Default Ecoboost Display Gears

I just noticed today that my gears show up on the left side of my display. I went through the pictures on here and one some pics they do and some they don't. Check the real world MPG thread for pics I swear I do not remember this on the display. Anyone else notice this? or is it all in my head.

If you hit the "+" or "-" button on the shifter, they will appear. Every time you restart they will disappear. some have reported a reflash will keep them on all the time, and some later production trucks already are like that.

I press the + until they all show, if I've been playing with the - button. Otherwise just press the + once. If I press it one more time they all go away.

Very cool. I've wanted this display since I first got the truck.

The latest PCM calibration does make the display stay on permanently (until you turn it off), I just got it. Tell the dealer to just flash the truck anyway...

I've tried the + once and then + again, but it didn't work for me as far as staying on permanently.

What else does the flash change besides the gear shift display? Everything on my truck works fine so I am kind of leery of a flash especially if it might screw something up.

Thanks
