Well if you want smoke but don't care about more power, then take your air filter out and duct tape 75% of it up, then put it make on the truck and presto tons of smoke.

dnt mean to rustle your feathers but huge clouds of black smoke is one of the most attractive parts of diesels
Any policemen can write a ticket for excessive smoking, They can make you fix it and have it inspected. No additional laws needed, the laws already exist.

if u have a manual tranny, to get some black smoke this is what i do... in town just shift into third from first, or fourth from second or fifth from third when ur getting started...there...theres a little black smoke to calm ur nerves but u dont have to worry about doing much to your truck aside from slipping the clutch a little

Yes, I did, and I still do, my goal is to get as clean and through burn as absolutely possible.

Those that know, see them Vapor Trails just a shooting up, get impressed!

Only reason I like my smoke is tailgaters. They go away when they get choked out. But, I would much rather just be blowing out heat.

excessive black smoke is not good.

my truck smokes a little before the turbo spools up, and its more Gray than black, but once it spools there is no smoke.

i think if i upgrade the turbo backing i will be able to get more air to clean up the smoke.

Shifting to a high gear to lug it down to make smoke is harming the engine.
