Are you getting 13mpg with the Smarty?

-How fast do you drive?
-How much does the truck weigh?
-How much do you idle?

If you have an injector problem you WILL know it. Oil/diesel spewing everywhere, or the truck will knock really bad and white smoke will pour from the exhaust...

I have tried all speeds nothing helps the smartys on three and I dont idle at all I averaged about 7.5 mpg on an 1800 mile round trip with a gooseneck trailer that weighs about 16,000 lbs with load, this was a compact load not much wind resistance and the fuel cost are wiping me out, my 01 would get 12 on the same trip and the same power.

The older trucks will get better mileage than these anyways, CRs have a thrid injection event and way more emmision laws to deal with. Have you tried different software with the Smarty? Do you have a modded exhaust/intake?
