Default tuner help?

looking at a new exhaust for my 08 2500, the exhaust has a muffler but it is a dpf delete exhaust which requires a tuner or controller and the software to delete the dpf. my question is what is the best option for my truck? ive looked into the smarty jr sj67 with the 3 different modes. i will mainly use economy mode for fuel mileage but im sure it will be nice to have higher setting for when i tow. Please HELP!!!

I had an H&S Black Maxx in my 08 and loved it. Have you deleted your EGR as well? Renton is still King County, right? Don't you have emissions testing?

I'm not sure what the Smarty will allow you to do - don't get me wrong, MADS offers excellent products and great support from what I've heard - but I don't think they've enabled as many other things.

With the H&S products, you can disable/enable DRLs, disable seatbelt minder, enable high idle, enable fogs with highs, and a bunch of other settings.


Plus, if you've got a stock (auto) transmission, the Overdrive software is a godsend. I don't know about you, but I couldn't stand the factory shift points. Shifting into 5th and 6th gear at about 1200 rpm is just stupid.

You sure about that? A quick glance at their website doesn't say anything about transmission tuning on a 68rfe.
