Default vibration and rough sound at 45 mph

Im new to the forums, so hello. I bought a 2010 reg cab ram hemi 2 weeks ago. I notice at around 40 or 45 mph when i coast in that range, my truck sometimes will sound rough and vibrate a little. When i speed up or down it goes away. I called my local dealer and he said he didnt know what it could be and that no one else has ctold him of that problem. I wanting to know if some of you guys are having the same problem or might know what the problem is. Thanks

It's probably the MDS, when you're in 4 cylinder mode it sounds and feels a bit harsh, like a vibration

No it does it all the time. Whenever there is a light load on the engine it will engage.

I hope you are right. The truck is under warranty so im not to worried about it. Its a sound like the back window is rattling a little bit. Its kind of embarrassing when you are showing the truck off to a friend and they are like what the hell is that.

Its the MDS kicking in. Mine does the same thing as well. I can feel just a minor vibration when it kicks in.

Not neccessarily. There is an option to turn off the fuel saver light in the EVIC
