Great Smoke Stories!

[RustyJC]

Well, I've certainly learned that the DD2's don't like being "short-shifted" when pulling our 13,500 lb 5th wheel. Shift at 2200 RPM, let the revs drop back to about 1400 in the next gear and nail the throttle... . The world gets pretty black back there!



I've noticed that unplugging the CANBUS plug on the EZ so that it only acts as a boost fooler pretty well eliminates the smoke - I believe it could pass an opacity test if and when the non-attainment areas in Texas start checking diesel pickups.

I certainly learned that little snot nosed kids who come running down the driveway at your truck dont like smoke!



I was pulling out of the parking lot where I work, and just got into second gear, when I see 2 little kids running at my truck like they are going to throw something at it. before I got there, they stuck their tongue out at me. Haha, ya want something to taste? How about some unburned #2?? All I saw when I went by was 2 kids fanning the smoke out of their faces amidst a nice looking black cloud. I dont guess they will try that again! If so, I will be more than glad to contribute a pre season mosquito fogging at their house, free of charge!

Keep getting dropped from the thread...

Fellers - I'm down in GA. now. I'm in the mighty 135 hp Corolla. And you know how much smoke that thing rolls. Anyway, I'm replying to get back on the list. I keep getting dropped.

I got a new stanger GT this morning. . CPeters and I ran all the way from the outskirts of town, to the middle of downtown, and not even a mile after he got off his exit, I am sailing down south to work, and I go around a car. I go to move over, only to discover he is right there, pacing me. I speed up a little bit, he does the same, I back out of it, brake, and gas at the same time, build a quick 25 lbs or so of boost, and I am off!!! The sad part is I pulled on him by a long shot, slow down, then he comes up as if to look, not wanting anymore, but looking at what a large truck just took his @ss down the highway, and was nice enough to slow down and hang it out for him to pick up again. Haha, I got a good laugh at his expense!

got me a yellow 4 door f150 last night the new body style. i was rolling up I 71 to go home in the middle of light traffic. i was just easing up along a semi when i notice him half way over the white line tryin to get my attention well he did for sure. so i lay low for a while beside the semi giving him little burst which he swerves around each time. well finally after two miles he starts flashing his lights at me so i figured maybee he had an emergency. well as soon as i get up in front of the semi just enough to get over in safe distance he goes around me on the soot snotter side. i let him go on and when he gets by my window he holding up ol number 1 so i turn to kill get up on him push in the clutch and let him have er. by the way his nice yellow truck looked as if it were just washed. he slowed down to 60 and never got any closer to me.

What is the cheapest way to create some SMOKE???

Welcome to the TDR. The cheapest way to make some smoke is to loosen up your intercooler boots clamps, costs you nothing but power.



The smartest way is to either install a fueling box (if you have a 98. 5 and newer) or some large injectors. There are a lot of other things to be considered when doing this. Do a search on BOMB* and pick out the threads about the steps you should take.

On your 12 Valve it would be to take the rackstop out of the afc housing, and move your factory fuel plate full forward. BUT I wouldn't move the plate until I had a Exhaust Gas Temp guage to keep an eye on things!



But doing that will make a little smoke, until the bombing bug bites! Hehehe :-laf look at my sig... ... I've gotten all of it in the past year and I started out just like you!Oo.

Carney Man!!!! Welcome to the TDR!!! What a great place to make your first post!



Now, My story...



I was on the way home from work today, and there was this moron in a tahoe swerving across lanes trying to pass people up. well, he got on my tail, and I mean too close for a warning, so I swerved over and punched it hard!! he hit his brakes swerving around the cloud, then about a mile down the road, he pulls up next to me, waving his hand by his nose. . I made a symbol that resembles a part of the female's anatomy, and told him that is what the smell was and he should do something about it... Well, Now he wants to race... I let him think he was winning, and I just eased into it, maybe ½ throttle or so, and just walked away like nothing. . It is no fun having no competion when someone wants to race... Anyways, I flew off, and never saw him again. .



The next one was just about an hour and a half ago... I was coming into town, because I just had to have a new pair of Full Quill Ostrich Boots, so I was on my way down there, and this little *Cute* shortbed 4x4 F250 gasser wants to play... well, he gets a smokin', I take off, leave him in the soot (Not dust) and all is fine... About a mile down the road, he comes flying by me, trying to be a bad@ss... well, I know where the cops hang out, and know they are usually out this time of day. . sure enough, we come over a hill, and there is Mr Local, taking pictures! He got on the highway, I ease out of it, he comes flying by me, gets behind the F250, and BAM!!!! There goes the disco lights!! I drove by him while he was still on the highway, honking and giving him a thumbs up. . Oh well, laugh was on him!!!

Sure has been quiet around here lately!

What's the deal? I guess everyone is out of town, or camping without internet, or something! We need more posts y'all!

OK here's one I did yesterday.



