Talking smarty high idle

i was just reading in the 3rd gen firum and it sounds like the 3rd gen smarty has a high idle feature built in,is this true?when will it be a download for the 2nd gens?im not talking the -10 3 cylinder drop thing,there was talk a bout a feature when your truck idles for more than 3 min with the ebrake on it will ramp up idle to 1200 even when warm,any new on this?

Think this has been tried on another thread without any real results I would sure like to have this feature so after an idle of 5 or 10 min the engine would crank up to 1200. Maybe I could pay a little more to have that feature added for incentive's sake??

We already got the first set of updates and now the CR trucks are getting theirs. I'm sure updates will continue as time allows =P

Us 2nd Gen guys have been forgotten it seems..... I could use a less smoke option on mine. It's hard to drive around town even on SW4 without creating a cloud.

There's always that half power option. But what fun is that?

You can always go back to stock. Its just the smarty programer that advances your injection pump timing. You can hear once you put it into the computer. It help to give you back that earth shaking torque monster at lower rpm's/ low boost situations. Either fluff your throttle more and do some sand bagging at the lights or go running around in stock form. Faster spooling turbos help to a point. You don't get throttle response for nothing and quick spool-ups. Sometimes its cool to smoke.

I would also like a lower smoke option. I thought that as time went by
the programs were going to be refined with feedback from end users. Us
light towing people (less than 8000#) need a level with slightly more timing
and less fuel at low boost levels. I had a plug in box that did perfect , but
wanted the adjustability of the Smarty. The plug in box matched the
Smarty in throttle response , spool up, and over all power , with alot less
smoke , so I know it can be done.

Anyone done a body lift?

I have an 01' 2wd, and am considering a body lift. I love my truck, and really have no use for 4wd. I really hate the way it sits, though. I'd like to level it, then put on a body lift. Has anyone else done this? You 4wd guys have plenty of other options, but us 2wd guys are limited by the front controll arms. I was looking at the Performance Accessories, but was wondering how thourough it was.

I know this could be a sore subject, so please don't throw a bunch of negative comments out there or make this a bashing thread.

Thanks!

Dieselcamper - What box did you use before you got your Smarty? I need a little more power for my 02 HO to pull my 10,000lb travel trailer.
Thanks,
Jack

I'm running 285/75R16, they rub on my side steps. I bought mine from dodge. I hate to put a lift on just to clear the side steps. The truck is already high enough for me. The bigger tires make the truck feel bouncy. The braking has drop off slightly too. Funny thing is everyone told me this would happen.
