ok about the egts you all have to undersatnd black smoke is fuel that does not get burned completely so therefore if the fuel is not burning then it acts like a cooler for the pistons and also black smoke occurs when the turbo has not caught up to the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber a turbo is driven by exahust gases its not like a super charger that is directly hooked to the speed of the engine it takes a little bit to spool up

to the people that are having a hard time figuring it out if its a dpf or a cat and the people that say diesels dont have cat's: this at least goes for ford... i make the cat converter and dpf at my work... the cat converter is first in line then the dpf... however the 2010's possibly or the '11 now are one peace with a soot controll resonator in between the cat and the diesel partical filter instead of the can with the cat being bolted together with the dpf can
Get it fixed - SMOKE=BROKE! You are injecting more diesel than the engine can combust. So it is wasted and doesn't provide any more power than normal. If anything you reduce power because unused diesel is being forced out of the exhaust valves. This soots up the manifold, turbo, EGR, CAT etc. It damages the engine over time. The most efficient fuelling for max power will produce NO SMOKE as all the diesel is combusted. Why don't the idiots learn how engines work and stop buying rubbish!
LOL y'all and yur "little" trucks. Wanna see smoke, grab a 565 Cummins ISX. Had a big rig with that engine, from day one, it was smoking 3 trimes that much! lol While getting 8.5mpg. Nice smoke and nice truck. Cummins is one great engine, do is the Duramax. I dont know much about the Powerstroke though
the 6.0's are fine, however unlike the 7.3 they only have 4 bolts per cylinder so under high rpm they blow but its more about how long you hold them there and how much hp you have
@powerlifter46 Other way around...the 6.0L is a horrible motor and had several recalls on the head bolts stretching and causing head/head gasket failure. The 7.3L was a reliable, great motor. And the 6.4L...well...that's just a sad motor. Way too much emissions stuff.
cleaner than any fucking prius. start up a prius in a garage and see how long you live (about three to four hours) start up a diesel and see how long u live (three to four days)
look up any diesel, and see where you see a catalytic converter, ... not look up a dpf, people who have no idea what they are talking about call them cats, they work in a completely different way.
No it is most definatly a catalytic converter. All 94 on up till 99 PSD's had cat's and from then till 03 the manuals had them, but the automatics did not.
@predracer04 This is true, but the new trucks (i.e. 2007+ cummins and the ford 6.4L all had DPF's. The new bluetec garbage. So technically...you're both right.
yeah i'm pretty sure there is... i'm not gonna say i know for a fact but for a big truck to be legal it has to exit somewhere behind the cab if its through a stack or whatever it just has to be behind the passenger part of the vehicle
and if it were noise bein the factor then i know bout every truck around here wouldn't be allowed on the street. just glad we dont have e-check in my county
thats the reason I am dumping almost 1/2 a gallon of water into the intake system durring a 300ft sled pull. It not only gets my EGT's down to 1400 degree's but a bunch of horsepower is also created.
One thing that you should know though, that alot of people don't know...with the size of injectors I am running and my fuel mods...just the fuel alone is acting as cooling. One reason how guys can run in slep pulls with super high HP where they are not alowed to run water.
If u look at the pressure in the cylinder of a diesel during power stroke its quite interesting, after injection pressure drops slightly before the fuel ignites as the fuel cools the air slightly, but this is reversed when it fires.
Its mainly petrol engines that can use fuel to cool using a rich mixture and it volatility to carry heat away, but I cant see it working on diesels.
@RyanBambach The main thing people do not understand is that black smoke is unburnt/unused diesel. Unless you make the cylinder size bigger to accomodate all that extra diesel thrown in - it will just burn off in the manifold, turbo, EGR, CAT etc. It doesn't produce any more power. Efficient powerfull diesels do not smoke. The black smoke is for show and indicates a detuned inefficient engine. It soots up the engine components too. Also indicates an ECU/fuelling problem which causes damage.
@atlasrgstr ... too rich means you have to replace spark plugs and o2 sensors running lean is what brings your egt and other temps to dangerous levels. fuel is what cools the pistons
Ok. I don't like to argue and get these huge debates on youtube. But when I read something regarding diesels that I KNOW is wrong, I have to say something. Removing the cats and muffler DOES make the engine smoke more. How do I know right? Well, I have a 95, and it was BONE stock when I purchased it. After I put my 4 inch Exhaust with the down pipe on, the smoke increased quite a bit. Especially from a stop when the turbo hasn't spooled.
