Every black cloud blown out by an oil burner pickup has the potential to generate one or more letters to legislators asking that "something be done". More regulations, excellent outcome.
On a personal note, if you were to smoke me out, depending on the time of day etc, I might follow you and beat the daylights out of you.
Enjoy!

I think people who run their trucks in this fashion give all diesel owners a black eye and a target on our backs for big brother at the EPA to home in on.

I agree, don't turn into one of the cummins d-bags. Almost everyone that has a cummins around me puts the big C decal on there window and thinks they're big stuff because they can blow smoke on everything. Waste of money and yep, like above, gives tree huggers more ammo to put more regulations on our diesels and you will annoy your neighbors too. Be the "big ford man" and don't blow smoke and just get a good tune on a SCT so you can "smoke" him on the drag strip.

I think this thread is hilarious - all you need to do to make smoke is screw up the engine calibration so it over-fuels. You can do that with injectors, turbos, air intake. The easiest way is to break the vane unison ring on the turbo so it can't adjust any more, or defeat the VGT solenoid. More expensive is to get a custom tune written. Even more expensive is to modify the engine so it's a legit pulling engine and makes smoke from excessive power... All of these are kind of self-correcting because if you do it cheap, you kill the power in the truck, probably melt the pistons if you do it too often, so you either kill the motor or get tired of having no power. If you do it medium expensive you lose power and run out of money to buy fuel, if you do it legit you get arrested for driving a race truck on the street...
What's kind of funny is that I have an ex-military engine in my bus that was originally supposed to be in an M-110 self propelled howitzer. It's a Detroit 8V-71T with oversize injectors for military power that smokes like an SOB when at full power. I have to watch what I am doing to keep it clean, and I have to look for a new turbo to put in enough air to match the injectors (never occurs to me to put in smaller injectors, somehow...) FWIW, it's 400 hp and 1250 ft lbs of torque from 568 cubic inches...
