Thumbs up Smarty

Well I went and did it, I got a Smarty and all I can say is WOW!!! Boy did the truck wake up. I set it on level 3 wasnt to sure how the trans would do and I drove to Naples, FL, 2344 miles round trip, truck did great never missed a beat. Now I got it set on level 5 Double WOW!!! I should have gotten it sooner. So I guess I will be looking for a built transmission soon. I took the other truck to get fuel and it seemed like it wouldnt get out of its own way. Smarty time!

smarty is an awesome beast, soooo many tunes to pick from, and new ones on the way. I am waiting for my tap and drill to install my pyro before I go over the level I am at now, 3 seems pretty dang good, and I can only imagine what the higher levels are like.

Going there I was seeing 22 hand calculated, had the cruise set doing the speed limit no traffic the whole way, till I got about 7 miles from the exit I needed to take and it was a dead stop. Now coming home was a different story 19 hand calculated no cruise, running behind 2 cattle haulers doing 85, a couple times I know those drivers hit triple digits cause they left me, I wasn't gonna run that fast.

I am very pleased with the mpg. I'm gonna try and keep my foot out of it and see what I can get.
