Archived Smarty "ME" Programming Missing (From Mads) Website?

[JesterTac]

I have a 2011 6. 7L with a Manual; it has been deleted and running ok for about 1500 miles. I had the smarty Jr set on (timing:4) and (SWR:3). I drive conservatively but I prefer very little torque management and these settings seem to be the best for that.



By "running ok" I mean that the engine will buck and stumble violently when full throttle was applied, enough so that it will disable the cruise control--aside from that it performs how I would expect. Typically I only drive my truck to keep it maintained-it's not a daily driver so I have lived with the problem for now. I don't know why my truck is having these drivability problems, but I suspect it might be related to the intake components... Smarty's instructions are vague at best when addressing what to unplug or remove. I am planning on buying a complete intake (glacier diesel power) to try fixing this problem, but its damn expensive and I'm not willing to shell out the money right now.



Fast forward to present day. I found myself in a situation where I need to drive the truck daily for about a month. In an effort to correct the problem with the stumbling I added the newest programming to the smarty from their website but forgot that I needed the non-emissions (Middle Eastern) programming. After downloading to the Smarty and reflashing my truck I have multiple codes and a check engine light because my truck doesn't have emissions components installed anymore. But I can't correct my Smarty because I don't see the ME programming in MAD's website anymore.



Did they get rid of the ME programming?



Any thoughts on the stumbling at WOT? I have the EGR unplugged from the plug on the front (towards the radiator)of the intake horn and nothing else unplugged. It seems that the instructions "might" be different based on what year the truck is.



My truck hasn't gone into limp mode (yet) and I have driven about 40 miles to and from work (20 mile drive each way).



It's a holiday and I can't get in touch with Smarty support but i am sending an email and I will keep trying to reach them.



Thanks in advance for any ideas.



I'm hoping it's something simple I'm missing. Please let me know if I simply overlooked a small detail on Mads' webiste.

Didn't you save a copy of your old program in your Smarty folder on your PC? If not, that's not good, maybe another member will email you a copy. It's speculation on my part, but maybe EPA concerns are why the ME files are no longer available.

 

[JesterTac]

That's a good thought. I don't know if I kept it or not, but I will look.

Found the reason... THANK YOU EPA!

Don"t know the Mads story yet...

Like H & S, I would doubt they would dump support for products already sold... . I spoke to H & S a few days ago regarding tech support, and they are open for that.....



I just looked at the Smarty website... . I'm not sure what programmer you have, but looking at the S-67, there is only one program update for '07-09, and then the '10-12 trucks... . IIRC, it will ask you when you program the truck if you have deleted the DPF... . If you have, it will program accordingly... ... I think the ME software is outdated and been removed. Have you read the installation guide . PDF file available on the update site? http://www.madselectronics.com/downloadfiles/USBDriverinstallation.pdf Also, if your truck has been flashed by the dealer, your current Smarty may be out of date... . the current update for the '10+ trucks was dated 10-2-12... pretty recent, so the dealer flash may not be supported by an older Smarty... ... .



They have updated several links, and also the updater programs that you use to update your programmer..... Try going here and clicking on your model and look for the later update... . http://www.madselectronics.com/download.html Also be sure to check your USB program file on your PC... . that needs to be up to date, too to work with the Smarty programs... ...

There was no information on Revo/ME being merged. I believe that MADS is having a similar response to probes by the EPA, and has decided to not currently offer the ME tuning.



If you didn't save your old ME files I hope you can find someone who will email them to you, or did you save your DPF?



As far as the bucking, do you have the .pdf that describes what year needs to unplug/remove what? I don't have a copy of it, but recall looking at it and it seemed pretty clear. I would guess you have done something for a different year group.

I was able to retrieve my old programming for my Smarty Jr.

Mads sent me this EMail:

Mr X,

We are not currently supporting that software. We hope to do so as soon as possible, but for the time being my hands are tied behind my back in that regard.

Thanks,
Dylan

Thanks everyone for the help.

Well, don't that just suck like a Hoover.....

 

[HHhuntitall]

If anyone's interested, I've got a couple of the Smarty's with ME programming available.

I realize this has been up for a while, but do you have any of the smarty's available

spikemc, you can send him an e-mail by clicking on the user name.

 

[HHhuntitall]

Yep, been awhile, but they didn't last long, anyway.... I had a small number, and they were gone pretty quick.... I trade used ones from time to time, but I've got a long list of people that want them, so I slowly work down the list... I don't do any DPF deletes, unless your truck is not registered and you intend to keep it that way...

Email them or call them and they will give you a link to someone on the Cummins form and he will use a drop box to send you the file.

I've got the link to an ME download. Email me at -- email address removed -- if you need the link for access.

Well, sorry guys. Looks like the Economic Punishment Agency got ahold of that link I had and wiped her clean. My advice to you, BUY A 12 VALVE!!!
