- ABS tire height updates in just seconds
- Not traceable in the stock setting. Smarty leaves no footprint
- Cold weather 3 Cylinder High Idle is enabled in all softwares
- Reads Diagnostic Trouble Codes in plain text
- No tools required, no fuses to pull
- USB built in for simple updates
- Most complete keyboard in the industry
- Reliable, it works off your OEM hardware
- Programmable Speed Limiter from 25 to 250 mph (in trucks of 2001 and 2002 the speed limiter is programmable in mph, older trucks have only a speed adjustment)
Software number Zero, Half power
About half the power of a stock software. Use it whenever reduced power is desired or when you have to make sure that NO SMOKE is produced.
Software number One, Fuel Saver
The Fuel Saver software. Mpg gains vary, in most cases a + 2Mpg has been reported. Please notice that the timing in this software is rather aggressive. HEAVY TOWING is not recommended with this software.
Software number Two, More Fuel and Boost Fooling
This software increases the fuel delivered by the ECM and does the boost fooling.
Software number Three
Same as software # 2 but timing has been added.
CaTCHER softwares from number : Four to number Nine
The even numbered softwares are identical to the odd numbered ones, except for the timing. The softwares without added timing are intended for use with timing adding boxes. The power gain at top Rpm with these softwares is almost identical. These softwares differ greatly in HOW they get there. Than higher the software number then more aggressive the throttle response from idle speed up. Aggressive to the point that the softwares Eight and Nine can become difficult to handle on slippery roads. Please be very careful when you use these softwares for the first time! It takes some time to learn how to handle them.
For 1998.5-2002 Cummins engines with the VP44 injection pump there can be additional performance found by "stacking" a programmer like this one with a module type box like the Edge Products listed above. Power increase numbers are not given due to the many combinations of parts available on these trucks. On a stock truck with no modifications this unit will add about 60 HP at the rear wheels. The best modification combined with a CaTCHER is without doubt a good set of injectors. Fuel pump wire tapping boxes WITHOUT added timing (Edge EZ) come next if you're after serious Hp. In that kind of scenario the CaTCHER becomes very noticeable in the top Hp range. People have seen gains of over 75 Hp with that kind of stack above all other stacks they had tried before. Stacking with boxes that add timing (Edge Juice & Comp) can be done with programs without added timing, but the results have not been as great.
