Black exhaust

Oil oxidation
Has your truck sat for too long? When you don’t drive your truck for long periods of time, it leads to bubbles in the oil, which impacts lubrication. It may be time for an oil change.
Timeline for diagnostics and repair
An oil change usually takes between 15 and 45 minutes.
Off-balance weight viscosity
If you notice a hard start, it may be due to the engine lubrication being imbalanced. Your unique diesel engine requires a specific viscosity, and the wrong oil can be bad news for It can take up to two hours to rebalance an engine for better results.
Too much noise
Diesel engines are loud, but the noise shouldn’t be excessive. You know the sound of your truck running, and a new sound is a sign that something is wrong, and it needs to be checked.
