Ok. I got the transmission sorted. Now I need to get rid of the dollars pouring out my tailpipe. Been reading and reading asking people who know more then me (not to different to find) sounds like I need more air? I like the power pulls strong. I think it has a short AFE w/ heat shield. Stock air intake everything else. I am not sure how to get more air to the beast. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

 

is the air filter clean? what is done to the truck?

 

It is but kind of miss treated bent and what not. Got a new one on order. Not 100% sure what is do e to the truck it is definitely not stock all the way around. Was hoping to get it into a shop to get it sorted but trany happens.

 

Is it tuned? that might explain the black smoke, and the only fix for that is bigger turbo... or injectables....... but turbo is a more permanent solution

 

Not 100% sure about tune. Turbo sounds spendy.

I've owned my truck for 8 years and I still havn't done near as much as I'd like, but its all about the $$$, and I don't have it

 

What you need is a HP tuner, can tune smoke out.

 

Smarty Electronics offers a custom tune for yours. They sell the box and have a number of tuners out there that can write a clean tune for you.
