      I agree I have always driven mine in sport mode but after talking to other owners, I realize not everyone does that. So I figured this was an easy way for those people that don’t want to drive around in sport mode to still be able to disable the MDS. Kind of best of both worlds for them. I forget sometimes not everyone’s Scat Pack or Hellcat is a weekend warrior. Sometimes I forget how spoiled I am. Lol. Stay safe out there!!

    The difference though, is that you are down a gear during 45-50mph testing, which can be seen in your video. So not completely unnoticeable having trans in sport mode, but still a convenient trick. Also, not sure how on earth you get over 16mpg.. lol. Hats off.

    Also, regarding the "Custom" mode settings. If you want your exhaust valves to stay open at all times, put the Transmission in "Track" mode. You can have all the other settings as Street 😉

      Explain how you "disabled" the mds mode with the tazer because I contacted them about it and they said it doesn't do it you just do the exact same thing this guy is doing putting it in sport because in track mode with mine the mds kicks in just sport works with shutting mds off

    • @lance648
      @lance648 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ you go through the menu and look for eco, turn that off. Many forums say that even at idle the mds is not on. so if you don’t get it a chance to turn on.. then i consider that shut off. track mode should never turn mds on at all.

    man I just bought a 22 Challenger and I love it so far but the ride is kinda bumpy. I just got new struts on the front and lower control arms for the front but it's still not as smooth. Do these cars just don't ride as smooth? Ive been driving SUV's for decades and this is my first car in like 20 years so is it just how they ride or do I need to do something else?

    When you are in sport mode when doing city driving and you come to a stop at a traffic light; when you get going again will the transmission up shift automatically or do you have to manually upshift with the paddles or t handle?

    • @moparlifescatpack
      @moparlifescatpack  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It will upshift automatically. The only time you ever have to shift is if you are using paddle shifters or you have it in the Auto stick mode, but just regular driving in sport mode it shifts itself.

    do you think the MDS really does hurt the engine? i have a 5.7 in my ram truck but don't have the console to change to sport mode. How can i turn the MDS off on my 2012 ram. I just had to change the engine with 130k miles and they had no clue what caused the hemi tick and then hurt my engine and i dont want to hurt the new engine if possible.

    • @moparlifescatpack
      @moparlifescatpack  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well, from everything I’ve heard about it. It’s whole purpose is to get better fuel economy. But when I see people compare driving around with MDS activated and then driving around without it, I wouldn’t say the fuel savings is anything substantial. So just in my personal opinion, I would rather have all of my cylinders going all of the time having equal bits of where and use Over the life of the car. But that’s just my opinion as a regular car person. I am definitely not a mechanic so I cannot answer from a mechanical standpoint.

    • @moparlifescatpack
      @moparlifescatpack  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Seems like most people agree the failures come from long idle times. So I say as long as you avoid having your car idle for long periods, you are probably going to be just fine.

    I learned a lot from this video about the MDS system. th-cam.com/video/NcDeWXYtozE/w-d-xo.html One thing I learned is that MDS is activated by 4 solenoids that increase the oil pressure to the lifter galley. This means that your lifters are being lubricated with the maximum amount of oil that can be delivered to them, while your engine is running on 4 cylinders. After watching the video, I like it when my 392 hemi is cruising and running on 4 cylinders.

    • @moparlifescatpack
      @moparlifescatpack  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I will check that out. I just can’t get passed the idea of 4 cylinders being used more than the other 4. In my mind I just think “uneven wear” but then again Im not a mechanic. Just a guy who loves to drive. 😂

    • @DJGRoc
      @DJGRoc หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@moparlifescatpack The pistons are still moving. The MDS just collapses the lifters on the shutdown cylinders, so that the valves stay closed. It does also deactivate the injectors on those cylinders. ✌🏼
