Review Of Smarty On Stock 06 Auto
#12
Just a heads up for you guys though. One time I changed the version of software in my Smarty without changing the truck back to stock and it ran like CRAP. Took it in and they reflashed my ECM and all has been good since then. Bob says it doesn't matter, but since that happened, I always put it back to stock and have never had another problem with changing software version.
Maybe just coincidence, but something to think about.

I had a friend who had an 05 cummins with a smarty and the same strait pipe setup i have, he told me he went thru 8 trannies in 18 months because he coulndt keep his foot out of it, but he didnt care, the dealer replaced the tranny no questions everytime. guess they figured the truck was a lemon, plus carl's not a guy to say no too lmao!! he sold the truck and bought a 2007 6.7 last yr and hates it. he has said he is going to sell it and get another 5.9 and bomb the crap outta it. but yeah thats my .02 on the smarty as far having sumthing bad break id say that 8 trannies is pretty bad !

I don't have a CR but the older version with my truck doesn't increase or decrease the economy on stop and go short trips. I can tell you that the computer is totally screwed up with it's display of nearly 50% WRONG!! It says 8.0 L/100km and I see on a good day 14 L/100 km hand calculated.
Sure I have knobby tires but I think it is the VP44 and the injectors doing it to be honest. The most the truck has ever seen is 1280 km on a tank (130 L) and that was completely stock. I could probably get there again but I am not willing to spend the money of fuel to find out to be honest.
If anyone has a BD Super B single I'd be interested in knowing what kind of real world EGT decrease you get with aftermarket injectors like the ones I have.
