[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 295229, member: 2862"] To be blunt, I found TS products to be junk and refused to sell them, even when attractive purchasing offers were made. As far as the stock setting smoking like mad, have you tried putting the stock chip back in to see what happens? It may be that you've damaged the turbo, or you simply have an intercooler boot coming off. One of the first things that any truck with performance add-ons should have is a pyrometer and a boost gauge. Once you've boosted power, you need more than the stock instruments to monitor the engine. Cowboy, I hear what you say about smoke. I r supposedly all growed up now, but I still like to see that black coal from time to time. A couple things to keep in mind though: 1) The objective of performance add-ons is performance. Excessive black smoke is actually killing performance, not enhancing it. 2) With the above in mind, excessive smoke means you're not getting your monies worth. 3) The next greenie that sees smoke rolling out of your truck may be the greenie to call their elected representative and complain about those stinkin' diesel trucks. That hurts us all, stocker or not. The US (and by extension Canada, since we share your ECM/PCM programs) has went way overboard on soot control. This is why modern diesels get worse fuel economy than their predecessors. Multiple injection events are great for power, however soot regulations have meant that the meat of the injection event must come post-TDC. We're not getting all our bang for our buck out of a drop of diesel fuel anymore, and the more smokey trucks on the road, the worse its going to get for us. Rod [/QUOTE]
