I am a smarty cheerleader and Bob has gone so far out of his way to help me with things I can't seem to go with anyone else. I know h&s has more options and can shift on the fly etc but I have been running smarty for a few years. I have installed minimaxx on many rigs and like them. like the functions. they are nice.
I guess it comes down to me being old school and wanting actual gauges to monitor.

I'm about to pull the trigger on my 2010.. I told myself I would wait until 30,000 miles but at 14,000 miles I hate knowing what is happening to my engine.
For towing (14-16K) which tuner would you recommend?

Had a Smarty on my 06 and loved it for 70,000 miles. When I got the 2010, I wanted another Smarty but they werent out yet so I went with H&S Mini Max and have been very satisfied

Don't have any real mpg numbers yet but the display has gone from 11.4 to 17 in about 20 miles. With diesel around .25 more than gas and the horrible mileage this thing was getting it really doesn't get driven much. My chevy half ton gasser gets the daily driving lately.
I had to pull the trigger on the deletes or this truck was going to get traded with only 5000 miles on the clock. I think I'll keep her for a while now. H&S really wakes these things up!!!!

Tell me about the Overdrive soft ware!! I almost got that when I ordered the rest. I am Pretty sure I will be changing the Converter soon so I was waiting till I hear what the guy building the converter has to say. He my have a vavle body upgrade so i did not buy the overdrive stuff. Can you change the pressures for each shift?? or is it pre set??

Started considering a half ton after this trip. But if I can get my mileage up with the full deletes then I can keep my manly truck. So I am very interested in your mileage numbers.

Payed $1348 plus shipping for all the stuff. Should be the same as a 2010 as far as I know. Should pay for its self in about a year based on 4mpg gain and 15,000 mi per year. quicker if I gain more(it looks like I will) MPG or you drive more.

This is exactly where I am at right now. I bought mine last year as my toy hauler/car hauler. It has gotten where I can hardly afford to feed the thing. Drove it on a short 600 mile round trip and spent over $200.00 on fuel! Started considering a half ton after this trip. But if I can get my mileage up with the full deletes then I can keep my manly truck. So I am very interested in your mileage numbers.

So I am very interested in your mileage numbers.So far all back roads I am up 4.8 MPG's (and I am not babying it). Today I will rerun my highway test with the cruz on over the same road I checked it on before the delets. I will update latter today.
