Are you sure it is equipped with that feature?

The 2009s, should have the "Fuel Saver" message which is essentially ECO. It usually should light when efficiently driving. There has been notes that a change in fuel grade affects the sensitivity. I can't say that I have experienced that in my 2014.

Early build 2009s do not have the eco light, it was a mid year update. I believe any 2009 built before Dec 2008 does not have the light

How to check it if its equipped? I was thought all Dodge RAM's from 2006 was equipped with MDS.

I have an oct 2008 build date and mine doesn’t have the light. I do recall reading a while back that there is a flash to add it but I have not looked into it. Any info would be great. Thanks.

The engine is equipped with mds,,, but the light was a mid year option on the 2009s all 2010 up have the light.
My 2009 was a sept 2008 build and does not have the light but the engine has the mds

Like I said, I believe the dealer has a flash for it. I remember reading years ago about it but never looked into it.
