As strange as it might be at this point I think there must have been a computer change around 22/23.Y'all got me into experiment mode after reading a bunch of these posts.
My ride is a 392XR, shows Aug 22 build on the door tag and was delivered to the dealership in early Oct 22. I picked it up right away. It was with some '23 392XR's when delivered and has the "many bolt" beauty rings and the metal dingdong safety thing hanging off of the passenger side frame...I believe that piece of metal was documented as a '23 change.
With my wife as co-pilot to watch for MDS light, I drove a 10 mile loop yesterday without OR+ activated, loud exhaust active. Mostly flat roads with some traffic , taking it easy and several long gradual downhills. MDS came on a dozen times.
Drove same loop today, similar traffic and speeds, with load exhaust, OR+ on and traction control activated. No manual shifting on either day. The MDS light did not come on once. I tried to baby the rig to see if I could get it to light...nope.
I'm retired so I get to do this kind of shit on weekdays
Would love to understand why we are having different results and what causes this Twilight Zone experience!![]()
Now we have to determine if the actual programing of or+ was affected or just not allowing MDS. I like or+ but rarely use it because of the very aggressive downshifts. That would be useful off-road but as much as love to get on the 392 when I see a red light ahead that I am familiar with and know I will end up stopping there I get off the gas and coast in. Cant really do that in or+ because of the downshifts.
