y do that when you can just add power to your 96 for free she'll pour the coals to. Search fuelplate profiles, and starwheel adjustment

oil will make t smoke but fouls up the valves and leaves bigtime carbon deposits on the pistons not to mention if its cold out it wont want to start

Forget about the smoke - it draws negative attention and its the reason why the EPA is making problems for us that drive diesels and the diesel performance industry.


If you insist on smoke, you have to increase the amount of fuel being burned. Excess fuel = smoke.

the guy was pouring fuel treatment additive in his truck, not motor oil and yes Dr.Evil is right it does draw un needed attention to us, now ill be the first to tell ya F**K the EPA and all that it stands for roll coal if ya want and do what ya want, and we owe the sucess of diesels and diesel performance to the ability of being able to black out a 4 lane highway with a twitch of your right ankle but its also leading to the down fall of diesels

a buddy of mine has a 98 12 valve 3500 and he had his fuel turned up, rolled the coal all the time attracted to much attention (DOT) got him and fined him and made him put his truck back to stock.
