Jason ;

Not an attack here , O.K. ? .

I currently have three M-B Diesels and have had more .

My European Spec. 300TD turbo has no EGR and it is not modified from stock in any way .

It's not only faster and more powerful than all my other (U.S. Spec.) Diesels , it smokes *ZERO* although it consumes more fuel .

Using clapped out and deliberately mis tuned Semis as examples is irresponsible ~ I know O.T.R. drivers who make a point of installing bigger injectors to get more power at the cost of black smoke and higher fuel use .

As I said before : when new , visible smoke was a serious no - no and often caused forced exhaust opacity checks before the vehicle would be allowed to hit the road again .

Yes , there's particulate matter and yes there's a small amount of smoke to be visible when you stamp the throttle at low speeds under full load conditions but NO it's not supposed to smoke constantly in daylight , never .
