Ram 1500 Hemi Fuel Mileage and MDS

I was curious what others are getting for fuel mileage on their trucks and if they can tell when the MDS is working? I have a 2006 Dodge Quad cab 4 x 4 with the Hemi with the MDS. I have installed dual exhaust, fresh air intake and a taneau cover. I can not get above 16 even cruising modestly on the freeway. I am told you can hear the MDS when it activates and I cannot. Any suggestions would be great. I also only get 6 mpg when I tow my travel trailer. Thanks for helping.

I have all MSD on my truck and you can't hear it there kidding. I say install a K&N air filter and get a high flow Cat. It will help on your gas mileage.
Good luck! GMC

Magnaflow high flow, Parts Accessories, Car Truck Parts - buy and sell on eBay Motors When I changed out my stock Cat to one of these my truck got much louder so it does help the flow in fact at that time I had a cherry bomb muffler one in two out I had to take it off because it was too loud for me so I replaced it with a Magnaflow muffler now it's mellow jello.

Sorry I want to welcome you here and howdy from TEXAS.
