That works for taking it in to get serviced too... the dealer hotshoes can't get them tires to spin!

 

My truck smokes when in stock setting put the TST on 1/1 and it is almost gone.
I take the Smarty off when towing to much smoke when shifting for my likes. Even on 3 it will smoke hard (I have it on mild tq managment). Just run the TST when towing D
One more reason for not running the smarty while towing is you don't have to worry about the egts getting to high because you can set your egt limits.

 

Dave, If you put stacks and run "smokey"in the rain...

YOUR GONNA HAVE THOSE BLACK PARATROOPERS ALL OVER EVERYTHING!

 

Oddly, I have MUCH less smoke on #8 than on 3-7.

The timing added #'s kinda scare me, it rattles too much for my liking all the way up until about 2K RPMS. That added with the DD clutch rattle from 1300-1700.......

I think I like #8 the best overall so far. Much more controllable smoke, still plenty of power.

 

D. Wiggs,

When I tow my 14,000 pounds 5th wheel I ran the beta smarty on #3, I had plenty of power too pul 7-8% grades without slowing, and the only time she smoked is when I asked her too!!!!

 

Wonderful! I will give it a try on both #3 and #8 to see what happens!

 

I have to think 8 is going to leave you pretty hot, maybe not with the twins though.......

There is no doubt that on my truck, the even numbers are FAR less smoky, I haven't towed over #3, but I was fogging people out from time to time on hills and taking off at that setting too.......

I might try #2 this Friday for our camping trip.

 

#9 works fine as far as temps go so hopefully 8 will be the same. I am curious about #3 though to see how much ummph I lose.

 

It was my impression that the odd numbers which add timing result in decreased smoke and lower egt's.

 

Then 8 probably won't help me!!!

 

Yeah, so was I. Anyone can drive my truck and see within a few take offs that # 8 is much less smoky than 9.

 

EGT's are lower for sure on the odd settings(timing) but I'm not too sure about the smoke. I just turned Smarty back to stock and the HOT Juice back on level 4 (100hp)because I'm really tired of the EXCESS smoke.

At some point, a guy just starts thinking about saving the planet....

 

Yup. Cause blowing black smoke will destroy the planet. Uh,.... yeah.

 

D.Wiggs, I dont have a 3rd Gen but I have dual 6" mitre Stacks. When I am moving at 50 and floor it, all the smoke goes to the middle of the bed and get sucked out the back right above the bed. I towed a trailer last weekend and it was neat to look in the mirror and watch the air flowing around the front of the trailer. I noticed I had bad aerodynamics on the trailer

My suggestion, get either 4 footers which look ugly on some trucks or go with a side dump. If you do get stacks, try turn-outs. that way you can aim them to the sides of the trailer vs trying to get the exhaust to go straight up.

PS, look at my avatar closely. I am moving at about 30 at that point.

 

I dunno about oomph D, but i easily pulled 7-8% grades @ 75 with the cruise on, EGTès only hit 1150 with my little 62, and I had alot of bewildered looks by guys with dodges, chevyès, and fords when they could only muster 45-50, and I was rockin and rollin @ 75. Plus I could easily pass ppl. 6th gear 75 mph 2000 rpmès to 100 mph in 14 seconds.....not too shabby for having 14,000 hooked up!!
