I have been reading alot of post due to saturday I noticed truck smoking at idle all day long, and the diesel exhaust smell is definitely worse. So I am guessing possibly injectors. I am going to try to bring it in this week for them to check it, there is 70,000 miles on it.
Of course this happens when work is busy so hard to find time to deal with it.

well of course the dealer said that they didnt see any smoke (smoked on way home ) said injectors tested fine, so I also told them my fuel gauge read improper and a few weeks ago ran out of fuel, they checked and said it was accurate and if it happens again to bring it back
