Rollin coal

Seems that rolling coal is easier or better done in manual transmission diesels then automatics, or is that not necessarily true? Can't seem to find any specificity on the matter when it comes to the transmission type of manual or automatic.

Don't pick on the Prius, they help save fuel so we can burn it.

Hahaha bunch of tree huggers, since the inception of the industrial age and all these gases produced by vehicles and crazy chemicals made in factories to the present, 2018, all those gases well over 100 years if not 200 doesn't compare to the amount of toxic gases released when mt. Helen's volcano erupted not to long ago, lmfao people whining about rollin coal
heard you can get tickets and whatnot in some states or counties sure yea but those tickets are a joke and no hardly anyone ever gets them and they most certainly aren't expensive at all $200 is the max I believe and it's all dependent on the cop plenty of places out in the back woods and trails to roll coal at and the occasional rollin coal in towns at Prius drivers and weird yahoos and such protesting global warming.

thanks for all your concern and input

thanks for all your concern and input X'D
While I agree with SOME of this post, "rolling coal" is part of the reason we have the laws that Big Brother installed on us. The 7.3, which is one of the best engines Ford ever installed in trucks, could not meet the emissions set by the EPA, so it went by the wayside. And as long as the tree huggers see people "rolling coal" they will try to make the emissions tougher to pass, and they will try to outlaw any engine that can not meet their requirements. If you came here to try to find out ways to roll coal, you came to the wrong place. That said, if you really want to "roal coal" do the Walmart bag mod, put a plastic bag over your air intake. You will get all the coal you want in any gear, but don't expect your engine to last very long.

Dude nobody aint going to tell you how to roll coal because noone here cares about rolling coal, its stupid and all your doing is raising more excuses for the stupid EPA to implement more strict emmisions on diesel engines.

Those price range tickets are a lot I'll admit but your buddy just seems like a fool getting caught 3+ times, let alone if he is intentionally rolling coal specifically on cops, hes just asking for a ticket, and all these replies are nothing short of hilarious.

I just wanted to see some input on the subject of seeing how it would seem it would be far easier to roll coal in a manual transmission then automatic, i can roll coal plenty just wanted to see others tricks if they had any or if they perfected their way they are doing it to any amount and extent.

this link is the best:

if you do a search on the forum, the question has been asked many, many times and I doubt that info changed on our 20+ year trucks

Might I refer you to a cummings or dudge forum where dumping clutches from a light in 4th gear is preffered with no fuel plate in said p-pump . Lol
sorry I couldn't help it.
With that said may be guilty of some smoke issues untill the turbo lights...hopefully my new tunes will alleviate some of the wasted fuel issues.
