Default One of my favorite things to do in my truck

is blow black smoke all over people But I only do it to people when they deserve it...err...ah...well...most of the time deserve it

see...when the throttle is applied generously with the 125 hp chip, large, thick black diesel smoke clouds pour out the tailpipe until the turbo spools up...especially when leaving at WOT from a stop. The cloud is so thick from a stop you sometimes can't see the car behind you. It is a very useful tool.

This feature of the truck has several uses...

1. There is a ricer next to you or behind you at a stoplight. Full throttle immediately on green light. If you can get him just right he will probably be dusting diesel soot off his neon shift ****.

2. You notice a HEMI cruising behind you on the freeway. Alternate between 0% and about 80% throttle every three seconds to repeatedly throw clouds of black smoke at him. When he gets tired of it and floors his truck to pass you, beat his trucks ***.

3. Someone honks thier horn at you in traffic when it's obvious they're the dumbass. Position the truck so thier vehicle is the correct distance and angle from the tailpipe, taking into account wind speed and direction, and then you know what to do. For bonus points you can watch them cough and roll down thier windows in your rearview mirror.

childish...yeah probably, but very entertaining

See, I told you it was useful.

That has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a LONG time.

Good job.

Hmmm, sounds fun. I need something like that.

I used to have a windshield washer squirter pointed up over the truck, so it showers the car behind me. Thats pretty fun when you've got an aggressive tailgater behind you.

When diesels run at our track, they usually run against each other. After they run, if theres no wind, the next in line have to wait extra long to run until the smoke clears. Its badass.

What about a controllable pointable exhaust tip to have perfect aim?

Sounds like my evil plan when I get a Dmax...

I plan to purchase a MiniDV camcorder and have that ATS 4" setup on there with dual pipes okay? Well I'm going to need a lot of fuel for this (boxes and injectors probably)...

My goal is to find a yuppie with a convertible with the top down and with a chick riding in the car with him. I will have to be about 1/2 a truck length in front to do my deed......begin to torque up the truck and blow plumes of black fuel smoke into their faces WHILE taping it at the same time!

Now this will be very dangerous but oh so highly comical!

lol, i have done it MANY times to ricers or bikes that crawl up my ***! ok doing it to the bikes is mean, but who cares. they tailgate and are dangerous. the edge juice with attitude has that "smokebomb" setting. i believe it is called low rpm fueling or throtte response. no doubt at all times the throttle response is at the highest setting for the most fuel/smoke down low.

also it is great to hit someone when they want to race and blow the smoke into their window while passing them!
