Once Smarty has been tried, the ECM stays reprogramed.... even if you take CTD back to stock. BUT, as has been mentioned here before, the Smarty does not remove all of the 01 & 02 automatic defueling program.... just most.


Very interesting...never heard that before. Many would probably love to hear details. Know how it works?
Does the RAD help.... is it needed?

Also, BD literature says the 2000.5's have TQ Mgmt program ..... as well as 03's through 05's. Know anything about this, Paul?

Thanks, I asked Bob through pm's several times but have never heard back. I only loaded a smarty once so I'll see if it kicked it out or not. I know it keeps the high Idle, but if it keeps the Tq managment out for the most part that would be good news!

I can not verify anything I have heard on the manual, because I don't have one, so take this with a grain of salt. The torque management on the manuals is a combination of gear (1st and 2nd), below a certain mph (don't remember what that is), and above a certain boost level (around 20 psi). On a stock truck you can't get much more then 20psi, and on a modified truck you probably are above the mph, before you get to the boost level. Like I said before, it really doesn't seem to be an issue with manual truck. I wish I had more exact values....

I know the 03's through the 05's have it, and the TNT version of the smarty will delete it, and well as the speed limiter. There is a video posted by Bob Wagner on here somewhere that shows the torque management on a 3rd Gen. Not sure about the 2000.5's...

Marco had posted a long time ago about the Smarty reducing the torque limiting on a 2nd gen, but not being able to eliminate it. 60' times usually decrease when using a RAD on a 2nd gen over a Smarty. Unless tire slippage occurs...

Actually, With the RAD...all I loose is RPM and the Speedo can't be trusted...reads low sometimes. Oil pressure is a bit lower too, I think. All I've noticed so far.
I set up the Pulse for two screens....RPM & MPH. Works like a charm. The CEL light will go out after three regular starts (thanks Paul) indicating that no problem continues. Takes some getting use to but not that bad, IMO.

Well that makes sense I guess. With just the Adrenaline my truck was poping off the line at the drag strip. But when I stacked the Smarty it went away. (along with my tranny )

Is this the Tourque managment???

Bjans

yep thats the torque management. mine will only disapear with the samrty above level 3. still there on level 2

JIT

Yep... Smarty on #2 still poped but Smarty on #4 stacked with Adrenaline =

i didnt catch the time on that run...was it 4x4 and boosted??

I'm going to have to load #4 and see if I feel a difference over #2.

thanks guys for hookin me up with the RowJ file... April Fools. Come'on I know someone can email it to me..... maybe it was my email being lame but try agtek@boggspaving.com if someone would be so kind!!!! Thanks -Chris

Are you a Beta Tester??

RowJ

Does it matter?
If he isn't...just means he paid a bit more than we did for the Adrenaline. JMO

Unless Quad has some reason for wanting to restrict the new tune?? Thought we were past that when they started shipping to dealers. AJMO
Am I missing something?

At one point Quad said he didn't want anyone sharing tunes because he was sending specific tunes to specific applications. Not sure if your RowJ tune has different variations for year model truck, auto/manual, or what.

qzilla

I sent it twice and just now a thrid time.

Don't care if he is a beta for this program or not.

The whole reason for not swapping files is when we were trying to solve an issue it is too hard if people are swapping files. I need people to be on the same page so I know I am getting good feedback.

At this time it does not make any difference.

dodgediesel

Was just curious if he was a tester, that's all...
