yup, def in the evic. there isn't any gear option at all. I'll give it a few key cycles and see if iit pops up.

there are 3 "gear" options. key word "actual" when in alfa.
thanks gents.
worked like a champ. thanks for the infoI just turned this on in the EVIC screen setup.
In AlfaOBD
Car configuration change: ECUConfig 4-Actual Gear Display: Yes
Scroll to The screen setup option in your EVIC and scroll up/down until you see Current Gear.
Press the right arrow and scroll up to On.
Press the right arrow to set.
Press the left arrow to exit, press left arrow to exit setup.

I had enabled this prior in AlphaOBD using (I think) the setting below, but never looked at the EVIC display setup after. Sticks between key cycles and doesn't change the use of the lockout indications.

Here's what I did with AlfaOBD on my 2020Im a noob in this and i just bought the AlfaObd how can i even find this in the AOBD ? I own a 3500 Cummins 2020 model. Thanks in advance
Thats designed that way all is goodI don’t have an alphaobd device - I have done the trick to use the - button and put the transmission to 8 and can see the gears. But - I think it loses its ability to go in to eco mode when I do that. Anyone else notice that?
That’s what I do every time I put it in D.I don’t have an alphaobd device - I have done the trick to use the - button and put the transmission to 8 and can see the gears. But - I think it loses its ability to go in to eco mode when I do that. Anyone else notice that?
I may be wrong but I seem to recall the truck going in to eco mode with trailer attached and tow haul engaged. I watch the mileage a lot as I’m trying to get used to the new truck so I pay attention to that eco symbol…Yes, I use the gear limiter as well. And it is mainly to turn off the MDS. Of course using tow/haul mode also turns off the MDS but it also changes the shift points. Unfortunately there is not option in the menu to turn on the gear display. A lot people have complained about it.
I don't think the eco mode always correlates with activation of the MDS. I do know that when in tow/haul the MDS does not activate. I myself have never seen the eco light come on while in tow/haul mode. I wish the truck did not have MDS. I can not believe that it is good for the engine. When it does come on, the engine always sounds a bit funny. Just like how the V6 Pentastar engine in my wife's Pacifica shuts off when you come to a stop (unless we press what I call the A-Ho button), I really really hate these EPA gimmicks!I may be wrong but I seem to recall the truck going in to eco mode with trailer attached and tow haul engaged.

Thanks for the additional info John. I was not sure if there were any surprise tabs that would easily break off. Here is a pic for anyone searching later!You are welcome for sure, glad I could help
"The little connectors". If you are talking about the bypass cable I leave those connectors connected and just tuck the plugs into the top of the kick panel - totally out of the way and there for the next time needed. No need to completely remove.
Edit:
By the way. If you pull off the dash panel piece, that has the headlight switch, that 45 minutes will become 5 minutes. It is held on by push brackets, so just pull it straight back.
