Hello I am new here I am looking at buying a 2011 dodge ram 1500 5.7l hemi how do I know if this truck as the MDS hemi or a regular hemi

 

Im pretty sure all 2011 ram 1500 hemi's have MDS

 

2006 on up are all MDS engines if its a 5.7 hemi

Here let me fix this so as not to cause a fuss amongst the politically correct
ALL 2011 MODEL YEAR 5.7 HEMI 1500 TRUCKS ARE MDS

 

Awesome thank you for the help

 

Not exactly. 2006+ 1500 Light Duty are all MDS w/5.7L Hemi
The Megacab is denoted as a 1500(06-08 only) but is mounted on a 2500 frame and has no MDS because it's essentially a 2500.
2009+ they dropped the 1500 Megas.
So, all 2009+ 1500's w/5.7L are MDS

 

details details details.... the OP was asking about 2011 1500 trucks, not 2500`s, therfore, all 2011 1500 hemi`s are MDS.
Next time i`ll dot my "i`s" and cross my "T`s" a little better.
