Try and get in contact with Bob Waggoner (sp). I hear he has an answer for everything Smarty related.....afterall, I believe he does work for MADS Electronics (Smarty).

Have you started with taking the truck back to stock and trying to "re-download" the software into the Smarty unit again?

I took truck to the dealer to make sure it was all stock, they said it was stock. I tried to load up the Smarty when I got it, I bought it off a DTR Member it still had the old version in it and wouldn't load up same error came up on the screen so I loaded the new version in hopping to fix the issue and still have the same issue.

How do I get in touch with Bob, does he have a handle on DTR or a email or phone number?

Sounds like you do need to call him (especially considering the "dealership thing"). Bob's a great guy....

Good luck!

Here is a update...

I finally had the time to fix all issues and got the new info loaded plus the smarty jr loaded and the truck runs like a champ now, even runs smoother. I was getting 650km to a tank of fuel now I'm getting 900km to the tank which I think is well worth the money for the unit. SW3 TM2 TR3

I have a Quadzillia modual that plugs into the wire harness, is this something I could stack with the smarty jr.?

Thanks Regert

The Quad will also add timing so I would not stack it with the Jr. which also adds timing.

Contact Quadzilla, I believe they can remove the timing from your box...

do you know where Quadzilla is located, what state? I'm in Canada so not sure it's worth the shipping for the power gain off the unit. Not sure if it would even add power stacking with the Smarty Jr.

Might just put it in for the drive home from work and see what she does, I'm only 30km drive.

Sorry guys, my bad. I just grabbed the box and its a 2018 Dr. Preformance predator 111. NOT a Quadzilla......

Will this work good with the smarty jr, I've been searching it and some people like it and some don't. any info would be nice thanks

It will work with the jr. However, whether you want to is the question.

The Dr. Performance is a good quality unit. However it is a very aggressive pressure box. This has the tendency to shorten injector life.

The recommendation would be to leave the Dr. Performance hooked up, but leave it turned off unless at the track or dyno. Don't run it all the time.
