It is completely normal for a diesel to smoke black. But, if it just now started to smoke black and everything on the truck is stock, go get it checked out by a mechanic. You could have bad fuel injectors or a dirty air filter. Start with the simple stuff first. And, I'd say from it being a 2004 Powerstroke 6.0L, that your injectors are probably bad.
