slight correction. Smarty does not upload your stock program. It contains the latest version of the stock program for your truck(reads truck details from VIN) and loads that program when you go back to stock. When you program your truck with Smarty, you lose the stock programming present in your truck. When you want to go back to stock, you will get the stock program that is contained in the Smarty the day it left Europe.

Oh *thats* what the candy is for. Is it to late to claim you bought it for fuel economy? Put it on sw1 then show her the mileage then go back to sw9

I thought my Smarty was like one of those Smart Bombs with the Video Camera on the nose and a tiny, tiny wire attached... back to the unit in my house??

Butterfingers sounds like the WRONG message to be sending out. Marco needs to develop a "My Fast Loves It"
Candy Bar!

Phatboy has the best idea!!

Rob - Welcome to the BIG SMILES club! Tell your wife it's my fault... for letting you try my Smarty.

I know better than to even bother trying that. The Boss has a pretty good sense of what makes a car a good car (she likes BMWs, for example) but she's not the least little bit interested in fuel mileage. At all. She really thinks I'm a giant nerd for keeping all my fuel receipts and entering them all in a spreadsheet.

Now if I told her I bought it to spank Bimmers, that'd get her attention.

Cool Hotdram is the man

Rob let me drive his truck today. Dimmit, Rob.
The ride home from work was a little disappointing.
Now I gotta find 650 George Washingtons, maybe the IRS can help me out.

Thanks again Rob.

Jeff
