    My 2011 GU with 40000km on it blows a lot of black smoke umder load .
    I tow about 2.5 T .
    So much smoke my white dog ends up grey , I think he likes it as he could go to the other side and get away from it .
    Always did blow a bit of smoke but more after putting a chip in it

    My GQ is so smooth and quiet that without smoke I wouldn't be able to tell my truck is running!

    Seriously though, anyone with a GQ 2.8 I've spent a bucket load chasing smoke issues (Inj pump overhaul / new injectors / dyno tune / every guage known to man etc) and it turns out she just wants to smoke. If power is good and fuel eco ok Just live with it.

    Hmmm... I have only had a diesel for a bit, but have driven them extensively - both tractors and cars and I think I spot a flaw here. Black, Blue and White smoke in quantity is bad, but in cold (like 0 C and below) temperatures there is going to be SOME visible exhaust, when the hot exhaust gases meet the cold ambient air. If I am wrong here go ahead and correct me.

    I live in a place were diesel engines are only for old trucks and old pick ups, and every single car that uses diesel engine has black smoke coming out of the exhaust, and when I want to buy a decent car that has a diesel engine I ask my friends and relatives about buying it nearly everyone expects its a shitty car.

    also, I have read that diesel engines are more fuel efficient than petrol engines.
