They are a whole 'nother thing with a little tuning and turbo. Plus, they sound so cool!

Not sure what the deal is with this 6.2 but I have noticed going down the highway and also when climbing highway hills at highway speed it puts out alot of what looks to be black smoke. Also after it sits for a good while (months) it smokes pretty bad. Until you put what seems 10-20 miles on it to burn out some oil it is a smoke bomb. I started it and drove it for the first time yesterday after sitting all winter. If you get into the throttle it will smoke so much you can't see behind you until you let off. More of a bluish white smoke. Nothing coolant related since it is always full. Also for resale purposes I would think a gas would sell better but that is just my opinion.
