@MrCamaroDave - Single S362 in this vid. It's at 20*, but don't go over 16.5 without O-rings, fire rings, and/or studs.

@urbex2007 - while you are correct that black smoke is unburned fuel, there is nothing "wrong" with the truck. There is no DPF, exhaust sensors, egr, plugged air filter, or fuel pressure issue with the truck as this was only mandated in 2007 model year and newer trucks (although egr was around before). Moderate throttle produces almost no (visible) smoke from the truck. It is mechanically injected (late 90s) and the system operates at about 20% the pressure of more modern common rail systems

[urbex2007]

Next you need to fix the fuel pressure problem. The black smoke is unused diesel from the combustion process (or a completely blocked air filter which would give an error code). Excess diesel causes damage and makes exhaust valves stick open, reducing power. It soots up the turbo, manifold, egr, cat and dpf. Diesels producing real power do not smoke as the maximum amount of fuel that fits in to each cylinder is combusted. smoke=broke, learn about engines and ignore the boy racers who are thick.

@urbex2007 - Show me a diesel that makes 1.5hp+/cubic inch and I will show you a smoker. More fuel = more power = more smoke, unless you are Gale Banks and have a multimillion dollar testing facility and a staff of engineers, which I am guessing you do not. Educate yourself with reality and experience before you go on an ignorance bash and insult people's work the next time you pick up a magazine ad/article and become an instant "internet expert" mechanic.

is 320,000 km high for a 2001 cummins? im looking at buying it but i dont know if thats high or not?

[bluthndr]

@sleepybone321 - I have owned 5 Cummins Dodges, and the lowest mileage one have 130K miles. I have seen guys get 500,000 to 800,000 miles without overhaul. Hope that helps.

@bluthndr Gotta remember, gale banks runs so much nitrous in his drag trucks he could blow up all of youtube!! Thats why his trucks don't smoke! Nice truck friend!!

[rangaman86]

@jonesd5o Haha thats the sound mine makes!! I just put a straight pipe on it. All I can say is wow. With the chip off it sounds like a big rig coming down the road, with the chip turned up it vibrates your eardrums!! Sounds amazing but I don't think its going to last, cops will eventually put an end to my fun.
