I don't think the the black smoke means less power. On our pulling tractor it has more power with black smoke than when it's lean and smoking gray. I have been wanting to do the same thing to the 782D but don't know where the screw is. As far as affecting reliability it should have no effect whatsoever. I know i'm comparing apples to oranges but our IH 1566 has over 300 hp and it is our main farm tractor. It has ran like that (with over 300 hp) for 20 years (since we put it together) and is completely stock minus injectors and injection pump. Even though they are not similar in size a diesel engine is a diesel engine no mater how you look at it and they are all built similar so reliability should not be an issue.
