My 06 would make a huge cloud of smoke when you got into it if it had been driven easy for a while before. I believe if you add the tube off the bottom of the airbox it will help with that. I never tried it on that truck, but had heard it would remedy the problem from others. My 03 does not smoke at all.

My '07 smoked more stock than it does now with a Smarty Jr. on default SW1. Definitely had a good puff to it on the low end, stock.

CAC leak test....held 41psi for 2 hours and didn't lose anything.


It's beginning to look like the 04.5 and up trucks are smokers out of the box.

I will look into the airbox tube mod, thanks Matt!

Of course this all depends....bought the truck for dad and he kinda likes the smoke now so WTF?

If the injectors are worn, it will smoke worse...mine did.

Agree. Look at the possibility of an injector problem. How many miles did you say are on the truck?

My '06 doesn't smoke with just air and pipe mods. Even sorta stuck in the snow the other day and very little black on the snow and I was on it hard enough to flag the CEL. My old '04.5 would puff a bit if it was really humid out.
