just bought a 2001 dodge ram 2500 4x4 withthe auto matic all i have done is a 4 inch stright pipe and k@n intake and also have a scotty smart fuel sys. on the way.i tow bout everyday a 6x10 enclosed tralier maybe 4000lbsmax ihave been wanting a chip to put in but i am thinking about the smarty or the new edge juice they say they are comeing out with what would yall do wait till the edge comes out or go on and get a smarty??? i also have no gauges so what is my best bet??

gauges, gauges, gauges

then consider power add-ons.
how much power do you want to end up with? way easier to reverse build the truck if you jknow where you want to end up! Smarty, hybrid turbo and some Mach4 injectors got Bob Wagner to 400hp.

i am just guessing about how much power i wnat i would like have any where in the 300 range i dont want to much i just dont want to have to cahnge every thing i want it to still be an everyday driver know what i mean.

If ya wait a little the juice/attitude will be out and youll have all the gauges you need plus some sweet power.

The most obvious minor gain will be with a Smarty. The fueling it gives down low is not comparable to anything else I'VE used. I prefer separate gauges, just cause I'm not convinced that the ECM readings are as accurate, but that's just my preference. If you do decide to get a little more, go with a 60-80hp set of injectors (or nozzles) for another great bang-for-the-buck.

Just dropping a line to let yall know I'm running the Beta version of the Juice/Attitude in my 2000. It's a sweet little unit, I don't have a compass/temp gauge in the console so I installed the attitude in it's place. Been having fun tearing it up. 0-60 times have dropped drastically, at level 3 I dropped 4.2 seconds. Still a little chicken to let the hammer fall in level 5 with the auto. The functionality is great and the performance increase in level 1, is very noticeable. I'm expecting to load up the truck shortly and see how it does under a load. First tank was wheelstands and smoke. Only have 100 miles on this tank, so know mileage figures yet.

Sorry I'm so late on this reply, been away at work.

Anyhow, no I wasn't running the Comp, allthough I was about to buy on eif Edge hadn't gotten the Juice mod complete.
