The whole reason I bought my Superduty...

I looked it up and I couldn't figure out exactly what is required as there are 2 numbers circulating but one was it has to be under 26001 lbs (which you are) and the other is if the trailer weighs more then 10,000 lbs, then you need a class A license (aka 'cdl')
I looked it up once because I drove a friends f350 dually with a 3car trailer and 3 cars on it, and was curious if I needed a class A to drive it.
Id look it up though with your states laws

Wow lots of comments lol. I drove my brothers Cummins 3500 to prom and he didnt care what I did or how I drove it just as long as I watched one gauge out of 6: the pyrometer. It had a piece of tape on it at 1250* and he said dont let it go past that for very long lol. I learned at 40 lbs of boost, it climed like a rocket real fast. Its got tons of work to it, needless to say. Itll blow smoke for as long as you have your foot in it. Ever since then, Iv wanted a diesel. Can anyone say Cummins swap?
You planned on doin some work to yours?

Technically, he should have a CDL to drive it. its a truck pulling a trailer with over 10,000 GVWR. (i think). i know my Chauffeurs license is good to drive anything (truck and trailer) up to 10,000 GVWR.
but anyways, lookin good, thats gonna be a long trip. Any worries with the trailer?

Why does everyone think that blowin smoke is a bad thing?! If you do anything more than an intake on a diesel, it blows smoke! It means it has power. Its not like a gas engine where if it blows any color of smoke at all, then its got problems. I have yet to see a diesel engine with an exhaust and tuner that wont blow smoke. Put bigger injectors and youve got a smoke screen

Whiles your right 90% of the time you will blow smoke with a chip and more with injectors and stuff but it can be tuned out. All smoke is raw fuel that is not being burnt. So really its just wasteful. Smoke dosen't really hurt the performance so I don't think 90% of the people really care to take the time to tune it out.
Give me some time to search and I will post some videos of smokeless powerhouses.

Well you guys are mostly right about blowing smoke is kinda pointless but looks coll as hell!
And if you have a 90+ mm turbo like my brothers Cummins, it can handle that extra fuel.
And lastly, have you EVER seen a built pulling truck not blow smoke? Theres a reason for that. More fuel = more power whether you burn it or not. That means you have fuel to burn meaning youll never run a lean code lol

Second, Smoke does not mean power. Zach's truck with 310 tune or 350 tune will run pretty much smoke free and have 500+ horsepower at the rear wheels and this is a proven fact. Thats one fuel only, no nitrous.
A pulling truck smokes like a train because they are under a load. Yes they hve big power, but they are also pulling a load. Watch a diesel drag race. It smokes on the line because it is being held back while spooling the turbo, Down the track it clears up unless its overfueled.

Cummins are very great and reliable engines. They are cheap to get power out of compared to the others. I dont like the dodge truck though. We have them as company trucks. The cab (minus megacabs) are small and uncomfortable. They just dont last to the abuse. The engines though are great.
All in all, all the engines have their strong and weak points.

I cant find the pulling video of a white cummins blow zero smoke but I have the next best thing. This truck runs 10s now and for the most part is smokeless

90+mm? are you kidding me? I'm not saying impossible but i am calling BS. Maybe a 60mm single. But not a damn 90mm unless he has nitrous to spool the thing. The turbo would never light and the truck would drive like ****.

And anytime you put your foot into any engine, its under load, thus should blow smoke if built, whether a pulling truck or not.
My brothers friend has a procharged Cummins and his is impossible not to blow smoke under any load and its pushing 900 horses and was built by a reputible shop. You cant tell me thats a tuning issue

It blows no smoke because the procharger is forcing enough air to light the turbo very quickly. A laggy turbo will also cause smoke off the line. Trains do smoke when they are starting out...... Coal fired trains always smoke... your point?
I said nothing about tuning issues. Merely made a point is all. It's under load until the turbo spools up is what i am getting at. My truck will smoke if i want it to. But runs smoke free once the turbo lights.
Blowing smoke is not also cool and is heavily frowned upon by the general population and EPA. Why do you think there is so much more emissions BS now?
(Sorry zach for derailing)

I said its impossible for it to NOT blow smoke. Meaning it smokes constantly. And I live in a hicktown where no one cares about emissions lol.
Im tired of talkin bout this anyways. Everyones got their own opinons about the way diesels work and no one will admit theyre wrong. Lets agree to disagree
