There are lots of reasons I would have a diesel other than just smoke. The sound, the power, pulling power, being able to slap around gas trucks, and a smoke switch doesn't help any of those things. You don't need 600 horse for it to smoke, and who doesn't want a 600 horse truck? It's with a diesel, so it'll still be reliable.

Eventually we aren't going to find a way around it anymore. The emissions standard are gioing to get so strict and more and more states are going to have emissions testing as strict as California.

 

If u want smoke and no power y don't u just go buy a gasser that burns oil.... U would save the trouble of trying to hook up a switch

 

been told if you make your truck smoke alot and you still have the stock vgt turbo and the deletes you can still plug the vains up.

 

Smoke= Lots of Fun

 

you should be bitch slapped. diesels aren't for smoke genious. they're for torque and towing a lot of weight while keeping reasonable mileage and sometimes just mileage. not for smoke. ya when you got a lotta power you'll throw some smoke but theres a reason for that not just to say you can throw a cloud and have no power which is exactly what a smoke switch does

 

My opinion on smoke switches is that they are stupid I put one on my truck a year or so ago ,but I bet I have only used it once to see if it worked. I dont drive around being a general jerk either bottom line is its your truck do as you wish with it ,but if you want to smoke do it with something other than a switch. I mainly did mine to see what it made the stock sensors read took my boost up to 27 psi at idle so it would fuel heavy with a little reving. I took the picture in my avatar by loading the engine and flooring it with H&S tuning. That was also before a turbo upgrade. Now my truck hardley smokes. Bottom line is its your truck do as you wish with it and its none of my business ,but it would be much better to see you save your money and spend it on a tuner of some sort.

 

well said....and i like the modified signature

 

Yep figured the sig was gettin to long so modded it cause the only thing that matters is HP right bud

 

Im just saying i like the smoke. And i Would know..Poor guy just wants smoke why dont yall just give him answers and what he wants if he dont want any power he dont have to have any help him out

 

Well said. Smoke=unburnt fuel. Unburnt fuel=less power. Hence, smoke means your truck's pulling power isn't reaching full potential.
Used to have an OBS 94.5 7.3 powerstroke TD w/ stage 2 injectors, 140hp chip, 4" exhaust and guages. I added power and got the smoke as a bonus.
