how do i make my diesel smoke less
I heard that if you put a turbo it forces air into the engine and makes your disel smoke less. im about to get a chevy c/k 3500 1 ton and the guy told me it smokes at idle and smokes more when driving down the road. i was told it can be reduced by puting the turbo on and that it can be the oil rings.

Sounds like a 6.2L engine. Its normal for them to smoke a little and they carbon up really bad sometimes, plus it sounds like the owner hasn't put a hard right foot in it for a while. Doing this a couple of times from a dead stop should clear it up. Lots of black from the start as it eases into a light gray is normal. White smoke is coolant and blue smoke is oil, both of these are bad.

White smoke while cranking can also mean partial or incomplete combustion (bad glow plug or dripping injector).
Blue smoke is usually oil in combustion chamber.
Black or gray smoke usually incomplete combustion due to more fuel than air (raw unburned fuel going into the air.) Can be caused by number of things, bad injector (s), injection pump set too high, high altitude to name few. Yeah, turbo will help burn fuel in combustion chamber, along with any oil.
If combustion compression engine running "right" should only see vapor trail from stacks except during turbo spool up. After its loaded, nada.
All gray-black stuff into air is unburned fuel.
