Would an 05 5.9 24v have the star wheel that u can
adjust, if so where at, thanks for any info

 

i dont believe it has one. i no for sure the 12 valves do.

 

absolutly not. only the 2nd gen 12 valves have and AFC with a star wheel. you have to buy a programmer to change the computers settings. I really like the Smartys for the CR's

 

OK cool, I've been tools to go with the Smarty Jr, would
that be a good one for a first timer

 

ide get the the best you could afford. depends on what you like too. to you external gauges do you want to read a screen ect ect.

 

I really like the look of the external gauges, would they have a more accurate
reading than one of the screen setups

 

no not really. you need to call around. and see which programmer suits your specific needs best.

 

I really just want something cheap that will make it smoke,
its not my daily driver so I don't care about fuel economy
its just a toy for me right now

 

oh LORD dont say, just want to make it smoke... you will loose power and look like a TOOL and have ZERO respect from folks that have good running truck when you try and tell them how yours is turned up. PLEASE THINK ABOUT YUR FETTISH.

loose intercooler boots make smoke
bags on air filters make smoke
GOD AWFUL huge injectors make smoke
way to big of a turbo makes smoke

all of which make for a shitty running cummins. a good running truck will smoke a bit but clean up maybe haze at WOT and will be way faster, cooler temps, and a longer lasting truck.

smoke is for PULLERS!

 

first gens have star wheels too abd excessive blacksmoke is stupid
