I don't like the mds I was wondering is you could disable the mds without a tuner

The MDS in my 2014 Ram 1500 Hemi 4x4 functions flawlessly and I think it gains me a slight bit of fuel economy. I suppose if it had a non-stock slightly louder exhaust (something I am considering), I might not like the sound it makes. Best of luck with it.

I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with mds. It may work well when the truck is newer but the system is wearing out the lifter and camshaft. $1500 fix. MDS sucks. Face it. You need to replace the damaged cam and lifter. And buy a tuner to shut it off
