You are in the wrong place if you want to keep your truck stock.
It takes way to much self control to use that Smarty only for the Non-Power-Adding options and not turn it up....

The guy who spoke to you first, and myself, tried keeping it stock. It's not gonna happen if you hang around here any time at all. j/k It's a real ggod thing to have, the Smarty that is, because it can be adapted to almost any configuration you can throw at it. Be it stock or fully modified or anywhere in between. Go ahead and get it and have fun. Oh, and BTW, your items that make it emissions legal are warrantied alot longer than 36,000 miles. Some are covered for 100,000. So it doesn't matter so much as when you start chopping and modding, but how. Either you decide to make it so it all goes back to stock easy like I did, or you go all out and have no plans with it ever going back to original. That all depends on you. HTH.

I just rolled 19k on my 6.7 and everyday I think about mods, I will be honest, I kind of glad I've been laid off for almost a year, it helps keep the rig stock.......I seriously want parts to start falling off, but just cant do it. Its a struggle everyday.

Yes you can keep it stock and unlike one of the other advisors you may save enough money to keep it. (He had to sell his 6.7 and get A used 5.9...)

IF YOU KEEP THE LEVELS AT OR BELOW 5 EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK FINE. MIGHT NEED A CLUTCH/AUTO TRANS TUNE, IF YOU GO HIGHER.

See not everyone has their foot glued to the floor or loves to race anything they think they can beat with a 3 plus ton truck...
