I thought I'd start a thread on new features of the WK2 SRT8 that we can post and share with others as we learn things about our new rigs (maybe it can become a Sticky). No flames or opinions, though. Just add to the list even if it was mentioned in another thread so its all in one place.
I'll start with a few things that I've learned from my 5 days of ownership:
If you use the remote start on a cold day the seat heater, steering wheel heater and rear defroster will automatically turn on to prep your truck before you get in. If the weather is warmer those items will not be turned on (I'm not sure what the temperature limit is that activates them, though).
On the highway, if you don't want the ECO (MDS system) to come on you can push the shift lever to the right to set the tranny to 5th gear. The ECO will not come on when you're coasting or crusing, but you'll need to remember to use the paddle shifters to down shift for passing, etc.
The seatbelt chime can be eliminated using the same method as the WK1.
