does a better lift pump = more smoke?
No Chris, I'm not offened at all. But thanks.
I just see what's coming and don't like it. I see guys on the road smoking out traffic, I read about it here and I know when enough people complain about it, and they do, we will get more laws, more fines and more emissions testing for diesels. We have had it good for a long time, but I think it will end soon. Soon Al Gore will be blaming us for global warming.
Last week I was stopped on a 4 lane highway at a red light. A Dodge/Cummins was at the front of stopped traffic, I was back about six vehicles from him. When the light turned green the D/C blew smoke so thick (there was no wind) that the cars in front of me couldn't see well enough to move. He had to have his turbo boot off or his MAP unhooked because he really blew smoke for about 100 yards. We all just sat there for about 15 seconds waiting for the smoke to clear. Yes, I thought it was a cool thing to see, but at the same time I knew actions like this is not good for us all. I caught up to him a few miles down the road at another red light, he looked to be about 16 years old and had his hat on sideways.
I was young and stupid too, but that was a long time ago.
There is nothing that I can do, I can't and really don't want to control what others do. But I can express my opinion which is all that I am doing here.
