Hello everyone!

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel that I've just added the Superchips
performance tuning upgrade to.  There is a definite change noticable after
the upgrade, but I am a bit concerned by how much black exhaust I am now
seeing.  Has anyone out here done this / seen this before?  I loaded the "Hi
Performance" program.  When I am in town I will see a substantial black
cloud - sometimes even with a very minor acceleration.  If I hit it a bit
harder the plume is much worse.  I tend to shift at lower RPM's   I was not
ultimately looking for power from this upgrade, but rather the best ecenomy
I can get out of it...

Recently I ran into a guys while fueling up that told me he had only
replaced his injectors and went from 19MPG to a solid 25MPG - in town!.  He
gave me the name of the shop and told me to call them.  The shop recommended
the Superchips tuner instead of the injectors as long as the current
injectors were still good.

Thoughts anyone?

Have you ever been to a tractor pull? They send out a massive black cloud
when pulling...

Black smoke with a module is incomplete fuel burn. Thats just how it is when
you dump fuel into the engine without adding more air.
