MDS Delete

I have a 2019 ram 1500 classic that dropped a lifter and chewed up the cam. I ordered new non mds cam and lifters also I put the mds block off plugs in. my question is what do i need to do with the timing and where do i get the mds turned off at?

MDS has to be disabled via tuning software like hp tuners, what do you mean by timing?

I believe it has vvt timing so i have read that it needs to be locked out. is there a way to drive the truck without spending the money on the tuner right now? would it run if I pushed the tow haul button every time i started it

You can still use vvt with mds locked out. Removing VVT would actually cost you power and drivability unless you're installing a huge cam like 230-250+ @.050's

Your 2019 classic is a 4th gen not a 5th gen.
On 5th gens setting gear limiter to 8 prevents MDS.
No idea if the logic is the same on a 4th gen.
