Ive never heard or seen such a thing as a smoke switch. Some aftermarket programers have settings that once used can cause exess smoke. Just keep in mind smoke = wased fule. I'm all for that big beautiful back cloud but I dont think any company would make a switch just to smoke

It was probably a 6.0. And it's a BAD idea for 6.0's because it can really lock up your VGT vanes.

Is your truck late or early 99?

i have heard about this smoke switch. i am not exactly how it work but from what i have heard is that is a switch that opens the wastegate and keeps it open. i could see this working because then u wouldnt build boost you would be just burning fuel. making a lot of smoke. this is just a romor that i heard.

I ran Tony's tunes in my 95, and if you have a stock TS chip then yes you will notice a better running truck. You can't go wrong with wildman.
