My truck likes to smoke when getten on it....was wondering if this is normal for the 05....if i floor it a big cloud of smoke pours out the exhaust.lite black color....im thinken its just not geten enough air, filter minder reads no restriction...otherwise truck runs great......

 

ya diesels will smoke a lil put a programmer on there and it will smoke like a train!!

 

Yeah, its pretty normal. Blowing the soot out of the CAT.

 

ok thanks, ive never seen smoke outa my 99 even with the ez on 3

 

My truck smokes pretty good too for not having any fueling mods either.
Probably gonna have to get stacks once I get Smarter

 

You may want to check your intercooler hoses. I noticed turck started smoking more than normal and found a good sized leak in the hose going from the turbo to the intercooler. I also gained almost 2mpg by fixing it.
Just a thought.

 

Wouldn't your truck be running hotter than normal because of this?

 

if you bought the truck used, it could have a programmer... My buddys truck had a reprogrammed ecm, smoked too, but he didnt get the programmer with it. but yeah, check for a boost leak.

 

Truck was not new, but only had a couple of thousand miles on it when I bought it. Have had it for almost two years and never really smoked before until 3 weeks ago.
Where do you check for leaks? Inlet or outlet side? Or both?

 

I took it to the dealer right before the bumper to bumper expired. They replaced the front U-joints under warranty.
Did they reflash the computer, 'cuz that's when I noticed it rollin' coal for the first time. It is still running great though. It seems like if I had a leak somewhere it would be overheating and/or running the crap.
