First off, dont judge and lable those you dont know...I maybe a diesel rookie, but I aint a young punk (same age as you 29) looking to "bring the diesel crowd" a bad name! Your comment makes no sense since almost ANYBODY running a newer diesel is running it DPF delete and EGR delete...THATS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW! How about a bad name there....? And dont you think the tree loving hippies think it is EVEN MORE offensive to see a rig belch out a nuclear cloud of smoke to pull a sled for 300 feet????? You create more emmisons and fill the sky with more shi* in 300ft then I would do in a MONTH on a few hits of the throttle in town...and Im proud of it!
And talking about protecting your sport, its because of your sport many people like me want to roll some smoke! Seeing that volume of smoke erupting out of a truck like that is impressive. Every diesel mag you see shows diesel's pumping the black cloud of death...thats what sells parts. And if it would be cool to smoke a power joke with no smoke and make him wonder, then why dont you set the example in your sport and pull that insane weight with no smoke...??? Yeah , impossible. So to call out a guy who wants a little smoke by the people who inspire me to smoke dont add up in my book! I go to sled pulls to hear engines roar, turbos spool and smoke tower into the sky blocking the sun, not to watch weight move.
So I think I am doing the sport good, if I **** off a 100 people who will NEVER:
1: Own a diesel
2: Support the aftermarket
3: Complain about everything
I could care less, but if my simple street creation might inspire just one person it MAY:
1: Drive them to buy a diesel
2: Inspire them to buy aftermarket parts and suport the people that SPONSOR you
3: May lead them to get involved into a sanctioned body and participate, that money PAYS your purse at an event.
Or is it acceptable if I make some smoke with a boat load of parts I cant affoard yet versus wasting some fuel and being smarter then the aftermarket and fooling a simple sensor...that is more exciting to me then replacing parts...cause see I have built every toy I own. NEVER HAVE paid for labor, so to respect the sport, I learn the sport, I build, I break, I ask.....
Dont read me wrong my friend, I love any motor sport...thats all I know! Racing AMA, and NMRA/NHRA most my life! I run a 1000hp twin turbo 10.5 car on the street for fun burning high lead and the whole nine...illegal as hell..and 3 times as worse emmisons then any diesel, but you cant see it...so does that make it any less worse...? Dont think as a drag racer that my sport was frowned upon when all the fast and furious crap came out! We were the bastards of society cause some dumb 16 year old bought a ricer and killed people on the street racing, but you know what we got over it and still ran race cars on the road to intice people to the track doing "street cruises" and getting people to provide hang outs for racers and finally get some tracks to have street nights and open the gates at $5 a car.
PEOPLE DO IT ON THE STREET because they cant affoard to begin to compete..and I dont beleive thats thier problem.
And I would think a simple smoke switch is SAFER and more RESPONSIBLE for playing around then it is to jack these programmers to 150-200hp settings and dropping the hammer in hopes of smoke..call that childish, but I would rather fool a sensor at 15-20mph and make a puff then be a retard pulling away at a light at Mach 1 starring out the rear-view looking for that puff.
Maybe its your area...Im not in any city, I have one freakin street light, and loggin is the prime industy, so when 15,000pds of hard earned lumber pass me at 80mph and I see the coal a rollin it makes me proud to be an AMERICAN!
So, stand up for what you believe...a bad name for no one I desire, a SEMA member, NHRA license holder I am, AMA card holder I am...I respect organizations and our sports, but dont think something is better cause you cant see it!!!! And if it pisses them off, I hope the last 3things they see in my trail of smoke is 1) My POW/MIA magnet, 2) My Support our troops magnet, 3) My GOT DAM* smoke, cause I earn my money, I defend my country and I will roll how I want to! If there are people in this country who get more rights and more rules changed that wont even stand up and remove thier cover during the National Anthem you can guarentee I WILL ROLL SMOKE BABY!!!!!
Anyways...all we are debating over is smoke ( And you picked on one who loves to DEBATE)...how funny

The clutch? it makes alot of noise. Some of the noises make the truck sound tougher, some of em make it sound broken... Like when I hold the clutch in it makes a sound, that i would compare to taking a fork and scratching it in circles on a ceramic plate... 
The clutch is hard to push, but that doesnt bother me, but what does bother me is it seems harder to put in gear.... But the one thing it does do is hold power. So thats what the paper said it would do, so I guess im not allowed to complain
---AutoMerged DoublePost---
Hows the switch treating you? I was so interested I ordered the resistors the first time I read this post... Yet I hesitate because there must be some downside to it.

The smoke switch is my new best friend! The truck has not skipped a beat or acted any different since the install, the only down side...having smoke at your command!
And what I have learned playing with it, is it works best at low rpm, especialy neutral (6-stick) and revving it up. If your already crusing and up in the rpms, above 1500-1800 it throws a light cloud then clears up quick, but if your at a stop light or just taking off, its real nice with a quick hit of the throttle.
Dont be suprised if your straight piped with stacks, it will rain raw fuel if you leave the switch on and hit it several times. I was at my buddies house in his drive way, and I left the switch on and hit it 4-5 times in neutral, and there were all these little streaks of black soot that was still wet to the touch. Needless to say, after my first day with it my truck looked like a Zebra from pulling into all my Power Joke friends driveways and sending them a little puff of Cummins!!!
Its a blast and worry free! The most fun $5 has ever brought me!

I would not see any problems if you placed the resistor any where in the line, it just reduces the 12V signal down to around 5V, and I also would not forsee any heating issues since it is only reduces 12 to 5V, and those large Radio Shack resistors are heavy duty and insulated. Just a novice electrican opinion from the little I know, I would be willing to say your safe.

I did it just like you did but my does throw a code, not anytrhing bad, but whats the deal?
---AutoMerged DoublePost---
Mine throws code p0106-Manifold absolute pressure/barometric pressure circuit range/performance. It came on about 2 minutes into running the truck with the switch on. I have an h&s black maxx, and when i turn the switch off and use the black maxx to clear the code the idiot light still is on even though i cleared it and the switch is off. Even after turning the truck off and restarting the truck the light is still on and it is the same code. Any idieas? Also when i have the switch on it also turns the lighting bolt looking light on in the dash and at higher speeds and rpm's it starts to miss out a little bit. But fine when i turn off the switch, any takers on this one? Thanks.

The only thing I have read is if you do not have the right ohm resistor it will screw with the truck. Ensure you have the same resistor like I have on page 2 of this forum. I have read on other sights the lower the ohm..the rougher the truck runs? You could have the right ohm but it could be a cheap one with horrible tolerance and as the resistor gets warm it loses its resistance....? Not sure unless it might have something to do with running a different tuner? Maybe the tuner re-programs the MAP at the threshold of a CEL then the smoke switch pushes it way too high..?
I have been running mine for over 6 months with out a CEL. I got hammered one night and had my buddy drive home and he hit the switch with his knee and it was on straight for 2 hours! And no issues other then it smelt like I was hauling a leaking 55 gal barrel of diesel fuel HAHA.
Also, a quality switch could be important? And descent gauge wire? Anything too small can create issues that carries a load. I have some extra painless wiring switches from my race car that I used, and around a 12-14ga wire.
Hope this helps...

Check on page two, I have some pics and links where to shop. Radio Shack, and the actual switch is just an extra from the tool box.
