Default Dark grey smoke

I recently replaced my lift pump with the crap O'reillys pump and noticed that my truck started blowing kind of dark grey smoke at an idle when I blipped the throttle. And wanted to know if any one else has had this issue. Also after only about a month of running that pump it's bad already just a heads up for people.

sounds like A LOW fuel pressure from the LP ... causing the injectors to dribble the fuel instead of having a nice even spray pattern .... happens frequently ..

Given the newness of the lift pump do you think there is something further up the line is causing it like a clog in the in tank screen.

Sweetv8s10. I would guess straight from cummins that's were I plan on getting my next one.
