Unfortunately my Ford rolls coal to a small degree after the Cummins was slightly modified. I need the extra power in the Appalachians. It means the truck is not burning fuel efficiently. I’m looking for a way to get more complete combustion. Until then I try not to rabbit the throttle.
Protesting against a regime drunk on its own power is the American way.
Drove a wrecker my first tour of Germany, M816 5T. Normally governed at 2100 RPM my Cummins NHC 250 was jacked to 2850 so instead of 56 MPH it did 80. I also crimped the return line on the injector pump to force more fuel into the engine. It looked like an old locomotive going down the Autobahn :)
The NY Slimes just discovered Rolling Coal? It has been around for years. Here’s just one of many videos from Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdDxjge5hmY
Several minutes later, the truck returned to smoke them out a second time.
What the hell. Can you believe it? Mr. Gelder remembers shouting to his friend Steve Fischer, a Canadian journalist who was touring with him. Its like weapons. They think: Were entitled to our guns, and were entitled to our roads, Mr. Gelder said. Its almost an assault.
The group alerted the police in Morristown, Vt., who Mr. Gelder said took no action. Andrew Glover of the Morristown Police Department said that officers would probably not pursue the case.
We dont have a law against whatever they did, he said.
Mr. Fischer later wrote up the groups ordeal for the Canadian news network CBC. I gave the driver my middle finger and yelled words I am not allowed to use on the CBC website, Mr. Fischer reported.
Go rollers!
I never had any interest in owning a diesel until now LOL !
I have a friend who has dual stack on his truck and he loves to roll coal. Every time I see him, I say, “Hey Greg. That’s really cool what you do with your truck. What do you call that? Smokin’ pole?”
Every single time, he gets upset and start cussing me. I’ve done it at least a dozen times. I’m kinda bored with the joke, but anything that gets a rise like that one has to just keep going.

I hate the emission on diesels The turbo and oil get sooted up and the particulate filter gets hot so fear a fire in grass when off road.
A bumper sticker I saw:
“Black Cloud Militia”
I distinctly remember letting one tailgater on I-94 have it. They instantly disappeared and when the smoke cleared they were about a 1/4 mile behind! I miss that car.
They are jerks. Rudeness shouldn’t be celebrated.
It’s not just modified trucks... My 89 dodge bone stock 12v Cummins would black out the freeway by downshifting and stomping the gas... probably did it a few times by accident just making a pass until I looked in the mirror, then I used it a few times to let people know they were driving like an idiot... seemed to make the point better than honking a horn.
