cutting off air filter flow for smoke....
 

hey guys, im kinda curious how much smoke id make if i put a plastic bag over my air filter and started my truck and drove it around a little. How bad would this hurt the truck to do, if i only did it for like 5 min or so

i wouldn't run at all...cutting off the air is one way to effectively kill a diesel since they don't need electricity to run, only air and fuel.

i guess i'm interested in why you'd WANT to do this??? if you're wanting to make it smoke, lock open your wastegate or slide the afc and starwheel forward.

edit... i didn't see the year of ur truck til now. never mind about the afc and wheel then!! :)

Put an SCT custom tuner on it (I think Dodges can do this) and they make a smoke tune just for people like you! :D

that is retarded, nothing like risking a $600 turbo, and a $7000 engine to get a little smoke.

Retarded? You mean the SCT tuner?

but im getting antzy for SMOKE....what if i just did it for lkike 10 sec. and revved it once

whats the SCT tuner???? how much and where can i get one

Cut off the air and it will kill the engine.

Maybe one of our sponsors can lead you to one. I know where you can get one but I don't want to bring up non sponsor names without permission from DM or Whit.

if you really want smoke that bad...and you have gauges cause your EGT`s will go thru the roof you can pop the intercooler boot off....the truck will have no power but smoke like you could not imagine.....if you dont have gauges i would not reccomend this.....
