Light grey smoke

Hello, I am in Prescott Arizona right now, around 5500 feet elevation. I noticed today that the truck is smoking quite a bit of light grey almost whitish smoke upon acceleration. I pulled a trailer that is around 3500lbs up from Phoenix, and had no real problems.

My question is, do I need to worry about it? It is quite a bit of smoke. Any ideas? Should I be concerned trying to pull the trailer home? Is there anything I should check?

no lights,
normal gague readings,
did not get hot

I am an experienced diesel owner, and know to expect some smoke, but this is just under normal, not "pushing it" type acceleration and have not seen this from the truck before. I also have a MIA feline and know that could leave a little more smoke.

TIA, Brady

Keep close tabs on the oil level. Might be an injector heading south. How many miles on the ticker? Feline Tester huh? LOL
