My friend has a six seven with the dpf delete with a five inch straight pipe. He claims while cruising on the high way his truck will randomly smoke, without accelerating. Any ideas what is going on? He's running a Smarty

Sounds to me like he has the wrong tune and it might be randomly going into regen

Does he have any codes at all.

The only reason I say that is cause when I had the edge it would do the same thing.

Thats what I was curious about, if maybe he has loaded the S tune by accident instead of the ME tune.

Does he have any performance issues when that happens.

What do the EGT's do?

Did he miss the plug for the throttle valve? That would cause this problem. You have to be sure to follow the instructions for the deletes to the letter.

Thats the problem. The EGR is still cycling when you get those black puffs out the pipe. Black into the engine, black out.
