EFI Live vs Smarty vs Mini Maxx
 

Trying to decide on the best programmer. All I want to do is EGR and DPF deletes, not really interested in increasing power, all of my driving is long haul highway and I just want to max out my mpg and get the longest life out of my motor.

I found the EFI and Smarty kits on ebay with all the delete parts for ~$1300, but the old style Mini Maxx with the necessary parts is $2300. Why the increase in price? Is this an issue of getting what you pay for?

Here's the links for the Smarty and EFI programmers.

Efi live and never look back. mm is good stuff. I'm not sure what it truck is but if efi is available that's what I would point you to. If you decide on efi let me know I have a buddy who does efi.

Also, I just went to H&S website to look at the mini maxx because I've heard that you have to buy the DPF unlock code through them and the only unlocks that I could find are for overdrive. Do they even offer that unlock anymore?

Is EFI plug and play? When I'm in town usually it's only for a couple days and I don't have time to take it to a shop. Is it something I can just wire in, do my deletes and get back on the road?

Sorry, it's an 07 6.7

I just bought a MiniMaxx from:

H&S Race Tuners - DPF Delete Tuners

It requires no unlock codes.

The EFI Live is a programmer. The unit plugs into your OBDII port, uploads the stock tune from the ECM, saves it and downloads the (EGR DPF) supported delete tune. It takes me about 5-8 minutes to go from one tune to another with my EFI Live Autocal. Once the new "tune" is loaded into your ECM, you can unplug the EFI Live. So far I have been EXTREMELY happy with mine.
I did some research on delete supported programmers, I originally was going to go with the Smarty with the ME files (ME means delete supported) However, the EFI live has WAY more tuning options, and the trusted guy i bought it from talked me into the EFI Live..
I have seen 25.5 mpg on my overhead display. I was driving 55 and re-set it while driving. When i fill up at the pump im consistently getting 20 mpg!! way better than my original 15 with DPF and stuff!!

EFI Live is a great choice for your truck for the price. Give us a call and we can work you up a complete package deal.

Efibyryan definitely. Had smarty and switched. Efi now has csp5 switchable tunning and i gained 1mile per gallon by switching

I got an EFI live w/ trans tune and had them build me a tune for my usual load of 2000lbs in extra weight in tools that I carry around daily. My only problem so far was I didnt have all my shit thrown in because it was in an other state. IT WAS TO MUTCH TRUCK FOR ME! l:scare2: I really had to pay attention to my left foot. After I rigged up it was still really capable. You couldnt go wrong with an EFI.
