OK, I see that there are a lot of different performance chips available and I also see from this forum that the "Smarty" seems to be the favorite choice at least within this group. I have not checked out any other groups to see if there might be another preference.

What I would like to know: is the Smarty indeed the best choice and what makes it the best or favorite one from so many to choose from for the dodge cummins.

Currently I have a VW Golf TDI (the poor boy’s diesel) with about 160,000 miles.

My future vehicle will be a Laramie Ram Crew Cummins (a real diesel) 3500 SWB long bed with 3.73’s. The mod’s that I plan to do are: intake and exhaust upgrades, the deletes, performance chip, fueled primarily by biodiesel made by myself (I understand that home brew biodiesel when made properly is far superior in quality then the commercial made stuff) and cost about $1 to $1.25 a gal to make. I will install a second tank, fuel lines, and filter all heated so that I can use the biodiesel in the winter as well as summer, and I also plan to build and install a HHO generator.

I may be dreaming but with all the mods and using a HHO generator I hope to be able to get somewhere around 30 mpg.

I plan to get the truck this July, so I have until then to build the biodiesel processor, the HHO generator and plan exactly which mods to buy. Hopefully all the kits and parts for the 2010 will be ready by then.

 

all depends on what you want to do with your truck

 

Increased mpg's which would include doing deletes, aftermarket exhaust and air filter, etc.
