Im looking to get a programmer and everyone is saying to get the Smarty.Is anyone running it that could tell me what they think about it? I want to make sure and make the right choice..


Also I need a cold air intake and i have heard things about the TRUE FLOW XDi COLD AIR INTAKE SYSTEM. What do yall think about that particular one and is anyone running this intake?


Thanks Jason

 

I have a 5.9 and got the Smarty and I am nothing but pleased with it. Just make sure you have the $$$ to upgrade your tranny. Even if you don't have the $$ if you are not hard on the truck you will still have fun with it without tearing stuff up.(Just use the lower settings) As far as the intake, I don't know anything about that brand. I have a Quadzilla monster intake on mine, and had it even when the truck was stock and am more than happy with it. These days, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the intakes on the market. Just stay away from K&N. I wouldn't put that on my tractor and there are many more that would agree with this. They just don't filter out the dirt.

 

i agree i had just a K&N filter in my 01 with a juice with an attitude when i blew the motor (may she R.I.P my poor baby) and i had several people that the filter was probably more to blam for the motor blowing thatn the chip.

 

 

do some reseach, that other CUMMINS FORUM has a lot of complaints about the smarty on the 6.7. ive already sold mine and a coworker is selling his also. been have some problems withthem

 

talk to cbrahs, he was part of the beta testing for the smarty, he swears by it but he can answer all the questions you have.

 

Don't worry about what they say on that other forum, they have a habit of only allowing what THEY want and sponsor. The Smarty for the 6.7 just came out and they may still be working out some bugs. Some people just buy it on the fly and DON'T EVEN REALLY GIVE IT A CHANCE. But I garauntee(sp) that if you buy one you will have support if you buy it from a certified dealer.

Yes, PM Chris and I am sure he will answer any questions that you might have.

 

You can't go wrong with the Smarty or XRT. There have been a couple of minor issues with the Smarty, but Marco is aware of them and already has fixes in the works. Both MADS and H&S have very good tech support as well.
Chirs(CBrahs) will be able to answer any questions you might have about either, not to mention make you a great deal on whicheve one you decide to go with.
As for cold air intakes, I've been very happy with my S&B.

 

a buddy of mine has the smarty. he has it stacked with something else i cant remember. he loves it. he has the AFE stage 2 intake and says its great. i run the afe on my 01. he got that done and straightpiped with the dpf delete and all. he says he gets about 28 mpg on the highway with it.

 

The MP-8 makes for a good stack with the Smarty.
