a smoke switch fools the PCM into thinking the turbo is at peak boost, the PCM in turn dumps loads of fuel into an engine with little to no boost and WAH-LAH! loads of smoke.
its an EXCELLENT way to wreak havoc on an engine, in several ways. heavy deposits of carbon and soot will make short work of clogging an EGR (if you have one), cat (if you have one) as well as make short work of a perfectly good turbo, causing the veins to stick in a VGT (increasing lag). however i dont think the '00 cummins had a VGT.
in a cummins, you are rendering your MAP useless causing it to run like s**t. PSD switches are wired to the VGT solenoid causing the vein geometry and PCM to set for peak boost which in return accomplishes loads of lag from idle.
it also sends LOADS of unburnt fuel out the tail pipe. waist of money. its the young diesel comminites way of saying "hey look at me, my truck is sooo fast-look at all that smoke!"

The Craigslist ad has only been up since Jan. 31. He tried to do this a few months ago with another Cummins, that he claimed he test drove at a local dealer near him, but was actually in Texas.
