Unplugging the Map with a comp

I'm sorry when I read posts like this I just have to wonder why people are so stupid. You want to have to sell the truck, put it back to stock, or worse yet drive some freaking battery powered hybrid? Keep doing chit like this and it's just a matter of time. It doesn't matter what I think or any of you think. We live in a culture of granola headed, PC, hippies, that WILL make a big enough stink about this that you won't be able to have that hotrod diesel anymore. Use your freaking brains people and don't shoot yourselves in the foot as seems to be such the popular rage these days.
Lets say I'm crusing through SLC for instance getting on the freeway or changing lanes and I'm blowing out a black cloud on the following cars, well one of those cars may have a Siera club member or even a senator and it ticks him off enough he starts the ball rolling.
Hope that made sense.
I drive with my Comp box on 5x1 or 2 to keep the smoke down.

I'm sorry I don't mean to start a fight in the family but as a group we have got to be aware of outside perceptions. I too have smoked a car or two and if you are right on my bumper I would smoke you too. On the other hand the more I think about it the more I realize that I like driving a fast truck a lot more than I like smoking people. I would be perfectly happy if my truck made zero smoke. It's not the smoke that I enjoy... it's getting your head pinned on the headrest as I pull away from some sports car and know they are thinking *** was that lol. Sorry for the rant just think about it the next time you feel like belching a big cloud on an unsuspecting group of cars behind you. It will put an end to the fun for all of us sooner than you think if we keep it up.

I'm glad some folks are wakin up finally on this smoke stuff. I put my own little rant on here a year or more ago about drag racing on the streets and smoke and it went almost totally ignored. I like speed and smoke but if you want to keep it, you gotta keep in mind "right time, right place" and everyday driving around town isn't it. Alot of the average population out there would love to see the biggest Diesel personal automobile on the road be a VW Rabbit and right now it wouldn't take much convincing to make it happen.
When somebody smarter than me builds this switch I wanna be first in line to buy one.

I unplugged mine and I didnt notice the throttle responce or the low end power, in fact it seemed worse, Maybe its cause I have an auto. I did notice the smoke though.

I agree with every one else about not smoking for around town driving, I love smoke. Just use it for play and those pesky tailgaters, but not every one all the time. When i drive around in the city i only use level 1x1 on the comp.
If you find the 5v supply to the sensor from the comp and splice into it with an on-off switch, that should do it.

Now you see the main reason for electronic engine control. The big trucks (semi, coach, etc) would be cranked up without mufflers and such causing them to smoke like a freight train. They puffed enough smoke on the wrong cars (congress, senators, etc) and the government took action. The same will happen here if its not controlled. I'm going to the University of Northwestern Ohio looking for my 4 year in diesel.. so I know some of the "underground" and the problems going on that we will have to face in the future. At this rate, things are looking VERY grim unless it can be straightened up soon. I'll also now get off my soap box
The switch should be VERY easy to make as all you need to do is kill the power wire and the entire thing will shut down. Might even have to try that on the old mans truck (99cummins) when he isn't looking

I've been running with mine off for 2 weeks now and so far no codes or check engine light. The power down low is great. It really makes pulling the work trailer through town easier. Mileage hasn't been affected either which is also very nice.
