Only on cold startup (diesel engine) it can be normal to get little black smoke, as long as it doesn't continue. If it continues after warm up that could indicate engine wear. I'd recommend a mechanical inspection. The newer common rail diesels though are generally cleaner burning than older engines.

A 1993 Ford F-250 with a 7.3L non-turbo diesel engine typically should not blow excessive smoke during normal operation. However, if it's blowing smoke, it could indicate issues such as poor fuel quality, a malfunctioning injector, or worn piston rings. Blue smoke usually suggests oil consumption, while black smoke indicates an overly rich fuel mixture. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected to determine the underlying cause.
