    So I've had the truck about a month now and love it. There are a couple questions I have that I can't find in the manuals, TW forums or on Google. A couple of these are probably not found because they are so stupid, what kind of moron would ask that? Me. I'm that kinda moron evidently. I thought this thread would be a great place to get answers to those things that seem to be "unfindable". With that said, here's a couple really stupid questions I wonder if anyone could help me out with.

    1. 2017 Auto trans. Is there any way to tell what gear you're in other than just the "D" for drive? Is there a display option to show you the gear number the transmission is shifting to? I know S mode will tell me but I want to see what gear the auto is choosibg as I am driving.
    2. MPG. On the entune Eco screen, do the green and yellow graph colors mean anything? As in, green is good, yellow is caution or is it simply the current day is yellow and the history is green?

    1 no
    2 correct, yellow is current and green is history.

    On 1, people will tell you the S mode will tell you, but it doesn't. Put it in 4, and it can be in any gear 4 or lower. I've messed around with ecu codes trying to pull gear info from the OBDII port, but no luck yet.

    BTW, no question is silly, just the people who ask them.

    I think Yellow is current and Green is History, that's the way it seems on my truck at least.
