So, I bought my 2010 cummins with a little over 50k on the clock in bone stock configuration. It ran and towed decently enough and the mileage was acceptable but after the addition of a quality steel flatbed it knocked a few digits off the mileage naturally. The pulling power was okay but to me it lacked some low end grunt that you expect from a cummins when you stab the throttle leaving a stop sign.
I've had my smarty jr for a little while now my exhaust from diamond eye showed up the other day. For 259 dollars through summit for a 4inch turbo back system with a muffler I was pretty happy with the overall quality. The transmission crossmember must be removed to get the down pipe off and the V-clamp can be a bit of a pain when you are installing the new down pipe but other than that it was headache free.
As far as how it runs it is amazing the difference. The smarty jr only goes to 100hp and I am running the towing tune which is 70hp iirc. With the extra horse and free flowing exhaust it snaps off the start and will bark the tires from 1st to 2nd with a heavy flatbed and not too much throttle input. I can say that it is now the diesel I think it should actually be!
