smoke ticket
not a truck related problem but I have to vent.. well i kinda knew it was comin, but i cant still believe it...i launched at a red to green light and covered a beamer with smoke that was tailgaiting me and after about a minute i seen the cherries. the officer was very ignorant giving me hell about my farmer tags and i told him i needed more power to pull equip and hay and stuff and my programmer takes care of it. hence the smoke. he didnt want to budge and said a "chip" would never do that. basically i told him when you add more fuel you get black smoke. i got to the point where if i said any more it would be ignorant anyway, so i shut up. wow im fired up. so in a nut shell, be careful out there fellas, not every one likes the show we put on.

Oh I do......fuel economy has taken a pretty serious hit here lately 
Used to be fun to black out an intersection, now it's even more fun blacking out the interstate since the smoke rolls directly into the windshield of whatever's following.
Probably careless and stupid....but it sure is fun.

Yes it is fun! stacks just lay the smoke down so much more even. And seeing it waft over the hood and windshield of those behind is beautiful enough to make a grown man......laugh out loud!!

My guess is that the cite was written as a violation re
a smog law. I don't know what particular laws that ya all have but in Cali they catcha smokin' they write a smog violation, diesel or not, then you have to pay to have it smog checked.
Even if there is no fine there is still the "Hassel Factor"
Either way ya look at it...you lose.
