What for?? If your truck is tuned correctly it should not pour smoke out of it besides it's not really good for our environment just, running around pouring smoke out everywhere especially on people driving slow or walking down the road.

Uhmmm...yeah...
This probably is not the forum for that kind of activity.

This is where you go to find out how to fix your truck when there is a problem...
We dont typically think too highly of the "look at me" mentality of "rolling coal".

While "rollin' coal" may sound cool while saying it, and Dodge drivers dig dissing the ricers... this forum is dedicated to healthy trucks putting out power - not plumes.

Why do you think you want your truck to smoke ?
If you can answer that with our making the entire diesel community look bad ill answer your question.

I know everyone here is guilty of rolling coal but they didn't build there trucks just to go running around town blowin smoke

This is one of the reasons why all the new diesel have this DPF/DEF crap on them

Rolling coal is just not a good idea. When I see those videos of guys smoking out some person walking or driving a car next to them it does nothing but make people think negatively of diesels.

To answer your question, when black smoke is coming out of your exhaust (known as "rolling coal"), your engine is not properly burning all of the fuel that is being delivered.

There are really no positives to this. You waste fuel, increase exhaust gas temperatures and give diesels a bad name in the eyes of the general population.


Now around my place there is a weekly event called "Yankee Lake Truck Night". Talk about a redneck fest but it is fun. You can youtube it. They have "Blackout Nights" where the good ole' boys bring out their diesels and see how much coal they can produce. Kinda fun to watch, thats really the only place I would want to smoke it out on occasion.

Yes, that is a very good thing. Keep it like that.
