    Over fueling bad..............
    To much fuel can/will wash down the cylinders and cause all kinds of wierd things to happen till it melts down.

    It's a somewhat negative side-effect of increasing fuel delivery without also increasing boost pressure. The stock Duramax runs with an excess of air, but add fuel beyond a certain point, and it'll smoke more. Lots more fuel - lots more smoke.

    There are products that allow for more boost pressure in the LLY. The "Boost Stick" from www.kennedydiesel.com will help, as will custom programming.
