Hello everyone,
I am a new member, and new to the diesel community. I just purchased an 2008 with a 6.7 and it smokes more than I would like (prefer as little as possible). When I test drove the truck the previous owner just did a DPF delete since his DPF was getting clogged. That day, I do not recall any smoke when driving the truck. We agreed that he would finish the job and tune with SMARTY JR. which he did, and I got the truck a week later.
When I took the truck home it smoked a great deal, and was tuned with the 40HP setting. I really do not want to increase power on tuning, I am just looking for it to run well (no CEL) and stock setting. I did research and set the SMARTY at (0 standard). My understanding is back to stock tuning except deletes still in place?
So, trying to find out what is causing the black smoke when I accelerate? It did appear to get better on the stock tune, but still too smokey. Can you run a DPF delete and not have smoke? Do I have to get the DPF back in to get rid of the smoke? I read that maybe an injector issue causing me to run to rich, or just not enough air. And SMARTY version is 6.05. Oh, and I checked my intake sensors MAF and IAT and they are both clean...no soot.
Thanks for any help you can provide!!
