The guy who complains about feeling "vulnerable" reminds me of Obama's Pajama Boy. He needs to grow up and grow a pair. OTOH, the d-baggery of "rolling coal" just to annoy people is effed up. Owning a Duramax Ram doesn't make you a d-bag but intentionally blowing black smoke on people just for the laughs does.
I love it, especially when it's some d bag bicyclist getting smoked out. Doing it to families isn't cool...unless they are in a Prius.
New emissions requirements for late model vehicles will basically sort the 'problem' out. DPFs and DEF requirements are in place at this point.
Oh, and if you drive with your tow mirrors flipped with no trailer, go fuck yourself. If you put wheels that are chrome and 20" plus on your truck, same story.
They used to call Cummins motors "ragburners". Even with no programmer, my pump just loves to dump fuel, so I'm pretty absurdly smokey any time I'm under load. I'm talking 19th century locomotive style smoke. Yet I fly through emissions.Quote:

About sums it up.

Holy wow, the just flat wrong information in this thread is staggering...
To say that dbags prefer Dodge over the others is like saying that dbags prefer AR-15's over FAL's... The simple fact of the matter is that Dodge has/had the better midsize truck diesel engine and sold LOTS of them. Trying to say the current Cummins is better than the current Duramax or current Powerstroke is a matter of opinion. They have all had their generations of motors that sucked more than others.
There are two different types of tuners out there. There are box tuners, which 99% of people with a diesel will use, and then there are the custom tuners (available for certain years, and models etc). Unfortunately, the box tuners (Bullydog, Smarty, H&S, Edge, etc) are a "one-size-fits-all" solution, so their tunes are conservative to prevent engine damage due to tolerance ranges in each motor. This means they primarily use more fuel to build more power (instead of balancing a little more fuel with timing, increased air, and other factors). This means the truck is going to smoke more, but it will usually result in better fuel economy than the truck had stock.
I have a 6.7l cummins, that currently is runnning 525/1019 HP/TQ at the rear wheels, and it gets significantly better mileage than when it was the factory 350/600 at the crank. The better mileage comes as a side product of using a tuner to increase the power. Properly tuning the motor, and making it more efficient means more power, and better economy (to a point - At some level, the production of more power requires more fuel, which means that economy might suffer). In it's current state, I have gotten 26MPG out of the truck when running unloaded on the highway (hand calculated, not the lie-o-meter in the truck).
The DPF and DEF systems are only there to give greenie-hippie-homos a warm fuzzy by eliminating the seen soot of a diesel. They don't get all wound up that a gasoline engine actually produces more harmful emissions than a diesel, because they can't see it...
hellfire that ain't nuthing my truck runs on pure moonshine!
Yes I did.Quote:

His friend Cory Wiggins, originally from Louisiana, said he liked the look and feel of a truck that could roll coal, and so do women.
"It's just something cool, the ladies like it," said Wiggins. "It's just fun, it's exciting, it puts you back in your seat."
You ever been to "NoCo"?Quote:
