Nice vid. Those 6.9s sure lay out a lot of coal on diesel fuel don't they? Sounds like you have a turbo and true duals right?

Cool, that thing laid down some good smoke .

sounded like I heard a little turbo whistle myself.

I think the turbo sound was the wind through the wing window. Nice vid. cool smoke.

thats really bad for your main thrust bearing, i found out the hard way.

What is, lugging it?

yes the main thrust bearing carries the forward and rearward load of the crankshaft. when dissasembling an engine youll notice that the main thrust bearings are typically more worn on a n engine that was equipped with a manual transmission than one with an automatic. I used to blow smoke all the time and found my thrust bearing to be bronzed after 5,000 miles (yes it was a new clevite bearing) the rest of the main and rods were in good shape.

So in addition to being really bad for the environment, "huffing smoke" is really bad for your engine

so i suggest all of you stop, for the sake of your engine (and our environment)
its also a waste of fuel, i realize that sometimes it cant be avoided (when towing a load or when you want to **** off another driver) but doing it to be "cool" is a waste of money, plus it smells really bad

Not any worse for our environment than gas rigs or cows for that matter. And for the record I love the smell of diesel smoke in the mornin
