My Smarty smoked like a banshee in Mammoth. I almost set it back to stock. I had Anarchy EFI which was much cleaner but for whatever reason,the ECM started messing up. I had it reflashed to stock and that cured it but now it is a dog.

I haven’t used EFI Live, but I have the Smarty Touch and have been pleased with it. My EGTs usually stay under 1200 even when pulling a 32 foot fifth wheel. I have pulled it from Texas to North Carolina and back and then to Illinois and back with no issues. So, there were plenty of elevation changes and my truck did great with the Smarty Touch. I do think that the Smarty Touch has a lot more capability than the Smarty Junior though. The only thing I don’t like is the amount of time it takes to change the tuning. It doesn’t switch on the fly like the EFI live, but it does have a lot of settings that you can adjust and I have been very happy with the power it added to my ‘03.

I love my dsp5 EFILive tunes from StarLite on my Duramax.

Commenting for support

I did the EFIBYRYAN hardway in my 2010 3500 with the g56. Was an awesome package for the money fully deleting and tuning. The only thing was for the 5th tune you destroy the stock clutch. Ordered a triple plate ceramic/organic to handle the hp/torque and all has been good.

Hey man! Love the channel definitely inspiring with my own third gen. What head unit are you running in your truck in this video? Looks pretty sweet

Great content as usual. I just put a banks economind tuner on my 06 with there I dash gauge. Love it and. Ant believe the data thats availble through it. Now that I have the data im noticing that in tune 3 and 4 going up hill and getting on it a bit i can get the 48re to set off the alarm on the tuner and that shifts back to stock tune to keep the tranny safe. My question. Inb3rd or 4th gear the trany should be locked up. Whatbis an exceptable rpm deviation between the tranny and the output shaft? I ask because the tranny was just rebuilt with a billet clutch. I would of thought that if the 48re stock should be good for 400 hp that i shouldent have an issue with a stock truck and a mild tune. Thanks, all comments welcome

Can you make a new vid on some double dins or different decks we can run on these third gens , the stereo setup you have has been discontinued and I really want something similar. Any help would be appreciated thanks Andrew keep up the great work! Much love from Hawaii

We are getting spoiled with how much content you’ve been posting lately bud 😂😆. I’m here for it!

I have the same truck and just out compounds and have lots of goodies but I was gonna say I used the interior paint to paint all the fake wood panels and the whole cup holder situation around the shifter! Totally changed the look of the interior! What trans you have NV or the 56?

I so want to get custom tuning but I need all the hard parts. I need a twin disk clutch, studs, injectors (not for size upgrade but wear after ~185k), but the biggest change is a turbo upgrade before tuning as that normally requires new tuning for it to run properly.

I have a 2006 six speed 5.9 identical to yours with Firepunk tuning on a CTS three. 5 position switch . I really enjoy it I’m thinking about a compound add a turbo set up . It has plenty of fuel just not quite enough air.

Nobody's willing to stick anything on a dyno and actually tune anything because of EPA I think. It runs amazing I just know I'm putting extra carbon into my oil and out the tailpipe.
