white smoke on exceleraction

O.K. I changed my fuel filter and ran seafoam thru it this past weekend. Thought it would make things better, but yesterday when leaving work I was getting on it a little. well a buddy that was behind me at the time and told me today that I was blowing mostly white smoke out the rear. It used to be all black when I got on it real good. What is up with the color change and should I be worried? By the way I am not sure of the miles on the motor or the ip, I called the guy I bought the donor truck from and he got mad and told me to get lost that I bought the truck as is and that was that.

White smoke is a sign of incompleat fuel burn. Not sure why seafoam would have caused that. It sounds like it is being over fueled.

After i had my truck a couple weeks it started doing that then I put a heavy dose of diesel klean in it and it cleared up been running the regular dose ever since and it never came back. Do you use an additive when you fill up?
