I used to get those every now and then when I had my diesel Mercedes.  Few times, I was required to take in to smog referee.  It sucked, but the car was always in proper operating parameters.  Most likely it is some Richard Head Prius owner having a coronary about the freedom of choice (albeit temporary) for vehicle selection.  If it is not a call to action, I would ignore it for now.  If you keep getting them, you will be called into the smog ref. also.  Just make sure that you have the correct tune when you go in.

I sure hope that the beaters emitting a smoke screen trailing behind them on the freeway for five miles also get cited.

i dont understand why you would want your truck to "roll coal" in the first place.  its retarded.

It is the "Hey! Look at me factor", same reason people bump their insane loud sound systems. I absolutely love the sound of a tuned diesel going hard. But the whole smoking people out is getting old. Just my opinion though and to each their own.

Might wanna check your tune brother...black smoke out off a diesel truck it's no bueno unless you have a smoke tune on it. They can f you pottery hard if too many people report you.

"Stupid move...shouldn't have done that"

Black diesel smoke is unburned fuel .. kwood, you have a banks 6gun?

a fast diesel is a CLEAN burning diesel.  not a crappy tuned black smoke burning diesel. 

bingo.  you have the "i wanna be annoying" tune.  get popped again and you'll be off to the CHP inspection station/smog ref with some hefty fines.

hahaha its a simply unstall... no ref problems here. theres one of those fast clean burnig clean diesel tunes also but i only use that one  on hondas

So I'm assuming this would be frowned upon..

what a D-bag move.

I'm not gonna bear around the bush here, either your truck runs like crap or your an a$$ hole and after reading some of your posts it's seems your trucks fine.


Do the diesel community a favor, sell your truck, buy a ford ranger with a dirt bike permanently mounted in the bed and move on. And don't forget the flat bill hat.

I had I dude do that to me on the fourth of July, we were sitting in chairs waiting for a parade to start and he thought it would be funny....

I didn't think it was nearly as funny as the four guys sitting next to us (had the whole family including my 93 year old grandmother with us) that chased him down and drug him through the window of the truck and proceeded to kick his ass... Funny, but charges were never filed on the four pissed off  jocks. Go figure.

The diesel community has enough shit to deal with as far as douche bag environmentalists (Yes, I own a Diesel 4X4 AND a hybrid) without the help of even bigger douche bag diesel owners... Why do you think these idiotic smog laws exist?

Grow up.

...and this too

I have a diesel also. The black smoke is merely unburned/wasted fuel. There are plenty of other ways to make power than dump extra fuel. Not to mention over time its hard on rings and cylinders among other things
