I am getting ready to fly out to Texas to look at the 02 dodge 4x4 shortbed posted in the classifieds. I hear in the 01's and 02's there is some sort of defueling device for the low end. Is this true and if I buy a smarty for it will the smarty get ride of the defuelling on the bottom end? Thanks!

 

actually it just sold!!!! but i would still like to know.

 

Yes and yes.

Dodge put that particular defueling in to save the transmissions, especially in auto transmission equipped trucks.

Smarty defeats it, and can kill a stock transmission pretty quick.

its in the computer programing itself,cuts the fuel back at 2700rpm to save the trannys life,dodge figured it would save a few waranty issues,the smarty reprograms the computer and gets rid of all the defueling issues and give you a nice boost in power too,

 

Smarty downloader eliminates defueling above 2700 RPM and "torque management" in low RPM ranges.
