Instrument Cluster Display Selection

[CHill]

Got a 2013 Tradesman and I noticed that if i setup the instrument cluster to display the vehicle information summary, when I restart the truck it defaults back to the tire pressure monitor page. Was wondering if there was some trick to make it hold the last screen setting when the truck is shutdown.

There is not. My '13 and current '14 do as your truck does.

There are Trade offs? SNOKING

Agreed, same here, always defaults to the tire pressure.

Is this function the same with the 3500 & TPIS?

I think Snoking is suggesting that its only the lower trims like Tradesmen. (Both 2500 & 3500)?

He is......On the Laramie and up, the screen stays where you leave it.

I can't afford a Laramie...... so keep on scrollin! :-laf

That sounds odd. Why would they do it that way? Especially if you can have the same 8.4 system on lower levels.

I thought the 3500 did not have TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), in any trim...

Instead it has TPIS (Tire Pressure Information System), right?

I finally get to pick up my new truck tomorrow and I have not actually seen either TPMS or TPIS function yet. But I gather TPIS is quite different in it's form and function from the TPMS?

So, I am wondering if the TPIS will display with the same priority? BTW, My truck is a Big Horn trim level, with the 8.4 Nav.

That is my understanding too, and I thought 2500 vs. 3500 (TPIS, TPMS) was the only difference in function, I had not heard of trim level making a difference.
