Not sure.
Have you tried the stock setting to see what that's like?

Could possibly have an issue with an injector o-ring??

Changing injector o-rings is a relatively simple procedure, you'll have to remove the injectors though. If you've never done it before then you should plan about 4 hours for the entire R&R process. Of course, we aren't sure what the issue is just yet...I was just throwing out a guess.

My truck has been smoking a little lately too, (black) but it has gotten very humid and hot here, and that seems to be the only reason I can pinpoint.

Mine smokes a lot and the egts will jump sometimes. It happens when I step on the pedal and I'm at a crusing speed. I have major boost leaks, so thats why causes mine.
