Maybe don't look in the mirror so much ...Back to the train of thought.
I noticed that there might be a bit more smoke vs. occasional quick stab puffs.
Thinking it could be:
A. Lift pump pressure but, injectors deliver what the deliver and there’s been no lack of power the the truck feels happier.
B. SoB air filter is restricting air.
C. Happy Foot needs recalibration.
More likely C. I’ll drive it a while and see if things calm down in the “foot to fun” department.
Fuel mileage will tell too.
