I think it's irresponsible. Is this what you guys do to 'roll coal'?
No, not necessarily. The reason why a diesel "rolls coal" is because it is dumping a lot of fuel with not enough air to burn it. Today's diesels with higher injection pressures, multiple injection events, and quick spooling variable geometry turbos can run deleted without a puff of black smoke. Of course higher horsepower tunes will blow smoke as soon as you get on it. but will clear up as soon as the turbo catches up to the amount of fuel being injected.
You can also purposely tune the truck to blow smoke, the people who do that are just diesel fuel wasting a$$ hats.
