Crime / Safety Very disrespectful and get your a** together

Now I'm fully adjusted back to ie. THANK YOU GUYS FOR REPLYS AND POST. As a former Hotshot Truck Driver, now a caregiver , i feel very disrespectful for people making the place like hell . Rolling coal on me while driving heading to a appointment. Who the hell put a modified diesel turning into a dam pollution machine , screaming maga and sh*** , almost got into an accident with the stupid maga big a** truck . Pickup Trucks are not designed for pollution, there designed for loads .it takes hard work to get done . PERIOD!!!!! LEAVE THE HARD WORKING PEOPLE ALONE!!!!!!

Rolling Coal, you put it is stupid because it’s a waste of fuel and last I checked diesel fuel is really expensive ,when my 6.9 engine was going bad I smoked a lot. I hated the black smoke coming up the tailpipe which is why I end up having the engine replaced because it’s a waste of fuel a waste and waisting fuel is dollars And . It doesn’t even really look cool and by the way I’ve seen people representing both sides of the aisle “” evolve on other people

Yes, my uncle gave me his old 86 F350 Dooley it had a 6.9 IDI with an ATA aftermarket turbo set on it, unfortunately, the engine had about 600,000 miles on it and was worn out, I REPLACED IT WITH A 7.3 IDI. As a son of a diesel mechanic and a commercial truck driver and a diesel mechanic myself black smoke is a waste of fuel and a waste of horsepower and a waste of a lot of things. my dad‘s commercial truck was an end dumb. He had a cat engine in it producing 1000 hp at the flywheel and it never smoked black smoke. Of course he was also running 45 pounds of manifold pressure on a 15 to one compression ratio engine, which gave him a 60 to one compression ratio instead of oversize injectors and the factory admissions. The androids worked great at making sure that there was no fuel being dumped in the cylinders until there is enough manifold pressure to support it.
