excessive smoke

I seem to have much more black smoke at take off especially if I give it some throttle, however it seems to vary from each start. If I punch it while I'm already moving along it doesn't put out too much smoke. Any thoughts?
05 4x4 39k miles.

thanks Steve

When was last fuel filter change? If over 12-15K then try that as the engine is very sensitive to fuel flow/pressure.

It's been about 15k since filter change.

As mentioned the smoke is black.

If it was an injector it seems like it would smoke at higher speeds when I get on it.

Hmmm.
more need for air from a stop - less if your turbo is already spooled up when you're going already...

may be somewhat normal...
having any turbo noises - differences in sound / performance ?

may be an air filter ?

Air restrictions will cause incomplete combustion - smoke....

just throwing out some things...

Since you have 39K on the odometer and still under the 100K engine warranty. I would take it in and have the tecks give it the once over for the $100 deductable its worth it for peace of mind.
