I was moving some of my equipment home today and had a 6.4 service truck pass me for a Tree service company. Kinda surprised me when he dumped out to pass and blew a cloud of black smoke

Not too many here in California Bay Area. Living here kinda takes the fun out of everything. I've only seen one. On another one with black pipes, I bent down to take a look just to see a DPF.

Around here, if I see black tail pipes and I have the opportunity, I don't mind talking to the driver and asking what tuner they're running and I have yet to have a person say they're not tuned/deleted. So around here, odds are pretty favorable for black tips=deleted.

Also I noticed alot of construction 6.4 trucks have black tailpipes, but I wouldn't think they're deleted. Most company trucks try to stay legal.
Having said this most hot shotters run 6.7 RAMS and most of those trucks are deleted.

I'm surprised that many are running deleted... I know of two 6.4 trucks that have black tailpipes due to cracked ceramic DPF's.

Yeah I saw one a while ago. Had an NRA sticker, a US Army sticker, a Viet Nam service sticker, A 282nd Assualt Helicopter Company sticker, a Tea party Sticker, a Line X logo, a Titan XL sticker, a Diesel Site sticker, An FTE sticker and an H&S logo on the back window, and on the bumper a Don't tread on me sticker and a Herman Cain for president (slightly faded) sticker. The tail pipe was chrome and the insides were black as coal. Yep, saw it sitting in my shop just awhile ago.
Well the OP said we should have some fun.
