Freaked me out the first time I saw it. Checked everything to make sure I wasn't burning oil. 100% positive it was SI1 mixed in high concentration. My truck is straight piped though, wonder if thats why I see it.
Do you get any smoke on startup when you do this? I get a little smoke at cold start when I do. Clears itself up when I refill the tank though. And I too notice idle and driving improvement.
Seems like you are doing everything right. Might have to give it a bit of a yank I guess?
Here's a decent video if you are interested.

Ebay might be the way to go.
Drove my truck to work this morning with MDS still active, first time since I can remember not turning it off with gear +/-.
To and from work is about 20 minutes each way.
HATED it! On the freeway wasn't bad unless I was coasting or decelerating but surface street speeds... Good lord I need a...
Well this is embarrassing, I always thought it was fine as I see it all over the forum that guys use +/- gear selector to kill MDS. I do it all the time too.
My poor lifters. Thanks for the info!
Very nice of you! Would you mind adding a picture with a sign per the rules?
We used to have a box of free goodies members used to send to each other. The idea was, take what you need, add something you have an extra of and pass it along.
Wonder what happened to that....
Carrier plates!!! I've replaced three of them now in my truck. 68k miles btw...
Is this just a Dodge thing? I replaced a dozen window regulators in my Dakotas and Rams over the years. Was a known issue...
Thought they would have figured it out by now. Our newer RAMs are still crap. I don't...

I bought my 5100s and dozens of other parts from Nick. He always has great prices and great customer service.
If Quick_Shifter was close to me I'd have him do all the work on my truck. He knows what he's doing!
Those are quads.
That is a lot of condensation in your lenses. I have seen some guys put silica desiccant packs in the housings to help with that but your's is a bit more severe than anything I have seen.
Lots of options to upgrade these lights. If you want to keep the OEM housings, can toss...
Welcome!
That is a pretty truck
A right hand drive RAM is super cool!
Can you share some pics of the interior? Curious how they match up to our left hand models. Radio volume knob on the left or right side?
I wonder how this opt out BS works for me.
I transplanted a donor 8.4n radio into my OEM 5.0 truck. I can't activate my radio or anything through Sirius or Uconnect. Bet they are still just sucking up my data though. My Sirius travel stuff still works by the way. Not all the time but over...
That blazing orange color is not something we have ever gotten a complaint about before. let me do some digging, I don't think it's a user selectable color but it might have to do with dark mode or light mode. Ill get back to you on that

Toss em in the classifieds! Took a couple years for me to even buy one. I am stocked up now so that doesn't happen again haha.
Would have paid a pretty penny for one during covid. Which, to be fair a couple awesome local members did offer to sell me one during that time.
