Dash info center oddity
A few days ago I filled up the diesel tank and as usual, reset the two trip odometers, A & B. While doing them something happened. Now there is a partially transparent red box superimposed around that pair of odometers. Yes, they still work and read the mileage and no other function on that 'gadget' is affected. Anyone else seen that problem?

Did you try pushing "OK" to see if that would clear the red box? I didn't see anything in the Owner's Manual that specifically addresses that, but it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work, you can always mention this to the dealership the next time you're inf or a maintenance visit. How many miles are on your truck?

I thought I read somewhere that you could freeze the display and it was red or yellow or something.
That is what it sounds like is happening sort of for you.
I'll bet something is wrong with the programming.

Did you "PAUSE" the tripmeter?
Trip A/B
In this mode, Trip A or B registers the following:
• Trip Time — shows the elapsed trip time. This timer will stop when the vehicle is turned off and will restart when the vehicle is restarted.
• Trip Distance — shows the accumulated trip distance.
• Fuel Used — shows the amount of fuel used for a given trip.
• Average MPG (L/100km) — shows the average distance traveled per unit of fuel used for a given trip.
• Odometer — shows the vehicle’s total accumulated distance. This value cannot be reset.
Press the right arrow key to reach Trip B. Press the left arrow to go back to Trip A.
Press OK to pause the Trip A or B screen/press again to un-pause. Press and hold OK to reset the currently displayed trip information.
