I have a Ford Diesel ( pre PowerStroke), and associate with a great group of guys at oilburners.net.
There was recent thread by a guy asking how to turn up the pump so he could blow smoke. He was seriously taken down by nearly everyone. Most seem to think that blowing smoke attracts the wrong kind of attention, and may result in increased laws against diesels.
We recently had out 9th annual East Coast Get together. This year it was at Bowling Green. We had about 30 families. A great time, and a great family atmosphere. A few weeks prior to our event, there was a Dodge group in a nearby campground. They royally po'd the locals by smoke and noise. The local outrage actually threatened out GTG, but we a have a reputation for policing ourselves. Every campground we have used invites us to return, and are pleased to have had us. Some of our group run straight pipes, some have stacks in the bed, but we all behave and drive quietly in the campground.
