Yes clear up when warm . Smokes black when I'm on it but clear otherwise

I agree. That why I'm sitting on the fuel only setting that feels good to. . Yesterday I pulled eisman canyon at 80mph right at 1300temp. Could be my imagination, but she seems to rin better after. I'm headed to finish a dig, cruising empty. Not that I want to but I may beat you to 400k. Already almost 3k into 300 I've always thought white smoke when colds normal now I'm starting to wonder. It's not burning coolant has about 250k on a inframe. I haven't turned it up. It's a 365 big cam Cummins

I hugged the smarty in this morning then unplugged it I've already ran all timing settings with all sw#s. Knew I was towing today so didnt waste my time adding timming. I've ran even and odd #s without timming. It could just be my weird but dyno but sw6 seems different from 5 and 7. Timming removed from both. Its probly just me. Towing about 11k as pictured it smokes like a freight train from a stop. I've ran timming st 3 towing and 4 empty. It still smokes alot when I get on it. Towing today I was watching the boost gauge at about 10psi it lights and starts whistling. Then at 18 or so it kinda you can feel it go dead. Then it spikes to 30. Doesnt seem to do it every t I'll me accelerating. I think I hear a flutter to Maybe its loaded up to much fuel not enough air as it goes flat then picks it up. This machine is 10k. So towing about 16k I'm scared to run much timing towing When she had wwite hips

2000 3500 no power,sucks fuel like it's free
Truck looks good. If truck really has less than 100k I thi k I'd sujest a quad programmer first. If truck had 200k I'd say I injectors first. That's a good looking truck Mopar man has helped out the dodge guys alot. Many have helped him to.

I've ran 5 with all timming sets and factory timming. To me fuel curve down low seems different than 6 Timming at 4 makes a weird power curve hard to explain. I've had a weird whistle since adding the quad boost fooler. Wondering if I have a boost look. I get a weird whining whistle from drivers side of motor under light boost just over 10 psi that turns into a screaming whine at 30psi. I dont seem to be down on boost it makes 30 easy and 35 pulling well did make 35 I haven't got on it hard enough to see 35 in awhile. Wondering if a small boost leak could cause smoke and weird power curve with added timing. I wont have time to dig into the possible leak until the weekend sometime. Ahead of my truck is a 12v that we haven't figured out why the fuel solenoid is intermittent. I haven't been in any other 24v to know if mine is whining like its leaking or just moving air. I think leak since it seems to be on the driver side away from the turbo and filter. I'm happy running sw6 for now. Just like how it feels down low. I think it's the only catcher setting running tourqe at 4 sw5 I think has tourqe at 3. To me it feels like that. I may try sw5 I dont care for changing timming or tm #s in revo settings. I'l like being able quickly drop timming if I'm hooked to a trailer. I've forgot to drop timming few times while towing pretty heavy. That's mostly why I decided to just run sw6 with factory timing Sw 8&9 tm6 sw7tm5 sw6tm4 sw5&4 tm3 I could be wrong on these fiel curves. To me it makes since that smarty has a different curve on 6 and 7. If they had the same curve one fuel map would be skipped. May be why I keep ending up back on sw6 Not sure what sw2 is timing 4 with I think. Thanks for helping you got me thinking on this again

Default no timing. I think I like 6 most because of how the tranny feels there, cant tell much if any difference with timing added timing om 4 though does feel weird. Just tired of changing numbers and seeing no change. Just gona drive it set how I like sw6 no timing d5 I am happy with it it's making more power off idle. Truck actually makes more power then I need. Smokes timing added or not. Sac injectors maybe? I have that bd manifold, maybe I should get hx40, some 5" pipe and do what I like doing, weld up a 5" down pipe to tie into my 5 " exhaust. Might put head studs in to. Turbo may clean things up but also may push power more into head more into stud area. Back to tinkering with exhaust. Looks more finished now. Hits ground instead of car beside me .

I say shut the site down. If advertisements and banners dont make it self sustaining, let it go.

Smarty s03 today :)
I ran sw8 all last rank. Towed for quite abit and got 13.999 mpg. Dropped back sw6 I like how it feels . I'm towing to much to be changing timing all the time. I noticed if I bump speed on freeway 5mp up. Cruise psi drops to a solid 5psi. Hoping that equates to better mpg

New to me truck
A horse cant bite you if it's got a treat in its mouth. I dont know if you can give it treats or just TLC but I bet this one bites back

Brakes, power steering
My first thought was vacumn pump pr brake booster whatever its called

Alignment after ball joints?
You might adjust the alignment on your seat decline. Ball joints will be a job they will kick your *** make you cuss and bleed to. I rented a ballpoint press so glad i didnt buy as the cheap 50$ balljoint press set was just about useless. I end up welding up a set of sleeves to press out the joints. I noticed some of the more expensive ball joint kits have sleeves that might work. Put pressure on press and tap ear around balljoint vibration is your best friend when it comes to pressing or removing press fit parts. Good luck and have fun with it. Ohhh how did you notice ball joint had play? A good way is to jack truck up so tire is a few inches off the ground. Then stick digging bar under tire and pry up . I didnt notice play in my ball joints while driving until it was severe and theyd pop and crackle making turns. Even severely worn they never affected tire wear. Its been quite a few years since I had an alignment done. I set toe with a tape measure giving slight toe in 1/8- 1/4" this slight toe in is account for the tierod get longer and shorter slightly as suspension cycles and to account for warn steering. The idea is it has zero toe in driving down the rd. I'd only mess with castor if truck is lifted and now seems to wander all over the rd and might not return steering to center very well when coming out of turns.

