Be honest with your selves. If you could you know you'd push the button

I've never actually seen a tuner with a smoke tune. I think one has to pay extree ( in my best slingblade voice) for that.

I've never heard of it.

Thankfully, thankfully, it hasn't caught on here.

If it did I'm sure it would be popular.

It’s just more fuel. Smoke is incomplete combustion. The tuner can increase pulse width at any point. Typically tunes cost the same no matter what you want them to do. I have roughly 10 different tunes from over the years but only go between 2. My tow tune which has tighter shifts and pulled fuel. My everyday which is a hot race tune. This actually gives me the best mileage and smiles. Whenever my dad drives my truck, he loves the coal “button”.

…..can I hav sum mustard with that?...……..mmm hmmm

Guys are going to find a way to be douchebags no matter what; it seems to be easier if they have just a little extra money.

I think it's cute when I park next to lifted bro dozer in my stock Unimog and I still have way more ground clearance than they do.

Then there was this cute little thing: Bigger than what? Your daughter's Barbie Jeep?

Unimog is the trump card!:D

Why's it always gotta be political?!?

:D

Yep. I see no real difference between rolling coal and me tooling (literally :eek:) around in my crackling and popping on closed throttle, shrieking at open throttle/open wastegate, 9mpg fuel guzzling Turbo, other than I would whoop some coal ass in an acceleration contest. :D

As a cyclist, I'm opposed to rolling coal but as a car guy I do like the extra power. I have few friends with de-smogged trucks and they do seem to run better.

Yesterday I was next to a relatively new Dodge pickup, jacked up a little with bigger wheels and tires. The usual big truck set up. The light turned yellow so I hit the brakes on my Cayman while he hit the gas. I must say I was impressed! Sure there was a lot of black smoke but there was also 4 tires clawing for traction and truck squirming to stay straight as it rocketed through the light.

That is a polite way of blowing your own whistle about getting your whistle blown.

Sunday morning early..4 lane wide road with good shoulders, there I was on my bike hugging the curb basically riding in the glass and crap that collects, next thing an @55 face in a lifted F250 with huge wheels and stickered up decided it would be hilarious to cloud me in coal. He took off laughing, but I followed him to his apartment complex and it got heated between us. I am not a "mary" or violent, but was ready to sting like a bee. I created a post on this incident when it happened, there good traffic and replies on it.

Oh I’m getting my whistle blown trust me. And it has nothing to do with posting here but everything to do about what I posted here.

Today's mouth breathing missing link. He pulls his race car with it . Super active in the classic Mopar drag scene .
There is a tuner in it, and he has an aftermarket bullet style muffler, otherwise , stock. It is a little bit louder than stock, but still pretty quiet in the cabin. Actually sounds really nice .
No deletes. Pulls like a freight train.
Guy is a machinist . Really soft spoken, polite, clean cut guy. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1593524383.jpg
Make sure to ridicule him when you are out leisure riding on your $3500.00 road bike , with $800.00 worth of team gear spandex on, and he passes you.
I'm just kidding though, I like cycles too.
I think the truck/cycle thing, is just like everything else on the internet. Just a bunch of people getting triggered about 2 or 3 incidents that they saw a 30 second yt video of, then lumping everybody into that same bad apple category.
To be honest, I grew up in suburbia. I always used to kind of look down at the truck guys. Thought of them as rednecks, hillbillys etc. Then I rented from a guy who had a bunch of trucks. I got to help him build a couple of big block dually's . and plow/work trucks. It was pretty enjoyable. What could possibly be better, than taking a tool, that you use to make money with, and making it even better, more powerful , better suspension etc..
Then I moved to the country and mingled with a bunch of workers, farmers, truckers, construction guys and for 5 years, at least 50 frack truck welder rigs from Texas would pass my shop on a daily basis. Man, some of them were really tough looking trucks. I guarantee most had over 100k invested.
I fought it , but the hook eventually set

This is why I have a gas-powered truck.
Occasionally I fill 5-gallonn jugs with diesel for my tractor and generator.
Diesel pumps and the surrounding area are always a mess.

I'm a diesel truck owning cyclist. Not a mary by any stretch, but I don't particularly care for being covered in carcinogens either. I don't mind the sound of a tuned diesel at all, but making smoke is a sign of missing brain cells.

See, that isn't a Bro-dozer though. I bet he doesn't sit at a stop light and roll coal over all the other cars while sitting there either.

