whats the purpose of all that smoke? Does it really make a difference or just an annoyance?

 

[ramhunter9]

Black smoke ... and Michale can correct me if I am wrong ... is unused fuel that burns off
Reason why I tuned my truck to run optimal .. no smoke is better . The guys that smoke are mashing the go pedal and dumping in to much fuel before it can burn off properly .

I can role coal if I mas it and turn my tuner up , but I like to use my fuel for MPG'S not for a smoke show .

 

[LB3711]

i figured so. Didn't think it helped performance.

Yeah instead of blowing smoke in someone face (which is rather rude I think) how about shining a bit of light on the subject.

Yes the 100w are tied both to a toggle switch so I can force them on for light hitching up a trailer in the dark, getting tailgaters off my rear, or just shift into reverse and light up over a 1/3 of mile behind me. (100 watt bulbs)

Just show...

Black smoke is just wasted fuel. But it cause from a lack of air in the cylinder which is usually cause from some with very large injector combo'ed with a programmer/chip box. Ramhunter9 is right the clearer you exhaust the better your MPG's.

Not bad. All I can say is use good fuel filters in that.. Common rail injectors don't like dirt and deris much...

an exhaust brake is an even better anti tailgate device.

I've got a 7% grade out of McCall, ID I got to travel quite a bit I've been because I can travel the enite 4-5 miles of grade and never touch my brakes. People can't understand that... Learn to drive I gotta say...
