Stacks are still alive and well around here. There is an older cummins truck running around here with at 12 or 15" diameter single stack in the bed. Sounds terrible and looks like a big chrome trashcan.
There are mainly two reasons to run stacks.
1) For cattle hauling(as article stated) so you don't choke out the cattle with the older trucks that spewed out a lot of smoke.
2) Drag racing. Some tracks and/or associations require your smoke stack to be a certain height for diesel vehicles due to how much smoke they emit.
Outside of this they are just posers like those guys who lift their vehicles but never go off road.
