Have you added any "lead" to your right foot since you downloaded your Smarty??? It's real easy to get a negative first impression from the Smarty after you feel the improved "throttle response" and "low end power"!!!!!!! I have the Smarty Revo. I run default settings on SW5. Works for me. Even with winter fuel I've averaged 18-19mpg running to a fro from Missouri last month.Check to see if your Smarty didn't come with a "Frankenstein" right foot weight that you never intended to install!!! Hehehe!!

If you buy your fuel from a place that sells and goes thru a fair bit of diesel; IMHO, you should never have a problem with water in your fuel. However; if you don't drive your truck a lot, you have a greater risk of "water in fuel" from condensation in the fuel tank. And then what AH64ID told you is correct!!

It wasn't an Allison..............I'm almost positive it was an "Aisin" transmission to which you're refering.

That is so perfect!!!! However; I still don't think it'll get the point across to a fair number of idiots in our society today!!!!!

I picked up my wood stove today from the trucking depot. Heavy mofo!!! Sadly, it's gonna be relegated to the garage; where you see it in the pix, until I get my hearth built. After that I can set it on the hearth and do the chimney thing. But before all that, I gotta tear out the old fireplace unit and reframe and close up the wall it was in.Some pix of the stove.

It's all split and stacked in the backyard now.............but I hear you!! All my neighbors know that I have guns and think I'm a renegade. Plus I have 2 dogs!! No one will mess with it in the backyard. Here's some pix of my ASH!!!!!

Yeah, but I got a lot of ash!!! In fact, I have more ash available to me than I know how to handle!!!! What do you have, Mike???Buahahahahahah!!!!

Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a stroll in town one Day.As they walk, they come across a sign:"Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world.""I am entering!" said Snow White.After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, "Well, how'd ya do?"" First Place !," said Snow White.They continue walking and they see a sign:"Contest for the strongest man in the world.""I'm entering," says Superman.After half an hour, he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?"" First Place ," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"They continue walking when they see a sign:"Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?"Pinocchio enters. After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes."What happened?" they asked."Who's Obama?" asked Pinocchio.

Had an hour to kill today, so I got some wood!!!! Not that kind ISX!!!! Maybe a bit less than a face, I'd say. Yesterday it was under 4-5 inches of snow. It's almost 65* here today!!! Gotta cut it and stack whist you can!!! Here's some pix for y'all.

Question.........What's 6 inches long and hasn't been sucked on for over 3 weeks??????Answer..........Whitney Houstons crack pipe!!!!!

22 days sober..........and counting!!!!! You go, girl!!!

What did you refill with????

Agree 100%. What usually melts on the '04.5-'07 trucks is the pistons due to the narrower injector spray angle, the increased duration, mild pressure increase and different piston tops. AKA, "the blow torch" effect. The '03-'04 trucks had a wider spray angle and the different piston tops. You had a drawing a while back. The wider spray angle with the different tops didn't concentrate the heat like what happens in the later versions. Plus, I don't think the tuner Gods really focused on this short version of the CR's. It was here, then gone almost as fast. This time of year...........like on my trips to MO............if I'm not bucking a strong straight headwind or a quartering into me headwind or driving thru the river valleys; I see EGT's between 500-600* driving through the pancake land of central Illinois running 65-68mph. I like to see a stock truck do those numbers.

I've noticed that Valvoline Premium Blue 15W40 stinks a whole lot more than the WallyWorld SuperTech I used to run. I do have a bit of weepage on my MotorGuard, so I'm sure that helps the smell though. Just need a new O-ring for the MG. I usually replace them when they start to leak.................usually 8-12 or so months. The rubber gets hard and compresses over time.JMHO here; but ULSD with 2 stroke added smells a lot more like LSD did.

Guys, I've got just under 8000 miles on the AT3's now. No appreciable signs of wear. They're much quieter on the road vs. the ATR's. They track better than the ATR's running on the interstate also. I've done a couple 1000 mile round trips with them in the last month; and have another 500 mile round trip scheduled for this Sunday................gotta return the "female dog" to her owner that I bred my "male dog" to. The site wouldn't let me use the proper word......._____!!!!:doh:I've not seen a mileage drop either because of the new tires...........even with the slightly more aggressive tread pattern. Could be the mild winter also. The little bit of snow we've had this year...........much, much better than the ATR's.Just my:2cents:

This^^^^^ Jim is right on. I only gave the tone wheel mod info because someone asked. The Smarty can do that for you without getting your hands dirty and scraped up. I run my Smarty Revo almost exclusively on SW5 default setting. Give good power boost and keeps the EGT's very cool..........cooler than a stock truck. I drive like a old fart also!!

Once you have the tone wheel off your truck............it's the sprocket looking wheel behind the damper.................orient it so that the indexing hole is at 12:00. While looking at it with the hole at 12:00, you want to file out the left side of the hole about 1/8 inch to start. You can file it out enough to where the wheel won't advance any more because you're against the bolts!! Like mine. But I would suggest to do it in small increments. Put it back on the truck, and since you filed out the left side of the indexing hole, you'll be able to rotate the wheel clockwise so the indexing pin is now in bottoming out in the enlarged left side of the indexing hole in the wheel.Be careful putting the damper back on and tightening the 4 bolts back up, as you my move the wheel back counter clockwise.This little mod usually increases "low end" throttle response. Mileage may or may not increase.

Maybe those numbers are coordinates to hidden treasure!!:lmao2:Sorry man, no clue.

Dang, if I sure don't miss the 24v 2nd gen sound. My '99 was a 3" straight pipe. It was obnoxious loud............but I do miss it. The 3rd gen quiet is nice also............probably moreso. Just reminiscing here...............sorry!!! --- Update to the previous post... I've also noticed that since I've gone to Valvoline Premium Blue Diesel oil, that I have a much more noticeable "oil smell" in my truck vs. the WallyWorld SuperTech that I ran for almost 4 years!!!!

I would think most boat shops/marinas would still carry that. I'm lucky here where I live. I can always find stainless fasteners/fittings/etc. because I live in the Chain-O-Lakes area in northern Illinois.

100% normal. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen engines have open crankcase venting. Seeing you have a 2nd gen, do a search here for Mikes vent mod so you don't end up with an oily radiator/intercooler. A hot oil type smell is normal. Some oils "stink" more than others.

x2!!

Mike; it's not gonna be "jammed" in the opening you see.. The hole in the wall you see from the existing unit will be reframed, insulated, sheetrocked and cemented boarded over for my stove install. The floor will get essentially the same treatment. My future stove will sit on a hearth with a back wall surround essentially in front of what you're looking at now. The chimney pipe will be exiting the room vertically from the stove. I guess I wasn't clear on that before. For sure now I have to wait for the weather to break. There's no more screws to take out from the inside!!!!! Once the weather breaks, I'm gonna tear into the chase that's in the garage, so I can remove the fireplace unit. A couple more pix without the glass doors and refractory panels in the box.....................don't know why they're funky colored though??!!

Negatory AH64ID...........Mighty Whitey has had the automagic "high idle" operational since new. That includes pre Edge Juice w/Attutude, and pre Smarty. I wonder if it doesn't have something to do where the trucks were sold??? For example; North of a certain latitude, they programmed it into the ECM. I dunno........some of this has not "rhyme or reason" to it!!!!

I started the demo of the POS ZC fireplace in my house last week Friday. Didn't work Friday because of the 10+ inches of snow Thursday PM and early Friday AM. Here's some pix. There was some real fine Polish-American engineering done in this install!!!
