Smarty Setting

[Panther1400]

I have a 06 3500 Mega Cab w/G56, my intake is stock my exhaust has a muffler delete and a cat test pipe, so basically straight 4" from turbo back. I got a 06 smarty, played with it alittle with no load (great product :-laf ) but this week I am hooking up a 10,000# trailer with temps below freezing what setting can I set the Smarty on safely being I don't have an EGT installed (yet). I am in Minnesota, no long hills and I drive pretty easy.

Without a gauge you're running blind, I don't think anyone can answer you're question with any certainty... too many variables... gotta get gauge's, or at least one!!

So you think it would be risky to run even setting one or two with no restiction on the exhaust?

 

[DieselFiend]

I second that, it would be risky and I personally wouldn't do it. But knowing my truck and seeing the temps, even while towing, it's extremely hard for me to get it past 1350. Maybe it's possible on a sustained grade. The smarty does lower you EGT's a bit. You'll probably be ok on SW#1 but I still wouldn't risk it.

The temps are lower than stock on level 1... ... ..... Your driving style has a lot to do with egts. Don't do any lugging and you'll be fine.
