the truck quit smoking today???whats wrong now...

today I noticed that the truck didn't puff out the big black cloud of smoke on take off, nor w.o.t. on the freeway. Last night i thought it was puffing more then normal but i shrugged it off. All my mods are below and still on the truck. Can you guys help me figure out what is going on.. I miss the smoke. P.S. ohh there is no performance loss...
thanks kevin

Hard to tell since there is no peformance loss, If its colder were your from it usually lessens the smoke after the truck has warmed up. Smoke comes from the air and fuel mixture. Want more smoke add more fuel, however the smoke is just wasted fuel. Could just go pump the fuel into a trash can and pay for it id suppose.

has the outside temp cooled down alot? I know in Vegas, the truck smokes alot more at 100 degrees there, than at 70 deg in WA.

Just for fun, what's your FP at when it smokes/doesn't smoke? It's probably do to the cooler air being denser (more oxygen in it) and burning more of the fuel.
