smoke?
hi Guys, i have an 01 f250 7.3 love the truck. i have a 4" silverline turbo back and i just did the 6637 filter. now today i was getting onto i95 and as i merged onto the highway decided to punch it. i looked in the review mirror and their it was. huge black cloud, just a short cloud as it shifted into 3rd and again as it went into 4th but as soon as the turbo spooled it went away. i was just wondering if this is normal for these basic mods or if something may be going wrong i want to make sure everything is in good working condition before i order my DP, it has 90k on it and a brand new tranny.
thanks for any input

Mine would smoke a decent amount from time to time, until I upgraded the intake. It still throws out a little fuel now and then, but not as much as it used to. I have to stand on it pretty hard to get it to smoke, now and then.

If its smokin its broken, you might want to have someone take a look at your o2 sensor, its probably broken, along with the DPF, and the afterburner. Ford fixed this with a new tune, so it dont smoke no more. Its free....
BTW disregard my previous statement about the smoke.
Get a chip and really cloud out the highway its fun. Watch around police they sometimes get mad.

Ideally, no smoke is "good". When there is excess air for the amount of fuel injected, that is optimum efficiency. Like the new trucks, smoke is bad. Now it's becoming ILLEGAL for your truck to smoke. My theory is to make enough smoke to compensate for the loss of smoke in the new 08 trucks.

Smoke is pretty normal under hard acceleration I really don't see much smoke unless I really give it the juice.
Although smoke is nice in certain situations; I was in the twin cities one time and this idiot in a Porsche thought he was hot stuff riding my ***, so much so that at times his entire car disappeared in the rear view mirror. And he wouldn't pass but wanted to ride my ***, so I stomped it left a huge cloud of smoke which he disappeared in to. At that point he decided to allow me proper distance. I say stupid because if I would have had to hit my brakes for something like another car, he may have been dead form bumper poisoning. I really don’t think that Porsche would have stood up well against the back of my F-350.

For instances like that, i have been brewing the idea of putting a round 2" solid tube in the receiver hitch, and then sharpen it down to a point, that sticks out of the back of the truck 6-8". Maybe that would make them think twice?

The best exhaust i think i had was when i took my stacks off and i had the flex pipe just hanging there. If someone was on my ***, they couldnt see any piping anywhere, then all of a sudden a big *** black cloud would come out from under the truck. They backed off nicely, but nothin is as good for smoke output than my side pipe was......
Damn that was a long time ago, it was good for fillin rice burners with smoke, but at the track, it sucked, i didnt want to fill up some nice old muscle car so the stacks had to get put on...
If aint smoken, its broken...
