    eTorque impact on mpg

    How can eTorque increase the rated mpg by 10%? Is it just from the auto-stops or is there anything else it is doing to impact mpg while driving?

    MDS not working (I know, most of you don't like MDS)

    I recently Bought a 2020 Ram 1500 with the Hemi V8 Etorque. I have put on 2000 miles on the highway with practically no city driving, 500 just picking it up out of state, and my gas mileage is poor, 16-17.5 mpg. The MDS rarely activates and when it does I'm heading down a hill and it clicks off...

    2019 V6 Pentastar Reviews?

    Hey all. I'm strongly considering getting the 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn with the V6. I'm tired or reading what the EPA says the mpg "should" be or how much the truck "should" be able to tow. What's it like in the real world? (MPG, towing, overall utility, etc.) Thanks!

    Efficiency Mods

    Hey everyone, I've been looking into mods that will help improve my MPG and as far as I'm aware there's 3 main categories that may help: 1. Air intake (Mopar cold air intake - I know it's not fully tested yet) 2. Exhaust (Borla Cat-back - looking for performance with a lowish sound output) 3...

    MDS Gear+/-

    Figured I'd post how to turn on/off MDS on here as I was not too familiar with the gear+/- functionality. To turn off MDS I started out putting it in Drive and "then" I would hit - and then + to reach 8, but that is a lot of unnecessary button pushing. Once in drive, no matter what gear you...
