Patrolling
I just returned from a trip to North Alabama and had a blast driving roads that were barely two lanes with no lines. Also, got to take the rig on some old forest service dirt roads. Remember that I am unloaded for the entire trip besides myself, my wife, my buddy, two dogs and necessary emergency type items in the bed.
Anyhow, from what I understand under hard acceleration/long hills I should see some black smoke (NOTE: I am not trying to get black smoke I just want to ensure that my engine is properly running!). I had quite a few long grades where I was barely going 35 mph and ******* out the EGT's at 1100-1150. While in those conditions I would have small amounts of whitish/gray smoke.
My understanding is that my timing might be retarded? What do you guys think? Note: I hit 1350 on the EGT's once while avoiding a interesting situation.........
