Today, as I was walking towards my truck for the day I had to think of which level I wanted to try today. How cool is that!

I picked #4 (Soft Catcher) and drove all day. Seems a little touchy meaning the throttle is very responsive. Great for getting into traffic, passing, ect. But if the pavement was wet it could be interesting.

I was also able to change my tire size and correct the speedometer. It's been 5MPH off for 7 years.

I can also see what other's have said about the stock tranny not liking the Smarty higher numbers. That's a fact, but you can always enjoy the lower number's and the kick in the pants you get when you need it at a lower number.

Any other observations?

I observe that I hate you... Mostly because you have a truck and I don't. At the moment.

Observations?? My truck says it really appreciates getting the ECM program that should've been installed from the factory(SW#9). My tires and fuel budget on the other hand....

Been runnin' an EZ and DD3's for almost a year and the Smarty puts the EZ to shame.

The off-idle smoke is another pleasant surprise

Other than I want bigger injectors more than ever now. Such difficult decisions, so many choices. Which ones are ones are for me. I'm thinking one of the Mach series.

Have you tried unplugging the va and running the odd # SW's?

Wow, I see where you're truck was stolen, but.....Don't drink the Hate-r-aid. The Haterix has you Neo!

It's only a 35 HP box. Wound it make a difference? I thought the box would add power? I can certainly take it off and test it out.

Sorry, it was ment as a joke... Joking about it helps me deal with it. I like Gieco, and everyone else on here.

And I didn't think anyone would read the hatrix post wrong

Back to the Smarty observations, Please.

I cannot believe it! This AM it was 18 degrees (I forgot to plug her in) I used my remote starter and went out to the truck and it was idling at 1200 rpm! Smarty automatically adds the high idle feature! The dealer wanted $200 for that upgrade. To date I have saved $400 (by NOT paying the dealer) and using the Smarty for the updates. I hate paying the dealers anything that should be free.

EVEN LEVEL 2 is responsive and quick. Great for around town and towing.

Does the Smarty effect the overhead MPG on an otherwise stock '02 ETH?
Thanks,

I would guess so. In my case my tires were throwing the overhead computer off quite a bit. We'll see how it goes now that it is corrected.

My "bump" feature is gone now? When I bump the starter my fuel pump pulses 2-3 times and quits. Also, on cold start ups the LP would run for 3-4 seconds and stop. Now it is 1/2 second pulse and it stops.

Anyone else notice this? Can you check and post your results?

I believe this is due to the cold weather hard start TSB, Marco has it incorporated into the software. It's already been posted here somewhere.

My mileage is the same w/ fuel saver as it was before the smarty, but there's been a lot of idleing and a bit of romping too =\
