Question Haze. Bad injectors?

hi guys,
I have noticed lately that my truck has seemed to develop a haze at idle. I noticed it a couple weeks ago while I was backed into the shop with the sun shining in the door just right. I also notice it especially at night when the wind blows the smoke across any lights. I haven't seen any change in EGT's and I got all the power I thought I had lost when I cleaned my air filter this weekend. Am I getting a bad injector(s) or why have I started getting a haze. I haven't run any injector cleaner through it in months and I'm going to get some this afternoon but I won't hold my breath.

What's you oil level? Normal?

The haze you are seeing could be a little more fuel...normal with the TST...don't know for sure.

I notice as the Temp rises I get a little haze at idle, ambient temp outside not truck temp. And as it gets hotter outside I seem to notice it more, but hey I could be crazy.

Thanks guys I hope its not the injectors but theres not much I can do if it is I guess. I haven't noticed it before but I guess it could have something to do with the weather warming up.
