Default 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!

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

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.....
