How to get my truck to smoke?

Question

I just got a 1972 C10 chevy truck and I want her to smoke like a bad habit. I have seen a friends Dodge Diesels that puts up a black cloud and thats what I want to replicate. He got some industrial injectors and i know cant do that when im running a carb, is there another way to do it? I dont want to do any harm to the engine, I could care less about fuel mileage and the more smoke the better!

Also I dont give a d**n about the environment you tree huggers can say what you want. I live in Alberta and we dont care about pollution. I want my truck to smoke and fly like a bat out of h**l so you cant stop me.

Answer 1

I had a good answer for you up until you said you wanted it to smoke and go like h**l.  Sorry, cant help.  Wish you had not said you were from Alberta.

Answer 2

I like the burning tire idea.

Answer 3

In udder words... U are an attention seeker.  

Whats the point of that?

U'll fly past onlookers so fast n smokey u wont be able to hear their comments not see em in da rear vision mirrors.

Like duhhhh.

Answer 4

you dont have a diesel... you could pour gas in the carb and flood the c**p out of it. it will smoke like a pig and run even worse.   gas motors dont work like diesels . to get black smoke from it,  will kill it.  light a tire on fire and leave it in the back of the truck..that'll burn black...  

Answer 5

grab a whole bung of garbage, put in the trunk and let it burn while u drive :) i know its not the same but u will be successful in making the biggest smoke in the hood ;)

Answer 7

I hope I can help you out.  Instead of using regular gasoline, add 50% diesel and 50% gasoline and filled your motor with oil to the max, I am think you have a 350, use about 10 quart motor oil.  You'll see all kind of smoke coming out of the tailpipe as well as under the hood.  Who know, you may out smoked your friend truck!

good luck with your venture!

Answer 8

Alright you have heard what all the tree hugging hippys have had to say, now heres what to really do. Pull the valve covers and remove the valve springs and keepers. Them pull off the valve stem seals. You will smoke like a senior citizen on leave to Las Vegas. I don't encourage such actions but this will get the job done.

Answer 9

Pour two quarts of engine oil into the gas tank the next time you fill up. Add a pint of transmission fluid behind that and start her up. Bring a gas mask!

Answer 10

Put some oil in the gas tank, just like you would for a two cycle engine, and don't use synthetic, just use the cheapest c**p you can find.

Answer 11

put some extra oil on it and you will see

Answer 12

isn't Canada were most tree huggers run too?

Answer 13

LOL why not give it a pipe? or there's always the crazy option of using fire or something explosive, but don't blame me if you get caught lol

Answer 14

I think that you could adjust the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, by adjusting the throttle position sensor, by having more fuel delivered to the carb, you are going to burn rich the fuel, and its going to create a black cloud. The throttle position sensor is set besides the carb, and you can adjust it with a screwdriver, back or forward. Its gonna be like a small box with some wires running to it, and its gonna have an adjustment gap attached to the carb. you are gonna have to set it completele to one side first, and try to run it, if it doesnt create the smoke, set it towards the other side. also take off the catalytic converter and run a straight pipe instead of it. now, its gonna burn fuel like h**l, i hope that you make enough money to buy the fuel. good luck. This is may cause the engine to flood itself, and cause the engine to vibrate a lot when you are not accelerating it, in some cases it can shut down. but if you really want to do this, those are the risks. make sure that you mark the throttle position sensor with liquid paper or something similar, in case it doesnt work, so you can adjust it back to the normal position. also, put a K&N air filter on it.  just in case, go to http://www.2carpros.com/forum/ and ask them for free what can you do to make your truck smoke.

Answer 15

dump into low gear and dump a lot of gas in and you'll get a little of that diesel effect.

Answer 16

Why do you care about that?

Yeah, my truck looks like a flaming !@#$ going down the road!!! Only an idiot would be impressed by something like that.

Answer 17

diesel throws up more smoke than gas

gas just doesnt burn the same.

what you could do is switch or replace the headers take off the catalyctic converter and attach a nice flowmaster exhaust, youll get a nice low rumble and more smoke as well as some added horsepower. removed converter is illegal in some states, just re-read it oh canada our home and native land

as for the oil things, suggestions dont pay attention that will seriously f*** up your engine in the long run, especially with something 36 years old and carburated.

Answer 18

I dont know whole lot about about cars/trucks but i thought if it smoked there is something wrong with it. my dad had a mazda mx6 that had blue smoke and were told the engine needed to be replaced.

like i said i dont know any thing about vehicles

Answer 19

if you can somehow rig up your winshield washer hose into your air cleaner so it squirts into the carb, you can make this work.... Fill your washer reseviour with used transmission oil....That will make all kinds of smoke!!!!! and clean the carbon out of your engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 20

peer pressure the truck into it. tell it all the other trucks are doing it

Answer 21

Your gas fueled truck will never smoke like a diesel and if it does you are going to do serious damage to the motor as you are dumping way to much fuel into the engine and it can not burn it all