I was driving up a local state highway going to feed the calves and work on my flatbed. The road is a 2-lane blacktop with shoulders. There's one place where people always pull out of a side road, go all of 200' then take a left turn onto another side road. Since it's a 2-lane they always have to stop and hold up everyone. Well, most everyone that has no business on that road goes around on the shoulder. This little Grand Prick can't wait, so it pulls out in front of me and another guy to make their turn. We both go around on the shoulder and me being the friendly person I am I blow the horn. They blow back at me so I give them a wave with 1 finger. They get ****** so they try to follow me... they catch up about a half a mile later. They they think they're cool enough to play peek-a-boo in my mirrors. A few times they get over on the shoulder so I clutch it, wait for boost to drop, and as they slide back toward the center of my tailpipe I let it rip. Too bad I don't have enough fuel to really smoke them, but they did get a nice puff or 3 and each time they backed off a little bit. We keep going and they think they can ride my ass... like their little **** ant car is going to push me. A few times they get close enough that I can't even see their roof then they back off and romp on it and try it again. Well they backed off one time and as they run up closer I stand on the brakes. My truck has a nasty habit of when I stand on the brakes the rear wheels lock up for a second or 2, there's a loud screech and some smoke. I timed it just right for them to I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER their britches cause they tried to stop too but my truck was stopping much faster. They turned off at the next road. :-laf I too made a gesture at them telling them they were like a part of the female anatomy.

4 of us got some moron yesterday, on the way to our San Antonio Meet..

I was leading the pack, CPeters was behind me, followed by Truckstom, and Tejas Deezul... Well, some moron who just couldnt wait his turn, cut CPeters off, and got on me. . I did not give any warning clouds, but rather just laid into it, and the next thing you know, he is gone behind me, and I see him back off; way off!! by this time, CPeters comes around him, smokes him out, then Truckstom, and Tejas!!! this guy thought one truck was bad enough, but 4!! I guess he was dumbfounded... Oh well, we all got a good laugh!



Then, about 2 miles down the road, while getting on the highway, little Ford Boy pulls out right in front of me in the left lane... Ok, so I get right up on his tailgate, only to see he must be at WOT, because I saw a cute little 'haze' to say the most coming out of his stock 2" exhaust. . Well, I continue to ride his tail, then when he moves over, I ease up on him, and he is :{ at me, so I lay into the smoke, with everyone behind me... about 2 more miles later, I move into the right lane, and here he comes, only to slow down to give me 2 thumbs up and a big ... All in all, it was pretty fun!

From over x-mas break....

First, a little backround. I am from a small town of about 800 people... farming community, everyone knows everybody sort-of-a-thing... anyway, it's not uncommon on Friday/Saturday night to meet people at the local texaco to go find something to do... .



Well, I was riding with Denis ('01. 5 CTD w/ same BOMBs as me, except he has DD3's instead of M3's) and we were heading to pick up Lucas ('97 CTD w/ too much fuel and not enough air) when we got a call from Luke on the cell. Luke says to Denis, "Hey, I just went by the drugstore and Jesse (Denis' little brother, with "little" being a relative term anymore as he went from the little boy we used to pick on to where he now rivals his older brother in size and I WILL NOT pick on the kid anymore) and a bunch of his friends are standing RIGHT BY THE ROAD ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE!!!" He said "I didn't see them till it was too late to really smoke 'em good, but you can get 'em really good if you stop right by them!" So, as we pulled up there about 2 minutes later, sure enough they were still hanging out by the back end of a pickup along side the road... pretty much on the road, not more then about 2 feet from the tailpipe of Denis' pickup. Sooooooooooo... ... . Jesse and his friends, expecting to talk to us, all line up as we slow down, Denis slowly rolls past them and then stops at just the right time, and mashes both the brake and the soot-pedal!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA You've never seen people trying to get away so fast!!! The spot from the road to the building next to it between the two parked vehicles was COMPLETELY filled with smoke!!! This is right where they were standing too!!! They were swatting at the air and running and jumping trying to get away from it! It was so funny we couldn't help but drive back by to have a good laugh at their expense!



They were all good sports about it though and later that night said they should have known what was gonna happen after what Luke did!



Anyway, that's my only smoke story from the last month or so... am driving a lot easier around school now and not letting the little ricers on my a$$ get to me... don't need to get another performance review from the police officers!

Hey snowracer, I like the little dude at the end of your post, smokin and shiftin, cool!

 

[snowracer69]

Wow guys, this is pi$$ poor! I had to do a SEARCH to find this thread.....



Anywho, was pulling out of Fry's parking lot today and traffic at the light about 200 yds away wasn't moving, so I was free to go, but something caught my eye... it was a black 3500 D'Max rolling around the corner and blowing smoke! So, I was going to have to pull out in front of him and cross two lanes to get to my turn lane, but I was rolling and my pickup was still cold, causing a 2nd gear start (almost have to come to complete stop after it up-shifts before it will go back into 1st). Well, cold engine + 2nd gear + comp on 2x3 = mucho smoke! Once it finally spooled he was only about 75 yds back and I was crossing his lane and left a nice big cloud there. I watched him roll through it, and even though it was a D'max, it looked pretty cool as this shiny black truck came rolling through the big black cloud w/ all the seperation and vortices that happened around the pickup.



Anywho, red-lights ahead of us and he changed into the lane closer to me as he came up and stopped short of the car in front of him next to me. Older gentlemen, cowboy hat, looked like a Wrangler jacket... ya know, the workin' man that has cows and stuff. He just looked over, gave me a nod and smiled as he drove off. Then I saw his 4" chrome turn-down and a god-awful blue "hue" coming out of his exhaust as he hammered down leaving the intersection... it wasn't a nice black cloud... maybe his was cold or something.



Anyway, that's all the smoking I've done recently, and that wasn't even on purpose! I's just gettin' out the dam road!

Chris- Get your truck back and running yet? This thread has been kinda dead since your truck went down.

Those of you who take pride in your road rage might consider that in some places as many as one out of three people carry a firearm in their car. However, even if someone got shot (admittedly a disproportionate punishment for merely being a jerk) I doubt that the other rocket scientists would learn anything from it.
