Yep that's the new normal.

I haven't explored the options to see if it can be turned on in the settings or via IDS.

Went thru all settings and nothing there either. I really enjoyed knowing what gear is was in.

In drive and only drive, what happens when you press the minus button several times? Do the numbers appear and begin to lock out the top gears?

Good idea, bigredtruckmi. If you need me to step in and help out, just send over your details in a PM. Be sure to include your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership.

Just got back... Just a few button pushes and fixed. Senix you was right but I just didn't hold buttons long enough. At least dealership is 5 miles away.

Glad to know what the fix is. I must have held mine longer and didn't realize it.

Pretty much same same here on a trip last year. Louisville, Ky Dealer I took it to kept it 3 days said there was nothing wrong with it (in spite of using 10 gals of DEF in 1400 mi), since they did not find anything wrong (meaning no codes) they charged me $50 a day for a rental car in spite of my truck being only a couple of months old.

Got back home and they fixed it: They completely erased the ECM and did a reinstall and then installed all the TSB's, its been fine since (last May).
