Maybe a stupid question but, I have installed a turbo back 4" cat and muffler delete, Zoodad mod, and a Edge Juice Platinium. I get no black smoke out of the exhaust even on a hard pull. I feel the power increases and the truck runs great, I wondered why I see some 6.0's smoke and some don't. Does the EGR have anything to do with it?

Thanks for a great site..

Mine will only lay down alot of smoke on a big setting if I boost it up before a launch. Other wise it just has a haze. Towing has no smoke. Smokes not power and wouldn't think EGR would stop it from smoking. Never seen a 6.0 smoke like a cummins

6.0's are more efficient I would assume. All that epa stuff makes them tough for them to smoke. I agree with F100 about the higher the setting the more smoke. A cummins will blow raw fuel out the pipe if you set it up high.:sweet My friend has a 1ton cummins with a smarty and that thing will roll smoke like its on fire. Looks cool though. I'd love to roll some out my stacks cause it would look cool.:clint:evil

I wondered if it was because of better efficency. I don't really notice any even when on Extreme mode. Guess thats ok, cause she runs awlful strong.
Thanks

Diesels smoke when over fueled. Some more fuel, some more smoke. A lot of fuel, a lot of smoke. With all of this is more power. Diesels do not run rich, they just make more power. The smoke is from over fueling.
