Hey so I have a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7L. I had to have the motor rebuilt 2 months after buying it (warranty covered it) back in 2019. Shitty MDS ruined the camshaft. So I have had a bad squeaking that I thought was a belt or something but I was completely wrong. My mechanic says they cut corners and...

I'm new to this forum. I'm from Southeast Pa and recently dropped the lifter in my sweet 15 Sport. Time for an upgrade. So I recently bought a 6.4 out of a 2018 2500 with 18k miles for a good price. I plan to put it in my 2015 Ram 1500 Sport. (Toy truck) I know this motor doesn't make the...

I have a 2014 ram 1500 bighorn 5.7. The 8th vin digit is r. I can't find info to see if my truck has mds or not. I have never heard it kick on and there is no eco light. Is it possible that it doesn't have it? Thanks

Hey everyone, I bought a new Ram 1500 last month, September, and was driving it for about a month when I started having issues. At first it would randomly shake noticeably at idle and then immediately ride rough after. This would only happen intermittently. Then the check engine light came on...

Hi all, Two weeks ago my check engine light came on while driving home from work on the highway. I also began to hear what I can best describe as an intermittent and random rattling noise coming from the engine compartment when I accelerated past 2000RPM. I used my scanner and found it had...

Hey, I have a 2007 Dodge Durango that will not pass emissions because of a CEL and code P3497. According to the code, there is an issue with the MDS system. The dealer wants an astronomical price to repair it and I am not sure it is worth it for an 11 year old truck with over 220,000 miles...

Hello all, looking for a little advice if anyone has any suggestions. I recently purchased a 2017 Ram 2500 tradesman with a 6.4L. Its got a shudder of some sort, simply feels like it has a miss. It does it when towing my RV and the tow/haul is engaged so the MDS is turned off. It does it...

So I have been trying to figure out which cylinders are the ones that deactivate in the Hemi. It seems like it would be easy to find out, but hasn't been-even in Allpar and Engine Builder's thorough writeups they don't say it. My Haynes manual doesn't say either; I assume it would be the same...

Hello, So I am doing the MDS delete on my truck because I have suffered the cam/lifter failure. Is it true that I have to use a non mds cam or can I use the OEM mds cam with non mds lifters and use a tuner to turn off mds on the PCM?

hello I have a 2011 ram 1500 SLT crew cab with the 5.7L hemi around 106,000kms. I have the MDS option, and it kicks In quite frequently in the city once I hit a regular speed or accelerate really slowly. Anyways, I was getting sick of the stock exhaust, so I decided to go with a "cat back", and...

Hello! So! To start I have 2009 with hemi . had a Lifter seize and grind down my cam shaft on cylinder 5. So I replaced all lifters and cam shaft with oem parts. I messed up the timing of the cam and crank putting it back together. i put it back together exactly the way it came off. Got...

This software update definitely helped mine out. I had a 2011 Ram with the same motor and set up as my 2013 and my 2011 drove and operated much better than my current 2013. Since the update that was installed Friday the tranny seems to operate smoother, the drone is at the minimum, and believe...

I have a new 2014 Limited with 8 speed trans. When driving at around 1500 rpm the truck shakes. You can feel it in the seats. A water bottle in the console shakes and you can feel it. If I slowly apply power it persists then goes away as gear drops and rpm goes up. If cruising at that kind of...

hello im new to this site, my original question was going to be why my truck sounds like a growling when mds kicked on, but after reading some forums I believe its from my flow master, I just purchased a 06 ram 1500 big horn 5.7 hemi 3 days ago with lots of mods. so now my question is if 12.9mpg...

I currently have a 3rd gen 08 dodge ram 5.7L that has MDS with 104,000 miles. I'm not exactly sure how the v8 to v6 cylinder change is actually healthy for your motor. My question is- If your inactive pistons aren't getting oil on the highway(in v6 mode) for some time and get dry, then when...

Hey - Hope this is the right place for this question. (my first post!) I just bought a 2011 Ram 1500 about a week ago. It has 36,000 miles on it. I didn't notice on the initial test drive, but after bringing it home and driving through town at lower speeds, there is a weird clicking sound. This...

I am wondering if there is a way to tell when the MDS kicks in. I have a 2009 Ram Laramie and it has a Fuel saver light that comes on when you are light on the throttle but was told that has nothing to do with the MDS. The Fuel Saver light comes on even when its cold and i was told the MDS only...

I have a 2007 Ram Hemi 4x4 QC with approx 74,xxx miles. The last month and half my truck has been lurching when coming to a stop. This only happens every so often (1 or 2 times a week) and my truck doesn't actually move since I'm on the brakes. Another possibly related issue is when I first...

I recently purchased a diablo predator for my 07 dodge 1500 hemi and I put the 87 octane tune in my truck. my question is how do you disable the MDS and are there any transmission tunes or other tunes anyone would recommend? K&N drop in filter, 14" magnaflow exhaust.

Hey guys, I'm new here........hope you don't mind me posting a Durango question on a Ram Forum. I bought a 2004 Durango 5.7L (non MDS) with a blown motor (had a snapped rod and 2 holes in the block) with the intent to fix the engine. I bought an engine with MDS from a guy on Craigslist.......I...
