I sold my 97 2500 and got a 05 2500. Has 77000 miles and is still under factory warranty. Any suggestions on what i can or should do to the motor? Nothing majos, i'm just talking about maybe a programmer for fuel or other realatively cheap things along those lines??

Thanks

 

Is this warranty the cummins engine warranty or the warranty for the entire truck?


BTW, I think that truck was the better buy than the 04. Congrats.

 

congrats on the 05 purchase,my father has an 05 with s&b cold air kit,boost fooler,and smarty jr programmer.truck runs really well,plannin on takin to local drag strip this year and see what it does.ran in 17 second range in stock form and spinnin tires,good luck with truck

by the way be careful with tuning truck as it can void warranty.

 

Thanks guys. To, "HAULITRIGHT", I am pretty sure the warranty is for the entire truck. I got word that I might be able to go back to the factory for additional coverage for a few hundred bucks. With the high cost to repair these things, unlike my 97, I might find a way to do that. Thats one thing i miss about my 97. Didnt cost much for upgrades.

 

Id get a power puck. they are undetectable and are quite impressive for the money

 

Is the predator undetectable as well? I have heard that it is, but have seen nothing from the manufacturer that can confirm that. i was thinking of putting the predator with the power puck. Any thoughts?? Overkill??

 

idk about that. the power puck is 3 settings stock 60hp and 90hp. i think its perty good especially since it saves warranty

 

I've had a puck and predator stack since I've had my truck, the puck has been sent in twice for repair and not impressed with the programmer, I just recently hooked up the puck again and within a day its throwing codes.

There are better options for the money and unless you have mods to support a stack it not worth the headache!!!

Stick with the Smarty IMO, they claim it is undetectable!!

 

I would get the Smarty. My buddy actually just sold his. On his highway trip to South Carolina. He got 27mpg on level 7 with stock gears, 35 in. tires and a leveling kit. The other weekend we were out hotrodding around all night. I went and filled it up the next morning and topped it off with ~10gallon. We got about 20.5mpg with stock gears, 4 in. lift, and 35 in. tires. I was impressed. I was raggin on her pretty hard. I would def. go with the Smarty. It also wont let you hot rod the truck until its partially warmed up. I wouldnt however drive the truck hard in any level over 3.

 

Well, I got the smarty and I currently have it on Level 3. Everything is stock and that is where it is going to stay till I get some tranny upgrades. Its only got 77000 miles on it. I'd hate to rip out the tranny right now, besides, I don't have the money to replace it if it were to go out. I kicked it down last night to go around a guy and I broke traction, so I think I'm good for a while.....
