This is a step-by-step video of how to tune a ram 1500
and how to turn off MDS. Via a Diablo tuner. I learned, not so quickly, lol, that the Diablo T1000 was able to turn off MDS without a custom a tune. Thank you CUnit1981.
I hope you guys can learn from my experience, so it'll be much easier for you, if you decide to do this.
I just started Instagram if you guys want to check it out....

Is it true that disabling MDs with the tube is bad for lifters because it won’t lubricate properly

@30-OTT6 27 күн бұрын

That the problem in general. It’s oil starvation at idle. Deleting and removing MDS wont stop that. To fix the oil starvation problem you need to have the idle rpm raised to 700 so it will create enough pressure to properly feed the heads with oil.

Hey Brian, with a muffler delete most guys turn MDS off because it sounds like a limp biscuit when four cylinders shut down....lol Sorry, I don't know how else to explain it. I'm sure you hear it now. You can hear a definite difference in the tone of the truck. Definitely doesn't sound like a Hemi with MDS on.

I happen to buy my tuner used on the RAM forum. Got a pretty good deal on it. I think brand new they run about $350 or $400. Any brand of tuner usually can do this job. I'm not familiar with any other ones besides Diablo though. You would have to do some research to see if it would be able to do what you want. But if you don't want to do any research I used a t1000 and you could just follow this video step by step and get the same result.

ok so mds and eco are the same thing cause my understanding is the eco that changes you're vehicle to 4 cylinder mode, I enable this and I get a green eco light when im driving at sorting speeds. I was looking at other videos that shows you to mess with the gears up or down to disable the mds but I never seen that green eco light was so ever with the mds on or off.

@bigdaddyshouse 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Marco, there is no green leaf or eco light that can be turned on and off. At least not 2014 to 2021 classic that I know of. It is literally always on unless you manually go through the gears. You have a switch? What year is your RAM?

Hey... Not sure if you have the answer to this but does disabling the mds with the tuner cause and ill affect to the lifters? I have heard that they get the highest oil pressure to them while mds is activated? Im putting in a reman that has the newer hellcat type lifters and just trying to get the best lifespan out of this engine. To expensive to swap out in the GCherokee with the 5.7. Thanks for your time.

@craigvelardi7420 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I've been manually turning off the MDS because of a bad rumbling from the engine if it's on when switching from 4 to 8 cylinders. But now I've read that with the MDS off, oil lubrication to certain cylinders is diminished and can cause lifter problems. I'd like to know if this is a problem or not because I don't want to ruin the engine, yet it runs crappy with the MDS on. I had my truck checked out three times, twice from the dealership and they felt and heard what I was talking about and the answer I received was that it was just the characteristic of the truck. Not acceptable, because the truck runs crappy with it on, but if turning it off will ruin the engine, then what the heck?

The tuner itself will work however, for a 2017 you'll have to swap out the PCM . After 2015 ram locked the PCMs so they couldn't be messed with. you can go on diablo's website and price out how much a PCM swap would cost. I've heard it's kind of pricey....

If you get around to doing the V6 eFan swap on your V8, there is room for the mechanical fan and the Efan. That is how I have my 2013 ram 2500 5.7 hemi set up. I dig your videos on that radio. I have one coming in in January. It’s the 4 gig memory and 128 gig internal storage model with android 11, hope I can get to do everything you did with yours and mine you can clip off your V8 eFan wiring, and use that to extend your harness for your V6 eFan. Are you are going to need about 8-11 inches. Once you get close to 175,000 miles I would look at replacing the lifters. I had ❤ seize on one of mine and it ate up my cam.

@bigdaddyshouse Жыл бұрын

Hey Josue, I almost got an efan off a 2009 but the deal fell through so I never really looked into it again. But it is something I've always wanted to do. You know that radio still works as good as the day I got it! I can hardly believe it myself. It's the old PX3 model and it still runs like a champ. It's got to be over 4 years old now. I thought for sure the summer heats in the winter colds would have rendered that thing useless. But the only scars I have to show are some small cracks on the plastic basil. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for the feedback brother!
