Is It Normal
I've seen a few trucks with stacks in my area, they pour out black smoke. Is this normal, 'cause my 21/2" exaust doesn't do it. I also would like dual 5" stacks.

That depends on how much you turn the fuel up. If it is pouring out black smoke they have the fuel set way to high. Black smoke is incomplete combustion, to much is wasted fuel. To much is also hard on the rings.

Yeah, you need new injectors and a new injector pump. You probably need a new tranny too, you just never know.

Turn up the pump about three turns
