dictater Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 This has been building and now seems omnipresent wherever I go in the country. Pimped out pickups rolling coal, that is de-tuning or is it a kind of turbo intake that produces big fat clouds of smoke when the genetic shortcoming at the wheel shifts. This fad has come and gone in the US, I think, where it was redneck sister lovers showing thier disgard for everything environmental including people exercsing like runners and cyclists and I know of at least one case when a truck was running coal over and over again on a pack of cyclist making a long ascent in the mountains of coloroda that escalated to gun play, just cause someones on a bike dont mean they're aren't packing in the good ole US of A. If anyone has insight into this trend hear would love to hear if only to satisfy my own curiostiy, why in the F--- would someone do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted September 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2020 I see these pick-ups and the automatic thought is ‘tool’ !!! I get a glance of those driving these pickups and the automatic thought is ‘hapless halfwit’ !!! The idiots driving things things look at stupid as their vehicles ! They’re a step up from the idiotic van-van motorcycle riders on those skinny tires. Who are a step below the flooktards driving the delivery vans racing around town. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I think they blank off the EGR valve which is supposed to result in a little more power. As far as I know this was never a thing in the US and not many diesel hot rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Actually, I think it is a thing in the US to block the EGR, but gas-burners don't smoke like diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see it here. As a kid, I would see all the diesel trucks smoking, but that pretty much went away in the '60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
