Question Black smoke

My truck started smoking all the time, it is black smoke, not sure what would make it smoke black all the time, even at an idle u can see it, and under slight acceleration. i tried taking off the chip and no change at all, i have a 4in exhaust, AEM Brute Force HD Diesel Intake and Diablo Sport Predator Programmer , any help would be great, thanks

check your MAF sensor... it could be dirty/oily and it could be giving the ECM weird readings

Air cleaner is clean, ill try cleaning the maf sensor and see if that will help.
also my fuel mileage went from 18 to 12mpg

Is there a way that i can check my injectors, to see if one is stuck open? also what should i use to clean the maf sensor?

not so good of an idea, brake kleen can melt or damage the MAF, better to use MAF cleaner
