[RIDGERACING]

I just purchaced a Smarty for my 06 CTD. Is level 3 Ok for empty and is level 1 Ok for towing 8K? truck is all stock otherwise. Your input is appreciated. THX

Those settings are just fine.



However I used to loose fuel pressure with Smarty on 3 and the EZ on 1. If you plan on upgrading, I would do transmission then fuel..... If not you are good right where you are.



BTW: Make sure to keep the stock tourqe managment.

I agree with BODIE 100% got my smarty a week ago love it. With my injectors level 3 is a bit to much power with the trailer till transmission mods (I can make the tqconverter shutter) level 1 is perfect and helps the EGTs Randy

I don't have a smarty but you should definitely consider EGT gauge, and exhaust mods at the least to control EGT's. I didn't have the money for a exhaust at the time so I simply straight piped mine til I could afford stacks. straight pipe gave me 2 mpg back city

Pyro is always a good idea but my temps are lowerthan stock when I tow on level 1 and about the same as stock on 3.

Just loaded Smarty today. Started at 1 then 2 now on 3 which is where I will leave it till I start towing the 5er(gross 21,300lbs) in the summer. Sure makes the truck fun to drive untill somthing blows up.

Should be ok on level 3 empty, level 1 towing 21k... .

Ran my Smarty on level 5 with Mild TM with no problems. Then ran it for 3 days on level 5 Moderate TM and my TC started slipping.



New TC and VB and level 7 around town is really fun. But you definitely need an EGT gauge for anything above 3.
