Help me pick my programmer

I am leaning towards the Smarty on a low HP level for everyday driving of my 06. What do yall think? Is this the best programmer on the market for these cummins engines?

can i enable high idle and accessor delay.?and i also read i can update the latest TSBs from Dodge with it.

Who do i need to talk to around here, i am ready to purchase?

Anything else i should be thinking about?

this truck get driven everday, all day... so i would like to see some MPG improvements also.

I agree with you as soon as I get a clutch I'll be a smarty owner. Check with Larry at the DTR store if he doesnt carry them he can point you in the right direction.

Will the smarty change the tranny shift points to to make them better? Is SMARTY mainly for a automatic tranny? I can keep it on the 60HP setting, but what is better timing or no timing?

I also would like to own this motor for 200k, so i am not looking to do craxy power.
