curious about actual changes the smarty made on your 03. What did it cost you?....What exact improvements can you identify?... I have an 03 and have been thinking what to get...Appreciate your personal experience.....

The Spade or Autocal's with EFI Live are hands down the best tuning for the 06-09 5.9 and 6.7 cummins. They do not need a V@ or the software to use a spade. So it makes it way easier and economical. They are just as simple to install as a smarty and the efi as stated above is a way more refined tuning that runs cooler, cleaner, you have a selection of almost unlimited tunes at your disposal, will soon be adjustable on the fly with csp tuning.

I had a superchips on before I bought the smarty. And the differences between the 2 are very clear. The superchips was not bad at all, but I got an increase in power, better throttle response and the overall drivability is so much better with the smarty. You have a torque management feature, timing adjustment, or you can run the smarty without a timing change, which is great if you want to stack the smarty with a module or pressure box. And this is just a few ways the smarty allows you to control your truck. On top of all that I gained 2 mpg with the smarty. Paid $685 for it. It's a great overall programmer, and I think you will be very pleased. Hope this helps. :hellox:

How much did u did u pay for and are you happy and did you ad gauges

I paid $685 for it. And yes im very pleased. After running the smarty I wouldn't run anything else. And yes get gauges for sure. EGT and boost at minimum, but I'd also think about fuel pressure and fuel rail presure as well. I have the Edge insight for my gauges and I like it alot. If you would rather do digital than analog it would definitely be something to look into. :tu:

I have used the Predator with power puck on mine and made decent mileage around 22 mpg. on a 04 2500 4x4. Not sure if your looking for mileage or lots of power. I have heard great things about the S06 smarty too.