Transmission rebuilt; now skips 3rd gear
Great info. Still check that TV cable

Transmission rebuilt; now skips 3rd gear
TV cable not adjusted properly. Might be to loose causing quick shifts under light throttle. I'd look at TV cable first. I haven't done at mod nit I have gone through and cleaned all battery connections. I also haven't check for ac noise. In 15 years my alternate is one of the few things I haven't had to replace.. I have had battery cable issues and it caused all kinds of weird shifting Check terminal block below driverside battery for losses connections. I gues that's the grid heater. Those were loose causing me issues to. Good luck

I'm what those but dyno mod feelers. Hmm that didn't sound right

That's awesome. I dont have alot of time, logging fuel is not high on priority. Though logging dirt loads is.

Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
Been virtually no change with smarty. Or settings but I'm not able to run consistent. This tank I hauled 10k a few times in stop and go traffic last tank I didnt nit still got 500 on 28gallons 500 plus a few miles for 27-28 gallons. I haven't measured the tires I have on. Smarty is set at 33" . These should measure 31 32 just haven't done it yet. I'm burning a tank every 3 days so I should be more on top of it with real numbers. It's not super important though if I go empty at 400 miles I'll no something's up

Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
I never said I'm getting 20. I have got better then 20 but not while packing 2k om the truck. I'm getting 17-18 depending on conditions of each tank checked. Towing alittle mostly empty but always 9400lbs. 3rd gear is perfect for slow rd towing 65 and under. I definitely cant fo 80 in 3rd. I'm sure my ratios of my mpg is off but there is no deciding that it's working very well for me. I wouldnt doubt your numbers are off to. I'm sure I could get in your truck and like how it's set up just fine. Only thing I wouldnt like is spinning so many Rs om the freeway . Well that and shifting gear. I love getting out of our big truck and just pushing the pedal down in my pickup.

I was wrong about 8 smoking less. It smokes as much if not more than the rest. 47re is shifting alittle sooner but still in the range I like. Going to leave it here for a tank. I've been getting right at 500 miles on 27-28gal of fuel by right at I mean few miles over. I always rd down on everything that costs money. And rd up on things that pull in money. That way you expect to pay more but you earn more, make since. Ohhh I have speed limit set at 85 i passed a car that was riding my blind spot. And was doing over 90. Not sure if it went over because i haven't recalibrated to 32" tire or speed limiter just doesnt work.. Smoke is there but manageable. A faint haze most the time and black when on it. I got on it from a stop to merge with eagle rd traffic broke tires loose fir aways. Truck is pretty quick. For being heavy. Can feel it lift the front up alittle when leaving a light alittle harder than normal. Not noticing any weird power curve. I think before on odd settings or any setting with timming I was noticing were it maxes timing. No added time throttle is smoother, feels more liner not noticing a change or dead stop An hx40 would clean up smoke but be laggy compared to the hy35? This hy35 spools quick. I think I'm kicked off after this reply so I'll see you all at the circus tomorrow have a good night

Oil Pressure Running High
Good thing you didnt change gear ratio and swap to higher bar injectors for that fix. maybe the straw to blow off valve was plugged and new oil cleared it out.

You guys crack me up.

Smarty s03 today :)
I think sw8 is smoking least of all the tunes I've tried so far. It should be max fueling that smarty is capable of. Itl go black then instantly clear up. 7 sustains smoke much longer I think 6 smokes less. Hmmm no timming advance smoke less. I'm not smart enough for this smarty

So many tow mirrors to choose from.
Ok you sold me on the 4th gen mirrors. Did you lose your antenna after you used it to unlock your door

Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
At 65mph 3rd gear locked I'm at 2400rpm. Being able run 3rd to 65 makes the range between 3rd and fourth gear very usable and adjustable between roads and driving conditions. I'd imagine small tires and 4.10s st times may feel like a one speed tranny. The more we talk about this the less I'd want 4.10 and small tires. I did get my 65mph reading with 285x70x17s wich I just mounted wich are slightly shorter than my 285x75x17s Picked up a second set of aluminum geniii wheels with kinda decent cooper sst pro tires on them. I wonder if mike can make it to Ontario without shifting gears. Lol kidding. He does run on the river and mtn rds where speed is often reduced Normally run smarty on 6 or 7. Though right now its on 8
