I put my truck back to stock yesterday, just to see what the difference was since the mods, and even stock there was a stream of smoke. Nothing like what the Smarty produces, but i wasnt intentionally trying to get it to smoke. Its a diesel, its going to happen at some point. And my exhaust has a muffler, it isnt straight piped.

Maybe some of you guys with '03s and a Smarty jr. should have your injectors checked out. We drive an '03 with a manual and Flux injectors(small), old B1 turbo and SJr.; never see any smoke on any level, towing or not.
Reason I say this is that I have seen alot of '03s bone stock that smoke like a frieght train because of bad injectors. Mileage also suffers. The Smarty Jr. would exploite this problem and make smoke even worse.

Yes, black smoke due to injectors. For example: We had an '03 with 140k on the ticker. Bone stock. When you even remotly got on the pedal, black smoke rolled like it had a Smarty on 9. We pulled all 6 injectors and sent them off. 2 were real bad and 4 were completly shot. Got 6 new stock injectors, put them in and no more smoke, and better fuel mileage. This is just one of about 5 trucks I have seen this on in the last 6 months. But I do understand why you question the black smoke. Injector issures are often accompanied by white smoke, but it seems more common on a stuck injector than just one that is worn out.
Kuhkuhkyle: This sounds like your issue as well. I would be yanking the stixs and getting them checked out. Or at least get an injector leak down test.
