Why am i smokeless???

I was wondering why i do not blow a cloud of diseal smoke when i got on the gas anymore. I used to be able to blow big clouds,but now nothing. I do have the superchips programer and even in high performance mode i still cant blow a cloud of diesel smoke. Any one know why??
I have a 04 f-250.

Answer is.....

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (ULSD). With only 15ppm sulfur, there is less soot and carbon. The old fuel was 500ppm.

By the way, 15ppm with its less soot and carbon by-product is better for your motor, EGR valve and turbo... less of this stuff leaves less of this stuff to clog and stick on these components.

With the ULSD you shouldn't be smoking at all. I use DK at each fill up and I'm a clean burner.

Mine doesnt smoke like it used to either, and I also have the superchips flashpac tuner. I attribute this to the ULSD. I've heard that people who have upgraded their flash pac's have lost their smoke on heavy acceleration due to superchips reducing the amount of fuel being injected when you mash the throttle.
