Smoke switch?

You put a tire in the box, douse it with gasoline, then put a spark plug in the gas. Wire it to the battery with a switched coil in circuit. When you want smoke, ignite the tire and drive.
Seriously, smoke is a sign of unburned fuel - means lousy mileage, higher-than-optimal EGT, and generally not enough air getting into the cylinder to burn the fuel you're getting. About the only reason to want smoke is to make people who don't understand diesels look, and a burning tire in the box accomplishes that just fine.
If you have a dirty air filter or a malfunctioning wastegate, you'll get smoke. You could perhaps run your switch to the wastegate solenoid, but as soon as you defeat it, you'll get a code and de-fuel, and then you'll have to stop the truck and re-set before you can boogie again, which sort of defeats the purpose (looking cool).
Think about the tire.

: Because you haven't filled your signature it's hard to elaborate.Keep a lonngg handled grappling hook in your vehicle.
If you are driving a pickup, keep the tail gate down. If you're in a SUV or van keep the back doors open and the side windows down. Always keep the vehicle moving, and in the case of a tail wind, moving faster than the wind. Last but not least, when it's time to switch off the smoke, point the vehicle down wind and use the aforementioned grappling hook to drag the smoke making device through or over the open doors/tailgate which have been cleverly left open just for the occasion.
If you are thinking fire extinguisher for an off/switch.., trust me, they have a high failure rate....:thumbsup:

It is difficult to make our trucks puff black smoke and stay running!
If you want lots of black smoke get a cummins.
