Sorry but uhh their is no point in putting one on a 6.0l or any diesel in my opinion. Its useless. Why do you want a smoke switch? your just going to turn your turbo into chit

I just want to see how it works im not gonna use it all the time

Probably because you said you wanted no bad comments. We are not trying to be mean, we apprictate you being here and are willing to help you as much as we can but if your looking to Bomb your diesel to blow smoke thats the wrong reason.

Their is a smoke switch you could put on their but you will loose boost...you just splice into the wire going into the turbo...but I highly dont recomend it. no boost=no power.
I heard it will pour the black stuff but then you got to think...do you want to destroy the vains in your turbo? and when the vains do go out and your turbo overspools then you blow head gaskets...Its your truck. your money.

not to mention the crap you'll get in your intake because of the EGR...

ditch the quadzilla and get an sct custom tuned.. if that isnt enough smoke for ya then i just dont know.. but i agree with the guys on NOT doing a smoke switch... it wouldnt be a good long life decsion for your turbo:c:

i've been talking to the the local shop in my town.. Jefferson State Diesel. They are pretty popular with Diesel Power Mag and the head mechanic owns the 5150 truck and he says a smoke switch will not ruin anything, just fools your truck into thinkin it needs to work harder therefore having extra unburnt fuel. my friend did it in his 6.0 and has drove a full tank of gas with it on and had nothing bad happen. i wish i could tell you how to do it but my friend did say it was easy, only took likt 10 minutes..

I googled it but I'm not sure if I can link to that forum here.

Cut either of the wires going to the VVT stuff and put a switch in it.

This was in the forum a couple of months back with more details on what you will need to do so that you don't destroy your engine. There is a picture also.

It plays absolute HELL on your turbo vanes... Heavy Smoke is one thing but the amounts of raw fuel that the smoke switch dumps is VERY abusive to a turbo.

cut 1 of the two wires that runs to your solenoid(doesnt matter which), and run it to a switch... theres your smoke switch

to blow smoke you need more fuel than air plain and simple , i love the smoke but it has to be controllable and ive been on the wrong side of that ! its no fun then ... and your stuck with a bad tuned truck , so you shouldn't bomb for smoke you wont be happy after a few weeks . bomb for performance and the smoke will come with it ;)
