I have a 2007 5.9 Cummins how can i make it smoke cheaply? -

cheaply you can get a boost fooler and do a smoke switch, not recommended but it works, i would just put a tuner on and leave it, cummins will smoke enough -

for your truck their is no "cheap" option. You have to have a chip/programmer. Or you can do a smoke switch but it messes things up -

smarty setting sw9 will smoke but then you will be wanting parts so you can keep it on setting 9. cuz you will mess your transmission up pretty quick -

Not only will the transmission be gone, you'll take out the lift pump which will in return take out the cp3, without a new limp pump ie: fass airdog, you'll also drain the rail. Then runing on sw9 your egts will be through the roof unless you have air modifications, such as a cold air intake and the cycle goes on and on... Theirs no cheap way about going about this, one thing leads to another and the circles goes on and on -

Oh I love these threads.

Black smoke is lost power, unburned fuel, and generates high EGT's. It makes diesel engines look bad, and in turn makes us look bad because we own them.

It also can damage your engine and transmission to the point that it would be cheaper to buy another truck than it would be to repair it.

I hope someone can teach you about making clean power with a diesel. -

Yeah...so there....while we're at it...I have a programmer and my truck still won't smoke. On the highest setting it will if I mash on it, but other than that it won't. Still have stock exhaust though. Is that why? -

If its a HO it has a 4inch stock exhaust. But a set of injectors will make it smoke -

All being fair, why do you want it to smoke? Personally, mine smokes too much and it is because I need twins to make more air. I say don't smoke and keep it as a 7000 pound sleeper. -

I want it to smoke just to say that it can. I don't know. My inner child? Fascination with trains? Maybe cuz my daddy worked in a coal mine?

No, seriously, I have no idea. Is it silly to do that? Sure...but I still want it to. It's a little redneckish, but hell...so are stacks and everyone loves those... -

Please re-think the smoke issue. Our main black eye we get at diesel events is spectators driving crazy whilst drinking AND smoking the streets with a lead foot around JOHN Q PUBLIC. Some events are getting moved or cancelled. The less we act with responsibility the less JOHN Q will tolerate. Look at jetskiers- They are fun but everyone from fishermen to swimmers to campers to Game wardens don't like them at all at the lake. It is all being driven by the irresponsibility of a few- and ruins it for the rest of us and I guarantee you- It could happen to us next. If we act like we are serious as diesel operators in a professional manner- they (JOHN Q) will treat us professionally. If we act irresponsibly- they will enact laws to restrict us. We have a lot to gain with diesels- power, efficiency, etc the list goes on and on. But most non-believers just think of the smoke and the smell. Oh ya- I'm not a stick in the mud- I've gone 170 on a motorcycle- raced numerous different types of vehicles, street raced, ran from cops (oops!), had hemi's big blocks nitrous,nitro-methane . Just lets dont give diesels a black eye. -

9 times out of 10, it'll send a MAP too low or too high voltage code, and you'll end up in limp mode. If your miles from a town, it'll suck cause the only way to clear the code is with a scanner or a programmer. -

Adjustable smoke that you can turn on or off is a good thing. Fueling/tuner boxes are the trick. That's the advantage of electronically controlled trucks, we can play when we want to. -

OK...so back to the programmer thing...why the hell won't it smoke? The cat? Stock muffler? -