A catalytic converter is not a filter, there is a platinum element that BURNS the unburnt fuel and converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide into nitrogen and oxygen. You should do a little homework before you tell someone a load of bullshit.
how do you make it smoke so much? I love when diesels smoke but mine won't at all. It's stock right now but I;m trying to find ways to make it smoke. Does putting in a chip or removing the cat make it smoke? Nice truck too
What year is the truck. Most of the smoke comes from VERY VERY big fuel injectors and a highly modified fuel pump. This engine is a mechanical fuel pump so there are no chips that can be added...1994-1998 Dodge Cummins is the engine.
its a 97 powerstroke 7.3. I've heard that injectors help but all of them are 1000$ or more for the big injectors. I'm new to diesel power so I would you modify the fuel pump?
With a '97 7.3, check to see if you have the stanadyne injector pump. There is a an adjustment screw you can give about a 1/4 turn on that will give you smoke.
We all know more fuel gives more power but at some point I wonder when, power is lost, difficult to quantify, weve all seen race diesels smoke loads, how many turns in before power lost, are we talking whole streets full?
On my lucas pump it is at its maximum and hardly any smoke! bah, its on a little ford 1.8 diesel. yes its crap!
on a 97 powerstroke the fuel pump is controlled electronically, a chip will give you some smoke. Don't listen to anyone tellin you to turn your fuel pump up, YOU CAN'T. Check out an Edge Evolution, DP-Tuner F5, Tony Wildman custom chips, or even a TS perfromance flip chip if you have a standard.
This gent' above me is absolutley right. Without a tuner, u can not make a stock powerstroke smoke. Exhaust will not get you anywhere. However From 1983 up to 1994 ford did make a diesel called the IDI(In-Direct Injection). And indeed with this engine you could in fact, turn up the stock,(mechanical) Stanadyne fuel pump for more power and plenty of smoke to spare. So wanna-be diesel men. You want smoke, Go buy and idi.
it you remove the cats and put a bigger pipes on it then it will smoke cuz you have less back pressure and more MPG and it flows out better tust lose the kitty and chip it youll love it
this thing is putting out over 1000hp. On the dyno with my big injectors the HP goes up big time and my EGT's actually fall down below 1500. With the smaller injectors I was down to 750hp and my egt's were up over 1800. When you are adding as much fuel as I am it actually cools the EGT's. I then hit it with a 1/2gallon of water durring a pull 300ft and my egt's are down close to 1200.
everybody says smoke is really bad but if that was true im sure those big dragsters and pulling tractors and trucks wouldnt smoke. im sure there is probably good diesel smoke and bad diesel smoke. when those big pulling trucks and stuff smoke it probably just means there runnin right but if some dumb hick with an old cummins is runnin around smokin everyone out it probably means his truck is just way overfueled.
just so you know its diesel not gas, the diffrence is diesel is more of an oil based product, and gas is fairly dry, but the way things keep going their gona try to force diesels to run on gas because of the so called polution. but diesels only emit pollution durring idle.
@RiceReaper Oh thank God someone who talks sense. That's two of us that now about engines then. Why do people think that injecting more diesel gives more power when power is limited by the size of each cylinder. Unless they are made bigger the extra excess diesel burns off in the manifold, turbo, EGR and CAT causing serious problems. There are so many idiots about who think smoke means power when really SMOKE=BROKE! Do the same on a petrol car and it's less forgiving.
@urbex2007 That true 100% but in truck pulling if you are physicall you using all that fuel and it no longer smokes...you are going to be having major EGT issues. When you get to the point that the water injection won't cool it down enough or the air/water intercooler, the only other option is to load up on the fuel which helps HUGE in lowering the EGT's and its proven that it doesn't hurt the HP all that much on a 1200-2500hp engine and it keeps engine from having a total melt down!

not so!
They all produce CO/CO2, the more fuel u burn the more of both, the less ifficient the more CO, but CO turns into CO2 in atmosphere.
Diesels and modern petrol produce NOx,
egr reduces this, its when Hgh CR oxidises nitrogen, cancer or something.
Modern diesels produce smaller carbon particles evidently, these can penetrate the lung wall, cancer.
