my trk is running at least 75% of the time with the MDS/Eco light ... so much i think this trk would operate here in the river hills of Pa with a 4 or 6 cyld motor and only needs this 6.4 when tow/hauling stuff ... and when my trk is idling the MDS light is not on
I'm just saying in my very light weight 1500 (1750 pounds of available payload, to give you an idea that it's almost as light as possible), it never comes on unless I am in 7th or 8th and have a tail wind, or if I'm slowing down it will slip on for a few seconds. I drive like a Grandma, I always hold my speed stable and steady.
I'm not sure which of your trucks you're referring to, but if you have 5.7 in a 2019 1500 and your truck is lighter than mine and your MDS is truly coming on 75% of the time, then (given all the user reports we have of how ineffective MDS is) we have a different issue, namely, these engines are built so poorly that there is a significant difference in how they perform, and I find that extremely concerning.
