Programmers are designed to make smooth power. The PPE will roll the smoke on the higher settings.

I suspect that farm boy is just that....a boy.

Have you ever wondered why modern diesels have particulate filters and UREA injection?

Rollin coal Is a sign of a poorly tuned dirty max. Not saying a dmax won't blow smoke, and mine will put out a hefty cloud at 7,000 feet above level but it clears up and is nothing more than a haze after a very very short time. Sea level my truck barely smokes and will make edge box dmax trucks look slow.

If all you want is smoke, plastic bag over the filter will make it smoke

Agreed, I have a 475rwhp that will rip the trans apart in a hurry and it hardly "rolls the coal" it will dump a little smoke at take off and it cleans up right away

Rolling Coal is pointless, juvenile and only hurts the diesel sport, get a clean tune and you can make the tires smoke, not the exhaust

I feel your pain on the trans issue. i even put a stage 3 in before the tuning and and apparently i should have went with at least a 4 if not a 5
