I've seen at least two messages on other trucks that don't appear on mine. "Instant MPG" and "Fuel Filter Life" I also have some 'blank spots' when I toggle around with various buttons, nothing is displayed.

Are these features that would have been ordered (bought it used) or are they a product of a firmware reflash? I could find a use for both of those although I spend a lot of time pushing buttons as it is.

Is there one of those jump a wire fixes out there?

Thanks

Instant MPG you wont find on a 2005...they changed the DIC all around for 2005...like changed personal/buisness trip to "trip A/trip B" etc... I have heard of the fuel filter life message...I asked my dealer about it but they hadnt heard anything about it and couldnt find any update (go figure).

Why would they get rid of instant MPG for '05?

My 05 has the Fuel Filter Life screen but no instant MPG. It was assembled in May of 05.

Someone had posted earlier on another post that the stealer will reflash the '05's for the fuel filter minder, can't remember where I saw it, but it was a few weeks ago.

Mine is an 05, but not sure of the build date. Just got mine updated yesterday and the fuel filter % is there. I really wish there was a way to get the instant MPG, Jerry.
