06 / Smarty - Anyone ever tried reducing power to 1/2 setting?
Is it the Smarty POD for 06 5.9 that has a setting to reduce power to 1/2?

Anyone ever tried that setting, how much fuel mileage did you get more?

Does it increase timing any?


I want more mileage, and timing maybe, I don't want more hp.
Bone stock 06 auto.

I tried running mine at 50. It was a pig. Now I run it on 65, and that's a nice comprimise.

Well, SW level 0 is half power (of stock).

With the pod, you can go way down, so low that the truck will hardly move.
