I have a 04 dodge 2500 that is currently stock except for cold air intake and straight pipe. I used to have a Bullydog chip in my truck but I sold it a few days ago. I been looking at a smarty S-06 POD. I've heard quite a lot of good things about em. Just wondering what I should expect out of it if I get it? Or anything else you'd recommend instead of a smarty?

I'm looking for quite a bit of power but don't wana completely kill my fuel mileage. Does the smarty increase ur fuel mileage when kept turned down like any other tuner?

Most programmers will help in the fuel mileage department however, it really depends on your driving style and the terrain you drive in. So, in short yes it should help fuel mileage.

Driving it decent you could see 1.5 - 2.0 mpg gain. Power from the so6 ranges from 30-170hp

What do you have for trans upgrades

I have an 04 and have been quite pleased with my Smarty POD. I do have a "built" tranny.

Do not expect a lot of smoke out of the 04.......even on SW # 9.
