Well then... KRC has a kit the converts MDS to non MDS for $250. Not including the "special programming" is this just clearing the CEL's? If so counldn't a superchips do that? Any how i'm gonna buy the conversion kit very soon.

go to your local deale and pick up a couple of the lifters for a 03-04 truck or the srt8 cars. non mds ones. a set of mds solenoid plugs, and the lifter holders. gaskets and head bolts to go with the removal of the heads and your about 250 bucks.

that still wont clear the mds from your computer. you will need a b&g tune for that.

I don't see why you need MDS plugs.................just drop in the new lifters and call it a day...........

If you use the B&G it will stop seeing the MDS anyways.

B&G should be able to flash the MDS out of the 06 truck, the computer is basically the same one used in the LX platform with minor changes to the tables, or so I am told.

The KRC fix for MDS is the B&G flash, they just send your PCM to them.

I have run the 6.1 exhaust springs on my truck for a good while with no problems. They are cheap too!

I have also heard you can trick the MDS into not working by using thicker oil, grounding the oil temp sensor on the motor, and by leaving the soleniods attached and just zip tying them out of the way behind the motor somewhere. I have not tried any of these things, so don't hold me to them.

I'm not sure if it's safe to leave the soleniods in place once you eliminate MDS because I am not sure what the oiling is doing inside there, but they are a lot easier to remove than the plastic plugs if you ever have to take them back out! The non-MDS motors use different oil galley plugs in the block that have a longer reach than the MDS motors. I'm not sure if they block oil flow to where the soleniods go, but that's what it looks like? I don't think it would be an issue but it might?

I just don't know about all these little tricks... Sounds dangerous. If i'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right and just take the truck and have the conversion done at KRC. Might be a nice little vacation trip. Well... where is their shop? What state, i live in Arkansas.

We can have your truck put on a transport and delivered to MN. Many of our customers do it.

I would HIGHLY recommend you do a lot of research on KRC (or any shop for that matter) before you take them your truck, even for just an oil change. If you search on hemitruckclub.com, or dodgetruckworld.com you will see exactly what I am talking about.

I own The HEMI Shop in Austin, TX and we are less expensive and we have an outstanding reputation.

Sheradon Performance is also a great shop for HEMI stuff, we work on a lot of projects together, they are just a lot farther away from where you live.

The Hemi Shop and Sharadon are the north/south shops to go to. We work together hand in hand. Maybe we should start a franchise?

gremlinsteve

i would recomend either of those two shops too. hemi shop or the sharadon. go to moparts and do a search for krc. you will see what they are talking about.

plus dont forget, i specialize in top end work on these motors. heads, cams, intake work and timing gears.
but im also a disabled vet so i do not do installs any longer. and i would still recomend the hemi shop or sharadon.

The oil is just going thru its normal route unless MDS is kicked on.................if MDS kicks on, it robs oil to the lifters and they just don't lift.

Not dangerous.

Many cars are running a B&G with MDS written out with NOTHING done to the coils.............they are just sitting there.

These plugs are just an "add on sale"............

I, like my partner Steve, would recommend the HEMI SHOP...........I do not know the other gentalmen.

While Scott and I have our differences of oppinion on a couple of things, we agree on alot............one of these agreemtns is about KRC and that Marty clown!
