I have noticed that I have more smoke than normal coming from my pipe.

I have no change in power and no change in oil level.

Any Ideas???

Changes in fuel quality (particularly in cetane) can produce changes in engine running characteristics. Changes in fuel filter (fuel supply) restrictions can produce changes in the amount of smoke produced.

And of course, defective fuel injection components or engine components can produce changes in running characteristics and in the amount of smoke produced.

Diagnostic info like knowing whether there are any trouble codes, boost pressure produced, smoke hot, cold or both, vehicle performance changes, or fuel economy changes can be helpful to narrow down the possibilities....

I have a new update.
This afternoon my check oil level light came on.
Checked the oil, all was good.
Restarted the truck and the light was gone.

Any ideas now???
