Hope you got some Gauges

 

I'm working on getting some gauges.Looking to save some $ and get some used Boost and pyro.Unless I get a deal on gauges and pod.

 

Assuming you have the 48RE thats way too much power for the stock trans.
(Ask me how I know, I have pictures too )

You are going to slip the direct clutches every time it goes into drive and the TC clutches everytime it locks. Even before gauges get a shift kit in it and save yourself a load of problems.

 

good call with the jr.

 

Happy with the jr.so far,no complaints.I just gotta get some gauges before I really try it out.

 

I just got a Jr, truck runs cooler even with the added power than it ever did stock stock...I could touch 1600*F and now can hardly reach 1400*F.

While guages are a good idea, I believe the Jr is touted as not requiring guages...but its been a while since I read that...

 

Its always good to know what your truck is doing. Gauges help you get better MPG by letting you know when you are working your engine. Stay under 10lbs psi and as close to 600-700 degrees and you should get your best MPG.

 

JIMBOW, I tried to figure out the best combination for the SW, TQ and TM for the JR, but they all ran very good and wasnt sure what to leave it on. I felt in the seat of the pants that SW3 and TQ default TM default ran the best. I emailed Marco (apparently hes the software writer or designer of the Smarty) to see if he could tell me what the differences were. He said :Re: Smarty Jr settings

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The timing # will not increase the HP by a significant amount but will eventually provide a slightly better mileage. Which timing to use depends upon the fuel quality in your zone! You should surely give timing # 4 a try and see how it does smokewise. If you see no increase in smoke then that means that the fuel you're using is good quality. Should the smoke increase go back to the default timing....

Makes sense?

I currently am running SW-3 Timing-Default and Torque-Default. Is this the highest power output for the Jr? I have been told to put timing on 4 and power will increase along with smoke (which is A-OK in my book), is this true? Last, I now have occasional rattling from the engine when I really get into the throttle, could this be injectors? Will the timing going to #4 help or hurt this? I have a 2007 QC 4x4 with 5.9,48re,3.73 gears, stock tires, aftermarket intake. Thank you very much for any help you can offer! Love the product also!, David
Those are the exact words of the main man

P.S., You will still need gauges with the Jr. You could get away without them but thats crazy. Even without a programmer you should have a pyro meter to make sure that the turbo cools off when shutting down the engine. I will try SW3 TQ default and TM 4 just to see how it feels. I have tried it before and dont recall feeling a difference.

 

Thanks for the input!Is there such a thing as too much timing?

 

Yes there is and its a good way to blow your head gaskit
