smoke coming from underneath the truck??

I have been seeing smoke underneath the truck. It is hard to tell where exactly it is coming from. I cant tell if it is from the exhaust or not. Everytime I notice the smoke there seems to be a little breeze, so it might be coming from the exhaust. Just seems weird and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or has in the past. Does not seem to have a lack of power everything seems normal.

I was gonna ask the same thing. Either it's that or you have an exhaust leak somewhere, should be able to see soot from that. Do you see the smoke while it's idling or going down the road?

That's what you're seeing. There will be smoke, enough that you can see it kinda wafting around. I wouldn't worry about it, that's 'standard operating procedure' for diesels.
