Any need for a 1st Gen cold air filter?

Sounds like some happy people out there. A BIG congradulations to Marco for his fine work on the smarty. Thanks to Bob for all his help in the communications and updates with us, and his endless effort to answer everyones questions.



A BIG THANK YOU to all involved.





Feedback from everyone is great to help them fine tune the smarty.

simple 2 minute ecm tune and you are done.



It's more like 6 minutes ;)

It matters when your in the staging lanes and have to have everyone go around you cause your waiting for it to finish :(
 
Some of you running a auto transmission with Smarty may want to adjust your T/V cable for desired shifts. I was running a little slack in mine and took up about 1/16" and shifts are right where I want.

The Smarty is working great with the tst and wakes up the Sled puller. The smoke is controllable on sws #4 and #5 and still fun to drive.

I wish there was a way to turn the timing off on the tst and let the Smarty do the timing.
 
Bob or Marco,

Just got Smarty today, Download went great--I will drive in a few minutes. I have a question about ABS and tire size. I had this changed at the dealer with the DRB3 and it was set to 618 revs per mile. Now after the load it shows 32. 80, Does this mean I need to re-enter the tire height with the Smarty and when I go back to stock it will be like before?

Thanks Lance
 
Marco, when are you planning on updating your website to include the SmartyCR programs? Even the one shipped with the Smarty? Would be nice to know that a person could flash it with a "known good" program to ensure you have the latest and greatest software.
 
Marco is taking a well deserved breather for good reason. The smarty is just released and will be tweaked as comments come back from the troops.



Lets give Marco and his family some time to recharge his batteries.



If you been a follower or Marco progress we all know that the month of August basically shuts downs most if not all Italys production facilities.



Marco took his "tools" and laptops and Marco will be here when he hits the wifi hot spots :)



I hope this helps. And Marco will chime in soon :D
 
Marco I really like the 60HP and 90 HP with timing settings but is there any way to get less smoke when pushing the accelerator when taking off or gently passing someone? Maybe you could make a program for us modified guys to clear up the smoke a bit.





Thanks

Ouch. Well, I'm 400 miles from home and just can’t do that drive back with the rig in its current state. Lets hope Marco finds a hot spot soon.

I need the exact same thing. Love the Smarty, I just need a way to help control the low boost smoke. I am running the 30 hp file now. It is very hard to take off from a start and not smoke out the car behind. Not that it sometimes has it's place. :-laf
 
I had to also reprogram my foot. I was use to just stabbing the peddle at the light and the fuel comming on when it got ready. I now have to use a lighter touch and can leave with little smoke and leave quicker. With the Smarty you control the fuel the way I like it.

If marco asks Mark Chapple (owner of TST) - I bet that can be done

I just found out It can be done. I have the older pmcr that can't be upgraded but there is a way to turn off the timing buy changing arround some of the wiring in the timing harness. I have heard the timing is crazy in the 04. 5s and the Smarty takes care of this. I can tell a differance when I run a sw that does the timing. The truck starts with just a bump of the starter and runs smoother and lower EGTs.

ak ram just return to stock no?

I get a P0602 when I try to go back to stock and the truck is not running well at all, like the stock software is just not taking. Smarty itself doesn’t give any error codes. All seems to be fine with it. The truck has been sitting for a couple days now, so I'll try it again this afternoon when I get off work. If I still have issues, I'll give you a call. I don’t have to head home till Friday, so not a huge deal at this point.
