Smart Controller

[JGarcia]

I was wondering if there is ever a time that you do not have your DTT smart controller functioning, ie. , does anyone ever turn it off? If so, under what conditions?



Thanks, JRG

I put mine on 5 weeks ago. (I've had the 91% TC and Towing VB Since Memeorial day last year) I spoke to Vinny at DTT and he said "leave it on all the time, that way the TC saver is active". He said they designed it to be left on all the time. I put an extra switch in to be able to turn it off but after I "tuned" it to my likeness, I think I turned it off twice for comparison and haven't since. Got to say that I'm very happy with the entire DTT setup.

The original smart controller was designed to be activated with the exhaust brake. It was normally in the off position when you wernt using the exhaust brake.



One day a customer from Texas called and gave us a suggestion that did not occur to us as we did not drive that way. I automatically turn the od off when below 50 mph.



He had never driven that way and didnt want to re-train himself to try and drive that way. He did not want to have to turn the od on and off himself. I thought to myself, if one guy drives this way there has to be others that may thinking the same as him.



We now use 2 toggle switches, 1 for the exhaust brake and one for the controller. The smart controller now allows you to control when you want od to come on and off. Basically speaking if you did not want od to come in before 55 mph you would simply set the controller to 55.



It will automatically dis-engage od below 55 mph.

Above 55 mph it will let the pcm take over the controlls.



Now that i have driven it for the last few months like that i cant believe i didnt think of it.



Everyone that i run into with these Dodge rams have different driving habbits, different likes and dis-likes. The smart controller has the adjustability to accomodate them.



Its really wierd because now we seem to be selling smart controllers without exhaust brakes as guys want some engine braking but not an exhaust brake.

I too will be getting one for my setup, I want to delay lockup till 60 or so, right now I just use an unlock switch. When I get it to traffic I unlock it and let that great fuild coupling work for me, thanks again Bill.
