Smarty POD Rocks
I met Marco over this last weekend, played on the dyno a little, and installed the new Smarty POD on my truck! Marco is a great guy, and that POD; WOW, is it nice. I get to keep my TNT/R turned up and ready to go without excessive smoke!
I've had some unfortunate experiences lately where I've had my Smarty turned down to something like 3... but really wished I had it on 9. Now, I can! I really like the fact that I can cruise around, and bump it down to around 22 to 30 on the freeway- hopefully that might net a little better mpg. I did drive from Riverdale back to Riverside with the firm intention of testing the mpg. Unfortunately, I met another Dodge (Nice truck: Lift, edge sticker, and great exhaust) on the road going over the Tehachapi grade and decided to "play" a litle. I was up to setting 99 in two clicks of a button and push of the throttle! It was great weekend, and worth the trip! THANKS MARCO!!!! |
Thanks for the review !

Being a newby to the dodge truck and tuning I'll have to ask this question. What is the Smarty Pod and how does it differ from the Smarty? Hell, I guess I'll have to start at the beginning, what is a Smarty and how does it work? I've heard of guys piggy backing it, piggy backing it to what. I've only used the Edge attitude on my Ford so I don't know to much about the tuning.
Thanks |
Smarty is the standard programming box, and the Power On Demand (POD) is an update (if you bought the Smarty already, or an option if you buy a new one.
The Smarty is a downloader that overwrites the ECM's program (like the Bullydog Triple Dog or PMT). Usually, people will stack a downloader with a box. The box fools the truck's ECm, or affects something else about the engine. Usually the box makes up for some kind of shortage that the ECM/downloader can't or doesn't affect. The new thing about the POD is that it makes the tune adjustable. Two button pushes and two throttle pushes, and you can go from a low, smokeless power setting to top power. Previously, the Smarty downloader took about 3-5 minutes to download a new power setting, now it is on the fly. |
I have the PoD also... S/N 002... ;)
I'm glad that I held out for it. |

Wagner and Associates : Current Owners 2003-2007 POD Update
New board for $199.99 |
Believe you have to send yours in so they can update it. But it's still better than paying $800 for a new box.
