I was driving around with some of my buddies in my dmax when I see a beat to hell 12v blowing a TON of smoke. Well, being the S**thead I am, I speed up to catch up to him so I could blow his doors off (this town's cruise night has a large number of cummins, majority being beat to crap, stacks, smokin everywhere they go, etc.).

Well, I don't get far before I'm getting stopped. The traffic stop results in two tickets; one, no excuse for- excessive acceleration from a stop light; but the other.......EXCESSIVE SMOKE DUE TO DEFECTIVE MUFFLER.....WTF!?!?

My truck smokes for no more than half a second and that is only if I floor it from a dead stop....and even then it isn't much at all, but the officer told me I was the one that left that huge black cloud. And that it was illegal because diesel exhaust is NoX and sulfur and is bad for "babies and old people"

If he is so worried about soot then he should get in gear and start hitting those 12v's that smoke everywhere they go.

Hopefully it won't be hard to get out of this one.

Can you guys read?

Duratothemax- what part of my truck doesn't smoke don't you understand? How is a smoke ticket on a truck that doesn't smoke not bs? Was I complaining about the improper speed ticket? No I wasn't. I could care less about paying for a ticket I did. It's COMPLETE bs to give me a smoke ticket when I didn't smoke.

Yea, diesel exhaust is loaded with nitrous oxide, but is soot nox? Diesels put out nox all the time. Not just when they're blowing smoke.

Anyways it doesn't matter, the smoke ticket was thrown out this morning.