Hehe heh - I love it. I'm that "MFI guy", except it's more like 250 hp and at least some attempt at a muffler (Dansk RSR style, which surprisingly is about as loud as my Dansk single out sport). And yes, it will make my buddies' eyes water when they follow me, I hear about it all the time.

The difference, though, is none of that is done specifically just to make some kind of a statement, or even worse, specifically just to annoy others. The car is just a throwback to its time, when those "features" were very much a part of the motoring scene, at least with certain cars. It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to do anything about it. Oh, I suppose I could instal some form of modern EFI, or just buy a newer car. I certainly cannot tune the stink out of it - it's just the nature of the beast.

These coal rollin' ass holes, on the other hand, have taken modern trucks that do not do that, that have no need to do that to perform, and have modified them to do that. With the sole purpose of annoying others. No other reason. It actually makes them run worse, and if driven constantly like that, will eventually damage them. So, honestly, not the same situation in the least.

I believe "Karen" is the correct term.

And, no, I'm no "Karen" either. I could care less about these guys. More power to 'em, they are having fun. No harm no foul. Until, that is, they actually do either thoughtless (or intentional) schitt to callously annoy others.

Two stories: My wife and I were sitting at an outdoor cafe in Seattle one nice summer afternoon. Guy pulls up in his massively lifted bro dozer with the 8" diameter open exhaust and parks it curb side right next to all of us dining outside. He left it running as he hopped out of the cab and started for a business next door. One gentleman (seated with his wife) politely asked this guy to shut it off, because the exhaust was pointed directly at all of us trying to eat. The guy stopped and looked at this gentleman and muttered something I couldn't hear and just kept going.

My God was that thing loud, and boy did it stink. So, a young man at another table (again, with his wife or girlfriend) quickly hopped up, opened the door, shut it off, and tossed the keys up on top of a passing metro bus. Meanwhile, another guy must have been calling 911 on his cell, anticipating some level of altercation when the guy came back out. And there almost was... the guy was livid, and in a full-on threatening rant - right when the cops showed up. Of course, no one saw a thing. And he was illegally parked to boot... We saw the ticket getting written, and I assume it got towed, but we left before that happened. What a glorious ending to one man's callous disregard for others. And yes, if it were some stinking old idling 911, I probably would have been the one to ask him to shut it off.

Several years ago, I spent about three weeks in Wichita doing some consulting from an AOG tool engineering perspective at the beginning of the new Air Force Tanker program. I had a second floor hotel room with a balcony. Some guy who was staying there for about two of those weeks had the bro dozer from hell, this one with the massive vertical stack (at least a foot in diameter) up through the bed behind the cab. I left early every morning, like 5:00-5:30 or so, but he left even earlier. He had one of the then new remote start systems on it, and would start it and let it idle for at least 10-15 minutes before he left every morning. No problem whatsoever on the nights he parked it out across the parking lot somewhere, but he often parked it right up against the building, right outside of someone else's room, right under someone else's balcony. Loud as hell, stinky as hell. No consideration for others whatsoever.

As I was having breakfast one morning, I could hear a pretty heated argument outside, so I stepped out on the deck. Down below, a few doors over, was this guy getting into it with another guy still in boxers, tee shirt, and slippers. It was obviously the guy who was unfortunate enough to be in the room right behind the truck. The miserable prick in the truck was shouting things like "I can park wherever the hell I want".

So, why yes, you can... Over the course of the next week or so, he parked right under my balcony several times. Every time he did, I did my best to piss down that big assed stack from up on my balcony. Every time he did, I shot baskets into it with my garbage. When I missed (which was often), I would just run down and pick it up and try again. It was a fun little game for a few days. Apple cores, banana peels, coffee grounds, beer cans, you name it. Unfortunately, he checked out before I could ascertain how much it would take to clog it up.

So, again, no problem with the guys who are considerate about it. Loud Harleys, loud muscle cars, loud stinky diesels - none of them bother me in the least. Only the guys who are obnoxious pricks about it.

Amen!

NOT a problem to own a modified diesel. It's not my thing since I don't tow anything, but I appreciate the power and capability.
^That.^ There's a difference between a guy that has a modified truck so the truck is more capable, and a guy that's got a setting on his tune so he can dump maximum smoke just for the sake of the smoke.

Exactly



Those are great stories, although the guy that tossed the keys on the roof of the bus was kind of an ass. Better to have just put them on the roof of the truck or in the console or something.

Agreed, it was a real dick move. I was glad I was only a spectator. It can be interesting to see dickheads collide sometimes, though...
