Are you guys still happy with the JR. ? I'm sitting on the fence getting ready to by one but was waiting on feedback from you guys. I had a Quadzilla zxt but took it off because it had to much timing rattle. Hows the rattle with the smarty jr? Are you getting more MPG with normal driving?? I figured that its Feb. now and all that bought one at xmas time would have results by now. . Would appreciate the feedback thanks, Brian
 
I like mine. Have had about two months now. Haven't tried the 100hp setting yet.

It doesn't sound bad on the 40hp setting, which I have run the majority of the time since I've owned the Jr.



I did put gauges on the truck before the Jr. , and I do believe EGT's are lower. Haven't towed with the Jr. yet, that will be the real test.



Good luck in your decision.
 
I have had mine since X-mas and I'm still very happy with it. I have had a solid 1. 5 mpg improvement. At first I didn't see the improvement since i was to busy playing but now I've been able to control my foot more. I really don't noticed any timing rattle.
 
I loaded one on my '03 on Sunday... Mike at HotRodDiesels let me borrow it. The 100hp program ran well, very little smoke.



But now that the latest shipment of regular Smartys came in, I'm getting one of them! :D
 
I have now tried the 100 horse Smarty Jr and the latest version of the regular Smarty. The engine is quieter w/ either Smarty than with the stock program when just cruising around
 
Have had mine for a month. Very happy with it. No timing rattles. Towed my 16k fiver on the #2 setting. BIG improvement over stock. Exhaust gas temps are lower than stock just as they said.
 
I've has mine for two months and love it. I had a Sr. on my 05 but never used the high settings so the Jr. is perfect for me. I noticed a little more smoke, power, and better milliage one the #1 fuel economy setting when i updated from ver. 5. 03c to 5. 03d. I was using the #2 setting before the update because I felt the #1 program was "peaky" but after the update #1 seems to have better low end before the turbo really gets spooling. Maybe they are fueling it heavier with the new program but the miliage is a little better than stock and a whole lot more fun to drive. I have never felt the need to load #3 as i have a lead foot and an auto. My $0. 02's
 
Just had my JR for three days but I am lovin it. I am on the mid. (towing) setting with 70 HP + and I have not noticed ANY increase in noise. Allmost no smoke under hard accel. quicker spoolup and about a 1. 4-5 mpg increase. Madds got my vote!!
 
i started out with quadzilla max mile modules on three of our 2006,s i bought a jr and tried it for a month, i ordered two more and pulled the quad's off, super product, my origional call was to order a smarty and bob talked me into the jr he cares about his customers
 
Love my Jr. Haven't tried the 100HP setting yet because there is no need really. Plenty of power on 70HP. I don't hear any timing rattle, very little smoke. Great product!
 
Marco and I thank you for your support of our product line up and I really appreciate all the feedback that I receive from our customer's.



Thank you very much.



Bob
 
Had mine on for over a month now,100 hp setting from day one.

only get smoke when i romp on it:-laf very happy with it.
 
Thanks for the feedback, called Bob Wed evening got my JR. ordered and on the way should be there when I get home from work, can't wait... . I'll leave feedback after installation thanks again, Brian
 
I see it says stock for now on your signature. It depends how far your for now will eventually go because you might out grow your smarty. Ive had mine since xmas and enjoy it but wish I had the smarty senior. I will be getting a senior soon plus a tst
