Here is some smoke. My truck was facing backwards (not toward the door)when this pic was taken. All three bays were full of smoke, this is the overflow. <br><br>Don~

??? ??? Possibly I'm on the wrong track here, but I've always been taught that excess smoke from any engine, means incomplete combustion..........resulting in lower efficiency, poorer fuel mileage, and carbon build-up on cylinder heads, rings, and valves. If you have a lot of excess smoke, wouldn't more air, or less fuel, cut down the smoke, and increase the power ?? Don't blast me.........I'm serious on this, and would like some input. I've been trying to cut DOWN the smoke on mine, to try and increase fuel mileage, maintain the power, and keep the CHP off my butt. Curious Lar.

You are on the right track.
