Highest setting always seems to get the best mileage if you can keep your foot out of it.

ok well i updated my smarty to the revo software little did i know it already was at that but after spending some time trying to figure out how to update my smarty i got it done question is i noticed theres a update for cold climates and to help with winter fuels? what exactly will this do for my truck in the winter?

i also went and changed my timing to 4 and left everything else such as torque and duration at stock truck seems to get move a little easier as before on level 1 everything was at stock so hope fully having timing bumped up will help increase fuel economy

No I don't have a timing box I just set my smarty on level 1 fuel saver and did my timing at 4 which is what smarty recommends for mileage

So adjusting duration will help with getting a better spray? I didn't wanna mess with torque cause I figured more was bad for tranny and mileage but timing is on max 4 and seems to have made a sufferance we'll see when I fill up speedo is also off so I need to recalibrate any idea with smarty what's best for 265 75 r16 some website said like it should be 31.** but that made my reading to fast so now I'm somewhere around 29.** and reading like 1 or 2mph off and checked by odo and its off roughly .3 ish on a 6 mile drive

I kinda guessed duration was how much fuel my injectors shoot in/how long they're open
