just as cheezit said its normal on any diesel. its just the nature of the beast. a lot of people really like to black smoke rice bunners. me im on the fence on it. I can barrel out some smoke when I want to but not sure if its what I want to do. I own a graphics company and I made a sticker for a guy not to long ago that said "if it dont blow black take it back"
