Smoke Valet Switch?

[John_P]

I have noticed that some of you
have a "smoke valet switch" listed
in your signature. Is this a "joke"
or an actual accessory for our trucks?
If it is a "real" item can you explain
how it works.

I could definitely use some "help"
in controlling my smoke!

Thanks!

Correction on my new subject.
It should read "No Smoke Valet
Switch.

John, Joe D. is the one that told me about this. It is an on-off electrical vacuum swicth that doesn't let the AFC move, making the cam on the AFC your torque plate when the vacuum is off.

It was a device I thought up a while ago. When I go to the airport & leave my truck at the park n fly lot they can move it to any one of three different parking lots after I leave it. I just didn't like the idea of some 17 year old car jockey taking my Ram for a joy ride. So switch on & they only have about 200hp to play with, switch off & I get get the 470 or whatever it is at the time to play with #ad
It blocks of the boost air thats going to the afc housing.

Piers,
Mike got the first batch of them and said "you've gotta put this on today" and I did and it was the best thing I've done for security of my truck next to the kill switches. No more worries about some idiot burning my clutch by driving like a dump truck driver.

drawson, Piers and Chris:

My sincere thanks to all of you for
the e-mails and explanations.

Piers, I will try to get a hold of
you in the next couple of days for
a price/order. Thanks. BTW... ... .
I sure am enjoying my "BD Diesel
Performance" jacket I won up at
the Scheid Rally especially since
the cold weather has set in here!

Thanks again to all of you!

What do you guys think about the Valet switch helping when I try to pass the States Bi-Annual 20% Opacity (smoke) emmissions test.

The truck does not smoke much more than stock, But I`m getting nervous already.

Hey Bill, it works great for that. Probably how it got its nick name the no smoke switch #ad

My 6 Eats V8's, you let your girlfriend drive your truck? I don't think I could let her do it. I don't have to worry though, she is intimidated to drive it. Too big compared to her Neon.

LOL mine still thinks its a rocket with half power, and only 250 hp at the tires, #ad

Thanks Pier's. I posted that question so long ago I forgot about it.
