Tune or Malfunctioning?

I ran across this video on the Tube,

6.0 Powerstroke lope and smoke - YouTube

Is this a tune, or is there something wrong with that truck?? (speaking of the loping, not the smoking, lol).

Cheers,

Guessing the idea behind that is to make your truck sound "cool" at a show or something? Then have the lil puffs of smoke at the same time? Its like your truck blowing smoke rings... Guess I could see that, lol

It's called a "lope-tune" and I am sure his neighbors just love when junior goes out to play in his truck and smokes them all out.

Most tuners won't write those anymore. **** like that is why we have DPF and Urea for newer trucks and this motor has crappy EGR


Big props to dip wad in the video for showing his kiester buddy how to "roll coal"

I think it's ironic that I spend thousands of dollars to maintain my truck properly and I drive it like a little old lady because I'm afraid to break it and these idiots mess around with their's on purpose. $.02

From what I understand, driving the 6.0 hard is a "proper" way to maintain it, yea? Babying the pedal so to speak (like I do) can cause some kind of carbon build up or something I read...no idea what I am talking about, sure someone can clarify all I just said, lol
