Smoke Generator

How many guys would like their truck to make as much smoke as they wanted, regardless of whether it was more powerful or not?

Inquiring minds want to know...

But what EXACTLY would that do to the truck? Would that mod be considered HYPE?

No thanks, smoke is just power you can't use and a waste of fuel economy.

Any mod is hype if it doesn't adequately fulfill it's intended and claimed function.

The Smoke-U-Later will support climate-changing fog banks of black smoke, have no adverse effects on mileage, and most likely will be black-listed by GreenPeace... get yours before the Kyoto protocols become the law of the land!

Larry is right. Again.

I don't mind a little, but I prefer to not have more than a slight haze under normal driving...

try driving a non-turbo diesel, and keep it from smoking.

Great idea - it's a lot cheaper to take the turbo OFF than it is to put fueling bombs ON, if all you want is the black stuff...
