Press the + or - symbol on your gear shift lever and it should re-appear. Are you aware that you can also lock out 6th gear if you want by, pressing the - symbol. Your truck will still shift through the remaining gears automaticaly. You can go back to 6th by pressing the + symbol.

akmedic beat me to it.

There is a good chance that your dealer wouldn't have known how to do it. Mine didn't.

What do you mean "lock out" 6? In auto mode you can down shift all the way to 1 if you want. It's how I keep speed on hills going down

I know that. I just didn't want to ramble on as I was trying help quickly.

My bad. Sorry. Please forgive.

We are cool.

About a week ago I noticed that the gear indicator that used to be displayed on the dash screen has disappeared. I could be wrong, but isn't it suppose to show 1 through 6 in a vertical line down the right side of the display? Mine has vanished. Any suggestions on how to get that back? I kinda like having that when towing especially. I could always take it to the dealer and have them fix it, but I like to do things myself if i can figure it out.

I wonder if we got him fixed up? I never saw a response as to whether or not we fixed his problem.

if you read the first page of responses and the initial prob he said the gear indicator on the right hand side of the display and we all know that it goes away if you hit the button on the shifter
his problem is not really a problem just lack of information from the dealer exactly like me
i learned of this from Wayne on the forum 2 months after i bought my truck all the dealer salesman showed me is how to turn on the sat radio and program stations DUH !
like i couldnt figure that out myself but whatever.

Thanks for the credit Brian but, I was informed about it by someone else here on the forum. Don't remeber who it was. I keep thinking that I'm going to check the owners manual and see if this information is in there.

I have always tried to stay up to date on cars either via magazines or the internet. I am always amazed how much more I know about cars on the lot than the salesman do. Mechanically, I don't know much, but I know what the cars can do. You would think the automakers would have some kind of education program so that the sales team would be able to inform the consumer.

It might be a good idea for the dealers to have salesmen who specialize in selling trucks.
