Smarty and tow numbers?

[ECappleman]

Can I get some real world numbers?

Has anyone had this long enough to give me some towing numbers? All I am really hearing right now are power and smoke on the street.

EGT and MPG numbers would be awesome.



Thanks.

Eric I did post mileage increases for towing. A hotshotter will be doing mileage testing when he returns from vacation on 8/14



yogibear should have his smarty by now. yogiibear is always driving Oo.

Eric, I'n not sure which truck you have the SMARTY on. I have one an a 01. 5 2500 QC 6spd. I tow a 16ft construction trailer loaded with tools and my 30 ft camper trailer. Both trailer weigh between 10k-11k. I have not been able to push the EGT's above 900 even going up the mountains leaving it in high gear. I just towed my camper to Maine and back, all secondary roads and averaged 16. 9 mpg hand calculated. AND the power is just soooo much fun... Hope this helps. By the way, empty on the interstate with cruise set around 75-80, I get 19. 8 mpg.

Out here in the west, where we have REAL mountains, and not "speed bumps", I get about the same 16+ MPG with the Smarty towing our 24 ft fiver (14,500 GCW) as I did when all I had was the Edge Comp. Biggest difference is, I have lots more power on tap with both the Smarty AND the Comp, plus the behind-the-wheel adjustability of the Comp to enhance the Smarty's programming.



Empty, I hand calculated 22. 2 MPG with the Smarty, in mixed STEEP mountain driving mixed with level freeway and city driving.



It really mostly depends on WHAT Smarty setting you use - and how you control that right foot! :-laf

So if I understand correctly, you uplaod whatever program you like to run and if or when you need to go in for service just dump the stock program back in?

Bob,



Can you change it on the fly? I know it doesn't have a moniter like the outlook but with the bullydog you can still plug it in and change it. Is that possible with the smarty?



Thanks

Sounds good Bob and thanks for the reply.

But I was hoping for more than one example. Every truck runs different.



Thanks again.
