MDS Delete Wilmington NC — RAM HEMI Cylinder Deactivation Removal

Cape Fear Cams performs MDS delete (Multi-Displacement System) on RAM 1500, 2500, and Dodge trucks and SUVs with the 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI in Wilmington NC. MDS is Chrysler/RAM's cylinder deactivation system — it drops to 4 cylinders under light load, causing similar reliability issues as GM's AFM/DOD. We delete it completely with a custom HP Tuners tune.

Why Delete MDS on Your HEMI?

  • Eliminate MDS-related lifter tick and failure on 5.7L HEMI
  • Smoother drivability — no more hunting between 4-cyl and 8-cyl mode
  • Better throttle response and more consistent power delivery
  • Reduce long-term wear on cylinder deactivation hardware

Our MDS Delete Process

For most HEMIs, an MDS delete can be done with a tune-only solution via HP Tuners — no hardware removal required. For trucks with active lifter failures, we also offer full lifter replacement and camshaft upgrades. Every job includes a custom calibration to optimize your HEMI's tune after MDS is disabled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an MDS delete just a tune or does it require hardware?

Most 5.7L HEMI MDS deletes are tune-only. If your lifters are already damaged, we recommend hardware replacement as well. We'll diagnose and recommend the right approach.

Will an MDS delete improve fuel economy?

Real-world fuel economy on most trucks stays roughly the same or improves slightly because the engine runs more consistently without the constant switching between modes.

Can you do an MDS delete on a RAM 1500 EcoDiesel?

The EcoDiesel uses a different system. Call or text us at (910) 231-5505 to discuss your specific truck and what options are available.
