Black Smoke?

Just checking with ya'll....but my truck produces NO black smoke at all. Matter of fact, it actually made more with the stock exaust than now with the turbo back. I know it's an 07' but what the H?

I'm no expert but it doesn't look like you are using any type of programmer, and when you put on your intake and TB exhaust you made it more efficient so it should smoke less if any at all.

Another vote for the Smarty. For what I have my Smarty set on, and as long as I drive like I'm sane, little or no smoke. But when I want too...I can smoke out an intersection or a freeway onramp, or climbing an incline in low gear and giving it the "go" pedal. I try not to "roll the coal" too much, because of the bad rep. it gives us diesel freaks, but when I spot an oncoming tricked out Dodge, or any truck with stacks, I'll let go with a little "puff".

Yeah...that's what I figured. Been looking at the Smarty JR.
Would love to have the big hittin' "SR." model but not sure i want to make all the mods required to utilize the full system.
Any thoughts or opinions on the JR.?

If you like smoke get a Diablosport Predator. My predator smoked like a train when I would lug the truck. My smarty is a way better programmer though. The truck runs much smoother and better. When I had my diablosport I felt like I was killing my injectors.

My truck smokes with the Jr. on level 1. I am still running the original programming when they first came out. I'm thinking the newer programs are more smoke free, but I don't want to mess with anything right now.
