Puff black smoke
Does it cause damage to your truck or harm it in any way if you modify it to blow loads of black smoke??
If so, what?
ps - I am not thinking about doing this at all I am just curious

It can raise exhaust temperature very high, very fast. That can damage pistons and injectors. It can also damage the wallet when you have to pay for all that raw fuel!!!!!! Think 2 miles per gallon or less.

It also gets the greenies hopped up to shut down diesel and nudge the EPA into more and more restrictions on our choice of transportation.

You answered it stupidity. I mean like its pretty much impossible to have smoke free truck. I get a puff of it till the turbo spools up which is normal especially when im on level 5. Now the people that go though town just lugging the truck so they can smoke people out is bad. When I bought my truck the p.o had a silver bullet 66 on it(no injectors) It was bad driving normally. I pretty much had to drive in my rear view. Not to mention that was money going out the exhaust.
