Wanna Blow Some Black Smoke Help?!?!?!?!
 

Hello gentlemen the name is rob ive owned my 2001 7.3l for about a year now this is my first diesel all my buddies has had their diesels for a few years and if they saw me on the streets walking on the curb they would smoke me out with black some HOW in the heck do you do that. Ive Tried gunning it nothing. What the fawck do i do? :humm: Please help!!!!

put a bag over the air filter.

There's all kinds of things to do to make your truck smoke. You can put a bag over the air filter, like FastCR said, you could light it on fire, just use your imagination! :tu:

Seriously though, don't ask "how do I make my truck smoke?" Think of it as "How do I get my truck to make more power and get the smoke that comes with the power?" Its people that run around just blowing black smoke everywhere all the time that is giving the diesel community a bad name and causing all the tight emissions and crap for diesels now.

To actually try to help you here, check out TS Performance's and Tony Wildman 6 position chips. Just Google them. Post a thread in the vendors' section asking about chips to get a price quote and some info from some of our fine DB sponsors. Hope that helps and good luck. :c:

power hungry performance (php) they make a great chip thats what i run, they have a tune called "smoke show" but the 120 hp make plenty of smoke for me, and ford man is right, its about power not smoke

:argh::argh::scare2::scare2::bat: no smokey smokey. make smoke the right way bud. spend some dough and itll get there

amen to that crazt cummins :tu: with any chip or programmer you should get some smoke.. mine is pretty much stock and i just got a superchip... ya lame i know... but it gives it plenty of smoke even then.. im ordering a php 6 position chip here within the next week or so

With great power, comes great smoke. Don't worry about making smoke. Just do what you can to create some power and the smoke will come as a side-effect.

youll love your php strokin, what tunes you getting?

with the php the lope idle will put out PLENTY of smoke, just the right amount for those damned tailgaters :w2:

my lope idle dont put out any:td: i was kinda hoping it would, if i leave it on for more than 2 or 3 minutes its starts loping like 4 times a second and the only way ta stop it is to shut the truck off

oh im thinkin bout the 65 daily driver, 1200 high idle, 65 moderate tow for sure.. and i cant decide if i should go with the 120 race or th 140 extreme, and i cant decide between smoke show and idle lope.. what would you prefer?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

and do i even need to get the stock tune? or can i just unplug the chip to put it back to stock?

yes you can unplug chip when you want stock, im running the 120 and thats plenty for me, i like the 80 daily driver, now on smoke show or loped you wanting ta mess with peoples heads or or just show smoke??? the 120 and 140 have plenty of smoke, the loped idle will mess with peoples heads lol,

ya i was thinkin the 120 cause i only have a stock tranny and i dont wanna be ruinin it anytime soon haha ya maybe ill go with the 80 daily driver.. what kinda mileage are you getting? well what exactly does the idle lope do? i mean i have sorta an idea but im not positive. and as far as the smoke... the more the better in front of them damn chevys, we dont have to deal with the emission crap here in montana

ya i only got 120 cause stock tranny and injectors and everything else, in town i get roughly 14, loped idle makes it sound like a highly moded pullin truck, the 120 will give you plenty of smoke, the smoke show works best when parked cause it works at low boost,

ya my injectors are stock too.. does that loped idle make it smoke like lange said?

i think ill get the php with the smoke show calibration

mine doesnt at all, i wished it did like a pullin truck, but mine doesnt and like i said if its on that setting for bout 3 min it does it supper fast and i have ta shut my truck off ta stop it

ya maybe ill just stick with the smoke show i dont wanna be punching anything threw the side of my motor lol what other settings do you have?

im running stock, 80 tow, 80 dd, 120 race, loped, and smoke show, but like i said the 120 puts out smoke like the smoke show, i dont touch my last 2 settings, when i get $ im having it reburnt

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

im gonna get rid of smoke, loped, and 80 tow and get sixty five tow, high idle,

ya im tryin to do it right the first time so i dont have to reburn it lol... is there much difference between the 80 tow and 80 daily driver?

it changes the amount of fuel dumped into the motor and changes the shift pattern for pulling a load, but around town i dont notice a difference, i can pull my mud truck on a 20 foot trailer on my 8 dd no problem, as long as you have a boost gauge and pyro gauge, as long as you stay below 1200 degrees on the pyro

an i dont have any idea why them smiley faces are in my last two posts ha ha

cause you put l o l

oh that explains it.. ya i pull cattle trailers with mine so i figured itd be a necessity.. ya the only guage i dont have is a pyro... and needing to get one.. oh another question, can i still leave this superchip i got plugged in and have the chip on it also? i was plannin on keeping it to use the the guages that are on it

i have no clue, when i got my chip i sold my flashpaq superchips programmer i had cause i was told i couldnt stack em, but from what i hear its not always good ta stack them, i pull gravity wagons, and mud trucks often,

where did you sell yours? my first choice was to sell it but i didnt know where at

i sold it ta a buddy of mine, some diesel shops will buy them, you can try and sell it on here, or ebay,

im not all that technologically advanced haha i tried ebay and it confused the hell outta me so i quit trying maybe ill try again.. and how do you get the damn picture to show up by your name on these posts?

go ta ur profile and go to edit avatar, then you can choose a pic off your comp, on here you just go to home page and looke for the link that says for sale(fs) adn post it for sale

99 i'd call up PHP and talk to them about that, mine takes about 5 seconds to start loping and when i switch the tune its stops, but mine smokes quite a bit on lope?

what settings do you have lange?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

ya i cant get this site to upload the picture for my avatar:argh:

thanks lange, mine doesnt want ta lope sometimes, sometimes i have ta rev it up then it might and it might not, il have ta call them monday,

Make power... Not smoke.

All you do with the smoke crap is get the EPA dogs on our backs.

Intake, Exhaust, Gauges, Chip... That will put you at 300hp, after that, its time for injectors and turbo upgrades.

true dat..

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

i agree with you on that.. sometimes a guy cant resist himself when a rice burner is revving his engine at you :yeah:

i have stock, 65 dd, 120 race, high idle, lope, and whisper

how you like your whisper mode?? im thinking about getting that when i have my lope pulled off,

it does alright but not good enough to leave it on in a drive through :argh:

so its not worth it? cause i want something that actually does what its supposed ta,

i have a 95 powerstroke with the tony wildman tunes. on the smoke and extreme settings i have decent amounts of smoke. like everyone is saying, with great performance comes great smoke. dont be one of those jackasses who just blows smoke to look cool. good luck :tu:
