Last night me and some friends were out driving around and my friend Dan got into the bed of my truck and wanted to record a video of the smoke with his cell phone.

I did a 5lb 4wd boosted launch and as soon as i hit full boost i was getting 8 inch bright blue flames out the exhaust that looked like a big butane torch.

Ive never noticed it before yet I haven't ever really checked. Is this normal or is something wrong?

The truck runs great and I'm not noticing any power loss or anything?

 

dont know about the flames but you might beable to e-mail the vid to yourself and then upload it?

 

Diesels will put out a flame if they are running rich enough. Usually it's orange/red though.

 

i think i can upload the video. although someone swears in the video. should i just cut that part of audio out if possible?

 

Put it on you tube and put the link here.

 

i just edited the video down quite a bit from 2 min to only the 5 seconds i need. ill upload it and put it on here in a few minutes


EDIT:i uploaded the video and its now processing on you tube. i will post the link when its available

 

theres the link, he didn't get to shoot much video of it because he couldn't hold on

but it has that blue flame all the time at full throttle

 

My old International 6.9 would flame out the stacks under certain conditions with a big load of cattle; I never noticed it when empty.

The flame was constant once acheived, though.

No flames from the 5.9 that I have seen yet.

 

flames arnt that hard with alotta rpms and alotta fuel.... saw it in a friends truck with a stock turbo, way too much fuel and short side dump spinning 3600.

 

A flame is normal on a overfueled truck esp if you can peg the pyro. Like Wanna said it usually a orangeish red tho. Mine does it when ever she gets above 1400 degrees, theres nothing like carbon being burnt of the walls of the exhaust. More timing or water will take it right away.

 

If you are spraying meth, the flame will be blue. Otherwise it's bright orange.

 

My pyro wasn't at more than 900 at the time and normally i cant get my pyro over 1200-1300 degrees. I have water meth installed but only use it on dyno days.

Any other reasons anyone can think of? I just dont want to be burning my engine up.

 

Check your exhaust valve clearances. They might be a little tight.
