yeah i'd almost guarantee the egr would cause it not to smoke, and the pump might be de-tuned in order to meet whatever california emissions there were at that time, smoke is not desirable though, granted with power on a 12v smoke is pretty much natural

Truthfully, he'll want gauges if he does anything more than an intake/exhaust. Messing with the afc and plate are gonna mess with not only boost, but egt's.

Like I said, the cooling system on these trucks are great. Diesels naturally take forever to warm up because of this.

A stock diesel made after the 80's shouldnt smoke at ALL. If it did, I would suspect something is wrong.

Much to learn, young grasshoppa.

No there is no smoke button. You sound like my 18year old cousin; he wants to buy a diesel so it can smoke. Just grab a damn chisel and a damn screw driver and go to town on that pump.
