Fast guide to Smarty-JR software levels


The horsepower settings have a modified "Torque
management" ( TQM ). The throttle response is greatly
improved but is set to a safe limit. With "Safe" I mean safe for
your tranny and rest of the driveline.


* SW # 1 : 40 Hp increase
* SW # 2 : 70 Hp increase
* SW # 3 : 100 Hp increase


Tested on stock trucks on a Dyno.
Stock means just that. Stock! Even the air filters were stock...

The trucks were S T O C K, even the wastegate settings!
We checked the "baseline" ( the stock truck Hp at the rear
wheels ) twice in a day in order to be sure about our findings.
The above declared HP numbers are all rounded down to the
closest number.

No trace is left in the ECM!
I herby CLAIM that SmartyCR is the FIRST AND ONLY
downloader that does not erase any of the stored data in the
ECM. Smarty does NOT leave any electronic footprints in the
ECM or any other electronic module in the truck. Smarty does
NOT set ANY codes once the ECM is set back to stock. Smarty
does NOT need to have fuses pulled.

No matter what the competition claims , in one way or another
they're ALL detectable.
Smarty is NOT!

Yet, Smarty can not do one thing for you. Fix what others have
broken. Smarty can not restore a key on counter that another
downloader has erased . Smarty can not fix VIN# troubles
caused by other products. If your Check engine / ABS light is on
because another product has screwed your ECM, Smarty can
not fix it, the other guy HAS to...

ABS / Speedo recalibration
The tire height can be adjusted up to 44" in increments of 10
tenth of an inch in just a couple seconds. Of course, Smarty
needs to be VIN# locked to the truck in order to get into the ABS
adjustment section.

DTC Code reader
The name says it all.
You can read and erase codes. Codes are displayed also in
plain English. That's old news by now. Smarty S-03 was the first
one to provide that utility, others found the idea to be a good
one too.
( Smarty does erase ABS codes too but does not display them )

ECM update speed
Faster than anything else on the market! Again we've done our
homework on the protocol. Less than 5 minutes. Three times
faster than a Star-Scan diagnostic tool or competitor.

We have developed our own bootloader in order to not have to
pull fuses should an update become interrupted for any reason.
All you have to do is to turn the key off / key on Smarty does
everything else on it's own.

Updates
The CaTCHER softwares as they are today are only a starting
point. Expect major news in future. We’re for your feedback,
opinions, likes, dislikes...
We will make Smarty do what YOU want, TOGETHER.

Pros: 1.5 MPG increase, it was -7*F so probable could get better
Cons: Run on performance and driven hard with an auto transmission might be too much for the tranny.

Reads codes, adjust for tire size, 40, 70, 100 Hp settings.
Really wakes the truck up, throttle response is instantanous. Much more responsive than even a gas vehicle.
Lower EGT's even in the performance setting. Lowered cruiesing EGT's approximately 100-150 degrees. Have not towed with it yet.
Very smooth power delivery all the way through the rpm range.

I rated it a 9 only because there's always room for improvement no matter what the product. It's the most perfect 10 I have ever experienced over 9 years of diesel performance and I've used alot of different company products.
