differnt then the others due to 4 wheel drive and axle.

This update also fixes idle quality and some guys have complained about the fact that mds bumps coming in and out there have been improvments for the NVH concern ( noise vibration and harsness )

I think they are keeping the 4cyl on way longer then they did before now I have the light I see when its on and some times it stays on until you are stoped or close to it , I was shocked how often the mds operates I allways thought it was only 30 mph and then at hwy speeds or decel

I went to the dealership today and got the update. I didn't notice anything different on the drive home. Where does the Fuel Saver light come on when the Cruise Control is engaged? I noticed on the picture that the light was in the spot where my cruise control is.

What speeds have people noticed there fuel saver light kicking in? I was driving at 55 with cruise control on and nothing happened.

Actually, the Fuel Saver symbol is in the space immediately above the Cruise Control symbol.

Hello everyone,

I'm a "newbie" here -- just picked up our truck last week, our first Dodge product. Took it to the shop this morning to have a scratch repaired on the cab (apparently happened during shipping); when they checked the computer for any pending service bulletins, recalls, etc. the only one it listed for my truck is the recent A/C software update. Maybe they'll get around to giving the rest of us the fuel saver indicator later on...

On the "up" side I really like the truck so far, but I need to have some side step rails installed on it soon before my wife breaks her neck trying to get in and out of it!

Started to get excited until I read that it doesn't apply to dual exhaust trucks. Some day.

Thanks for the info and updates!
