hows that heavy ford go through the mud?

ritchierich (Jun 27, 2014 at 19:58)

Very rocky up on the escarpment so nothing sinks. When through these small holes pretty good!

Thepureface (Jun 27, 2014 at 20:01)

ahhh. makes sense if it has a rocky bottom. Id be terrified to get that thing stuck in the mud. has it been stuck? can the jeeps pull it out?

Rolling coal is the stupidest trend ever.

bryandickson (Jun 27, 2014 at 20:38)

It's not a trend...it's part of a diesel if it's built, or modified really. Or just has a tuner even. Unless it's one of those guys with a smoke switch...thats just dumb.

lol

Look up "rolling coal" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

ritchierich (Jun 28, 2014 at 7:38)

I know what you are talking about. This is not a smoke switch, its a tuned diesel and does this on high hp settings.

seraph (Jun 28, 2014 at 12:42)

Fair enough. But I maintain that rolling coal (by its current definition) is stupid.

bryandickson (Jun 28, 2014 at 18:47)

I understand why you don't like it, each to there own. But when you mod a Diesel, it is going to "roll coal". Some people enjoy modding cars, others enjoy to mod diesel trucks. Everyones interests are different. Yes, buying a diesel just so you can roll coal is pretty stupid though haha

Just so we're clear, I'm not trying to argue with you @seraph

seraph (Jun 29, 2014 at 0:45)

I'm just saying that the current popular trend of causing one's truck to spew as much black smoke into the air as possible is asinine.

bryandickson (Jun 29, 2014 at 17:08)

Ahh gotcha. I can agree with that haha

esach (Jun 30, 2014 at 9:03)

haha bryandickson, all the coal is is unused fuel being burnt. its not what happens when you build a diesel. there are fully built trucks with 800+ horsepower that don't "roll coal"

ritchierich (Jun 30, 2014 at 9:25)

Have you watched any diesel pulling trucks or drag built diesels? About 99% of them "roll shitloads of coal".

esach (Jun 30, 2014 at 12:46)

yeah i have haha ive worked at a diesel shop, going to school for diesel, and work on diesels.. yes a shit ton of people roll coal when you build them, but that doesn't mean its built at all. ive seen tons of 'built' diesel on drag strips and pulls not roll coal. A properly tuned diesel will make a large amount of power and not roll coal.. rolling coal is burning unused fuel, and when your not using all that fuel your not making as much power as you could be

bryandickson (Jul 2, 2014 at 2:45)

Like ritchie said, if you watch any diesel drag or pulling trucks, the majority shit coal. If they are built/tuned perfectly, then in most cases no, there will not be much unburnt fuel/rolling coal. Well there may be a lot until the turbo spools, then it will clear up. Like I know what your saying, I know all that shit too, but if you are to go look at videos of drags/pulls, the majority will roal coal. That's what I'm basing it off. I was just trying to get the point across that a diesel "rollin coal" is not an uncommon thing.

benloose (Jul 2, 2014 at 14:57)

It's not a trend dickweed, it's what happens when u tune a diesel.

benloose (Jul 2, 2014 at 15:07)

A "smoke switch" is simply another program/ strategy, or an additional dupe pump to get more power. So no it's not dump. It's the same as any mod u could do to any kind or engine diesel or gas.

bryandickson (Jul 2, 2014 at 15:15)

It's called a smoke switch for a reason. All it does is trick the engine into thinking it needs more fuel, so it dumps more fuel in and makes it smoke. Which yes, could produce more power, but it's mostly used for just rolling coal, it's not exactly a power maker.
