    Could need a tune-up. The jakes on those (usually 795's) don't usually make a smoke of that color if any color!

    Possible that you have an injector leaking or oil leaking thru a valve seal and its burning thru the exhaust. The turbo seals on these are JUNK as well!

    Have them check for oil in exhaust side. That SHOULD cover jakes, exh valves and exh manifold. It can also cause a HIGH build up of soot in the egr and intake. Get it taken care of asap
