Talking Smoke Screen!

The other night I had a Incident, This guy was tailgating me like there was no tmw so i changed lanes and he just stayed on my rear. There were no other cars on the road. Thats when I found out another big plus of my H&S tuner, I worked the throttle a bit and started pouring out thick black smoke. Needless to say the guy immediately slowed down and stayed off my ***.

That's the only thing I've been able to do to get them off my ****. Seems to get a better response than brake checking them as people don't really get as upset. Try a little two-stroke oil in your diesel, that'll really make it nice & thick.

I try not to do it much cause it not only draws more attention to our polluting diesels, it's hell on mileage. More smoke= less mpg.

Yea I try to (as much as possible) to keep from blowing smoke. I have my truck on the highest default tune most of the time except when towing.
