Why is it some diesels blow more black smoke than others. My buddy has a 02 7.3 powerstroke with stacks that make storm clouds when he stomps on it, i took my dads 01 7.3 farm truck out for a spin and it barely makes any smoke. That's what i like most about diesels is the sound and the smoke!
Its also increased turbo lag, decreased power, excessive EGTs (hard on the engine) and a waste of fuel/money and its starting to be outlawed. it wont be long before its against the law right across north america because everyone and their dog thinks its cool to smoke out everything in sight...
A little smoke here and there is fun and all, but alot of people get carried away with it and thats why we are starting to see guys getting tickets for it!
If the smokers piss off enough people the cops will start giving big money tickets for illegally modifying engines.
This will ruin it those of us who want the extra power but no smoke.
Had a guy do that to me once, one lane road, couldent pas him, driving my girl friends jeep with the top off and her duaghter in the back seat. young punks, followed them to a gas station and just about gave em a shot in the head.
I had some douche in front of me in a 2nd gen 24v leaving Baytown after the diesel drags last year. He kept fogging me out the whole way down the road. He had two ghetto 7" tips out back like a real race truck!
I passed him ON the railroad tracks and then he would never get anywhere near me.
we pulled onto I10 and his big hot rod smoke machine couldn't catch up to my clean burning twin turbo 04. so gay
my '06 will black out traffic, but I do my best to keep smoke to a minimum. it's just trashy and is the reason they're getting tighter and tighter every year on emissions and smog on these things. thanks for the help @55#0les!
Smoke is going to ruin diesel hot rods. Every hillhack fool thanks it's the best thing since sliced bread. Have I smoked someone out before? The last time I can remember was fogging someone out that almost caused me to get an a accident twice. I only did that because it was better then the alternative, smoking him with lead, or running the fool off the road.
Guys, trust me I enjoy a good smoke show...but understand the greenie tree huggers troll these websites and use these comments to prove their point and sooner or later we will get shut down...

there's a LOT funnier... I don't have the intellect of Beavis and Butthead
