I have cut the wires and it works. Against the firewall, above and to the right of the valve cover are two connectors. One has a white connection lever, the other a black connection lever. The black harness has the torque management wire (white with black tracer), the white harness has the speed eliminator (white with orange tracer). I cut the white with black trcer wire and then started truck. It started and ran fine only the tach and speedo did not work. I verified by doing a few launches in my driveway. I then tied into a toggle on my dash and have torque mangement off or on. After I purchased the smarty and loaded it, the torque management is the same as if the switch is off. So, yes smarty does remove torque mangement. I will probably remove the toggle and wire back in the way it was from the factory. I talked with Dave from here. He goes by fishin2deep4u. He was a huge help. I am sure he will chime in sooner or later. I believe the mod will work on 2000 through 2002 trucks with autos. It should work on some 2003 and 2004 trucks also. If it does't, just solder the wires back together, no loss, no foul.
