if diesels are running properly they shouldn't be smoking like that ,they should just be showing heat vapors

id drive it. probly get better mpg than my ranger right now, (18 at best). mostly the reason for the black smoke is its common to crank the fuel pumps for more hp.

i love deisels, i love rangers, that would be perfect for me.

Hate to tell you but the big diesels will not get you better mpg than your Ranger. Well, those really aren't the big diesels, they are a mid-sized diesel. That black smoke is just loads of raw, unburnt, wasted fuel. Idiots like that give diesel enthusiasts a bad rep.

I guess some people got more money than brains, (the tires! that paint!), bet his neighbors love him, but I guess somebody knew what they were doing to put that engine in... guy down the road from me put a 4bt in his '69 Chevy shortbed, pretty sweet. He said he would'nt wanna try it on my Ranger.

If you want that kind of smoke you put a switch on the mass air sensor when you shut it off it just dumps fuel down the exhaust pipe. It sounds like a 12 valve though so it might not have one. But seriously if you ever took a cummins apart you wouldn't want one in your ranger. They weigh as much as another ranger sitting on the front of your truck. hell the wrist pin is like 1.75".

8 valve. It's a 4-banger.

No MAF, it's a mecanical pump. He turned up the pump. If he ever puts a real load on the engine he'll burn a hole right through a piston or two.

I take it back. Not even a mid-sized diesel. It's a BABY diesel.

I would be impressed if it was a straight 6 Cummins or a 7.3 Powerstroke. He's basically made it into all show, no go.
