I am looking into purchasing the smarty for my 06 ram, I am not looking to purchase a new trans right now, just want a little extra mileage. If I was to run it on level 1 the 30 hp setting, would I gain some mileage with out thrashing my tranny? Also I pull a trailer once or twice a week, the trailer weighs 5k lbs, I would reset it back to stock every time I pulled the trailer, does it hurt the truck or the smarty to reset it constantly? Thanks.

IMO, you could leave it on L1 and tow all you want. I get the best milage on L7, but w/ L7 you could tear up a tranny if your not careful.

you can run 60hp on stock tranny.

I agree. Run level 3 and drive with some amount of sanity, and you'll be absolutly fine.

My SMARTY should be in any day. Should i run timing or no timing?

dodgezilla04

are you planning to stack it with any module that increases the timing? if just gonna run the smarty, run the odd numbered programs unless you hear timing rattle, then change to the next lower number(even)

wreedCTD

my truck is totally stock with the exception of the Smarty and the 305s. I do not plan to run any other module.

Hopefully it arrives tomorrow!

then give it level 3 and have fun.
go any more and you'll kill that auto, especially with 4" larger od tires.
getting a pyrometer first right?

wreedCTD

which torque management should i go with?

dodgezilla04

mild, for your trans.

wreedCTD

what about stock? i have no money for gauges right now. i will take it easy. how much different is the mild vs. stock tq mgmt?

wreedCTD

is moderate even less tq mgmt than mild?

dodgezilla04

no gauges? i have seen 1400* when towing with my stock turbo and no fuel mods. i would not run it without a pyro at the minimum. you will need a trans temp too if you are going to tow.
TQ Man, not too much, better safe than sorry. stock would be better then.
do that trans, then go wild.

wreedCTD

i tow no more than 2 jetskis and some 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. no hills or anything and no more than 50 miles. i will get gauges in the next couple months.

Well, the load is light enough, you will probably be just fine... but......... my experience forces me to say gauges before power young man.
