Coal Rollers all over the news headlines

Thank goodness my truck can pass a gasser with the four inch exhaust. This will end badly and hurt many diesel shops.
I called this 6 years ago, and was told your crazy for thinking the government cares about diesel smoke switches. Frankly, I'm shocked it took this long for the libs to put their cross hairs on it...
I hate black smoke as much as the rest of you guys, but the libs are out of control right now. This is absolutely ridiculous. Why aren't they after the gassers??? Sure they don't blow out black smoke, but a 709hp LS motor isn't exactly emissions compliant?? Maybe it really is as simple as, out of sight out of mind.
Nobody posts pictures of LS cars pouring smoke all over traffic. Meanwhile shops like Schlonghorn have built a reputation solely based on smoke and lope tunes. Their facebook page alone is enough ammo to bring the diesel performance world to it's knees. Most efi live tuners strive to make big power with as little smoke as possible. Manfred on the other hand aims to go full blown chernobyl with every tune he builds and plaster it all over the web. Unfortunately the fact that he uses efi live means that it will eventually come under scrutiny as one of the causes of coal rolling.
i am not a huge fan of obama myself, but the fact that they are calling this an anti obama movement is retarted. they obviously got there facts some from dumbass hicks who drive beater cummins and drive there 5 speeds as if 1st and second gear dont exist. who thought it would be funny to tell them **** obama while rolling coal.
when i bought my duramax, i wanted a smoke tune because i had stacks, i was talked out of it because i would look like a dumbass. gotta say tony built me some damn clean tuning, but now i wish it was 100% smoke free.

I first caught wind of this when a couple of friends showed me the Jalopnik article. A couple hours later a coworker forwarded me this article. Sadly, he incorrectly assumed that because I have a performance diesel (not that I'm saying that Faghorn-esque trucks are necessarily performance...) that I love to go out and roll coal.
Granted, I am by all accounts squarely in the target audience for coal rollers (mid 20s, conservative, male, etc.). I make it a point to ensure that my truck smokes as little as possible. Every puff of smoke out the tailpipe is wasted money and just reinforces the idea that all diesel owners love to "roll coal". There is absolutely no reason that diesels can't make power while leaving a clean stream of exhaust behind them. Don't get me wrong, though. What people do on race tracks or private land is perfectly acceptable. Diesel owners need to just keep that crap off public roads where 90% of the negative exposure is coming from.
:bdh:
As is typical for the media, they seem to only talk to the people that reinforce their propaganda. They don't want to hear from the other side of the diesel world because it would be counter to their agenda.
After all the hyped up lies that directly influenced the DPF, I'm scared to see where the "anti-rolling-coal" legislation will take diesels. Hopefully more people will do what Steve did. We need to be just as vocal against rolling coal as the proponents are for it. We need to show the media (and by extension the general public) that not all diesel enthusiasts go out there with no other purpose than blacking out several intersections.

The problem with that is when one group complains and "Does Not" want something to happen anymore they get their way. And these groups have nothing else to do other then bitch about things they don't like and stick their nose is everyones business to try to control everything.
Typical liberal media. Lets blame those damn pro America gun toting law abiding fiscally responsible think for themselfors.
I hate people who roll coal. But I hate our out of control government even more. This is typical big govt obama horseshit.

Keeping it real... Let me get some of those young punks on a wake board and I'll change their minds. :roflmao:
I actually have one of DT Nick's LLY rich/lean MAF controllers tucked away on her. It's normally clean as a whistle but every once in a while I'll lay down a little for the kiddies...
BTW, it's still legal to run straight and deleted on the water... Wanta see real crazy coal rolling? Look at a cruise ship leaving port sometime...

I have one of those too, works good. I can make a 3100 US tune completely smokeless, getts kinda sluggish off the get go but then no diff at all in power.
