Does the update actually help the truck achieve better mpg numbers, or does it just reprogram the computer to calculate it correctly?

Are you calculating your mileage manually to verify what the dash is telling you? Could it just be a faulty calculation in the electronics?

Bigger fuel tank and maybe level 2

I think I partially caught lightning in a bottle because the truck market in general has seen huge appreciation since 2009. The same truck today sells for ~$40K. That being said, Tacomas, Tundras and 4Runners have some of the best resale value in the industry and actually make a decent...

Me personally, I would wait a year and pay off the truck before I bought a new one. The price of the new ones is only going to keep going down and you will give RAM another year to work out all the kinks in the manufacturing process. As far as equity in cars go, that's why I always bought...

The sun thing happened to my last truck. It was a Toyota Tacoma and the sun melted the painted plastic bezel that surrounded the front grill.

Love the Sport rims!

Did you check the pressure while the tires were cold, or after driving? Once they heat up, the pressures can rise 5lbs. Likewise, the pressure on the door jamb is a MAX cold pressure. I usually inflate 1-2 lbs below the max level because the ride is better.

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to snap and upload the pic for me. Much appreciated!

I looked throughout all the UConnect settings for the ECO light and couldn't find anything. I also couldn't find anything in the owners manual.

Thanks but I'm referring to the MDS functionality in general. I don't have any indicator lights that show when it's active, at least that I have seen. Good to know the max gear selection deactivates it though. I'm assuming from what I've read thus far here, that this is just cylinder...

I'm not familiar with how the system operates and I can't find anything in the manual about it. Can someone point me to it in the owner's manual?

Looks awesome. I like that its one smooth surface on top rather than the slats of the MX4 where it folds. Very slick.

The engineers behind these things are some of the best in the world. There may be an impact, but it also may not be a factor in the useful life of a vehicle in today's world. To each his own however.

It still takes some effort and driving with fuel economy in mind. I am averaging 17.5-18 mpg. I have the gauge display set to instant fuel economy and with focus you will get there but you have to try and that's not as fun when you have a HEMI.
