smarty jr

I just ordered a smarty jr, should arrive tomorrow or monday. I will be keeping my truck stock except for the programer. The main reason for the smarty is to calibrate my speedometer to the oversize tires I have on the truck. Hopefully I'll get a mile or two better fuel milage so the programer will pay for itself in a few years lol

True Dat' Rockcrawler!
Calibrating my tires was a simple subset advantage of getting the Smarty! Can't wait to hear your thoughts once you fire into the throttle a couple times...
Enjoy!

SW3 and a few good runs and he will forget about calibrating the speedo!!
I had mine at least a month before I even looked at doing that!

OH MY! I like it a lot! I have calibrated my speedometer and put the smarty on the performance setting (all defaults for now). I really don't notice any power gains since I drive pretty conservativley but it sure shifts nicer. (maybe because of the correct tire size?)

Try putting your foot down more than 1/2". You will like it and there goes the fuel mileage - but you'll sure show those young punks in their ricers what it is all about.

I havent floored it since installing the program, but I do occasionally have to let ford or chev trucks see how a Dodge moves.....

I don't bother with ricer driving kids, they're mostly just punks anyway. This is a very small town and I don't want to get a ticket playing with punks.
