slight smoke from tail pipe
Good day folks I have a few questions. 
I recently towed 13K in my 02 Dodge 5.9.
I didn't notice any smoke before I took this trip. Total was about 5600 miles. Half was unloaded with an empty trailer and the other was with the full load. The truck ran great the whole time except for I suspect a hose blew off and we didn't have full boost.
The truck got about 10 mpg. ( I was expecting around 13 - 15mpg, Oh well)
There are no mods on the truck as well. There is about 156K on the truck and she has Amsoil in her.
Now after I have returned, I noticed some smoke from the tail pipe when I start
her in the morning. The smoke is not black, but doesn't smell like antifreeze
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem??

Smoke from my rear end???
Well, the temp is in the 30s.
The smoke looks like it's white, but, it diesn't seem to look like steam.
The smoke kinda fills my driveway, but, I don't smell antifreeze or I don't think
any excessive fuel smell.
Hmm. Could be I didn't notice it before. I am usually aware of how my truck
runs. I can hear when it needs an oil change.
