I got my foot into it yesterday
WOT getting onto the highway. I shifted around 3,000 RPM. I've never done that before and it blew a good size black cloud out the tail pipe during the shift. After that, the truck ran great. I think it was in need of that. I've never gone above 2500 RPM and 99% of the time shift just below or just above 2000 RPM.
Is the black cloud just unburnt fuel and soot? I kept into it cruising at around 80mph for a couple of minutes after that and there wasn't any smoke coming out. I had to open up my '69 Benz diesel once and a while to clear it out. Does the same go for these trucks? I figured because it's a newer diesel, it doesn't need that.
