Tapped my exhaust installing fender flares the other day. Seen this. Started the truck and poof it went. This ain’t normal is it?
This truck will smoke darker than its own paint job. I bet I can hide the entire truck during high noon in its own cloud. So aggravating.

Nope. Straight pipe from the turbo back. The previous owner said it was fully deleted. It is not. They only did the exhaust so they could have extra storage. I guess they wanted to be able to carry bottles of water in the exhaust. LOL.
I’m not quite for sure why they wanted the huge tip. I was going to pull that big tip off. But it’s welded.
I know trucks that roll all the time will spot up. But that’s a bit much in my opinion. But I don’t know enough about diesel trucks to know about it.
I’ve spent the past 3 years researching the 7.3 and 6.0 that I had (still have the 6.0) that I got fed up with them constantly breaking down. Then when my 6.0 seized up I said screw it and got another dodge. Just this time I got a diesel instead of gas. So now “I got a Cummins.” LOL.
That really is catchy. Seems to fit perfect.

No idea what that could be.
Is the forward converter still in place? It's right under the turbo.
If the forward converter is still in place, it could be partially clogged. That would cause allot of smoke

I know there’s what looks like a flex pipe. I’ll have to crawl back under there today. Didn’t get to make any headway this morning on looking anything over. So I’ll have to try after work.
Seems like I landed on an odd ball year. They didn’t go long with the 3rd gens.

I used to get soot like that when I was running just SIMS for the 'delete on the cheap' until I could afford a real race tuner. Proper tuning should clear that right up.

I just got through like 58 post on different tuners. Thought I had a good grasp on it. Til I got to the end and yeah I’m more confused now than when I started it. Seems like only particular ones work with particular models and some don’t work at all.

It's enough to make your head spin that's for sure.
The RaceME/Smarty Jr is a good budget friendly option. That's what I had before going to custom tuning and I was very satisfied.

I know that I’ll be upgrading the injectors and turbo on this truck. When I have no idea as right now I feel as I have plenty of power for what I need it to do. But I have been off roading in the truck yet. But I’ve pulled 9,200 lbs with cruise control set at 70 mph. And it pulled like a champ.
I know programmer wise I would like to monitor the engine. So that will eliminate some choices right off the bat. I don’t mind adding some gauges, but I prefer to not loose me grab handle.
