i dont think anyone here is talking about making a truck smoke all the time and just being ignorant. when i crowd my throttle my truck blows black, just the way it is. loaded my pete blows black for all 13 gears its just the way it is.

 

My Pete doesn't. In fact, it basically doesn't smoke at all. On the one hand, I do enjoy a good smoke show. On the other hand, I don't like paying for wasted fuel, nor do I want to be obnoxious in traffic.

Seems to me the best solution would be if you had some sort of smoke switch you could turn on and off at will. But nothing like that seems to exist either for my Pete (Caterpillar 3406E) or my Dodge (12 valve 5.9L Cummins).

 

mines a 550 cat and i dont know if it was turned up by a previous owner or not. but it does smoke in every gear with a trailer behind. there are times i wished it wouldnt, but oh well i guess. my pickup on the other hand is very controllable.

 

What year, and what do you pull with it? I'm a bit of a Pete nut, although I'm not actually running mine -- it would interfere with my day job.

 

i love reading threads of people who want smoke it makes me lauph now days go for power not smoke

 

delete the turbo, that will make it smoke, just be sure to dump the exhaust into the cab right next to your ignorant ***...... smoke is what brought us all the epa crap we have now, keep going and make it worse for everyone. No different that the AR hype, one ******* with an AR and the whole country has to suffer.

 

Man, tell us how you really feel........

 

its a 1990 379. i pull chips with it most of the time sometime round wood.
