ok guys i just bought a smarty from some guy that my buddy knows and the vin is locked? does this mean that i cant unlock it without removing it from his truck? or is there a way to do it?

 

maybe call bob wagner and see if he can reprogram it

 

Is the truck that it's VIN locked to still around?

If so, set it back to stock, and you should be OK to load it to your truck.

 

thats the thing i dont think the guy has it anymore. i suppose i could try to get my money back

 

you might be able to get it fixed, but the sad thing is there have been folks selling them purposely locked, the seller keeps the tune, the buyer gets a deal, and somebody has to suck it up....... Not cool

 

well i think i can just get the money back just called the guy he said he had no i dea of it and is fine with getting the money back to me looks like its the smarty pod!!!!!!!! im buying it right now but before i do is there any issues with these on an 03 ive read a lot of posts some about popping and such but what do you guys think?

Should i get the jr or the sr im looking for maybe 100 more hp that is on the really high side as i dont want to buy a fully upgraded trans and such i just want a little bit more than stock but with lower egts and i hear installing a smarty will lower the egts on a stock truck correct as long as you keep it on the lower settings.

 

oh and i know what everyone will say (get gauges) i plan on getting a fuel pressure gauge to make sure i dont run the cp3 dry at anytime but i dont like gauges all over the place. that is what my other truck is for!!!

 

Hello,

If you just want 100 hp on the high side get the Smarty Jr. Save the dough and be happy with something that will not get you in too much trouble.

yeah that is what im thinking i know if i got it at my fingertips im gonna want it. also is the smarty jr better on egts? ive read posts where people said it was

 

im gonna get the sr pod for the price if i need it down the line ill have it thanks guys

 

Get w/ Bob W, I'm sure he can hook you up for a small fee, if you got a good deal, then it should be worth the trouble.

 

sorry to many stolen smartys on the streets ,

 

well its a shame that you are stuck, but maybe this will start putting an end to folks purposely selling locked smarties, keeping the tune and buyer hoping to get a fix .

 

But the thing is Mike, the dumb EDIT doing this screws themselves too! They wont be able to use any other downloader on it and theydont even realize it!
Man I tell ya there are some EDIT out there.....

 

What sucks is when your truck gets broken into and they steal your smarty and you have it load in the truck .
