Default 06 5.9 blowing a little smoke ?

This truck has 49,000 miles on it and it seems to be smoking a little at idle and when you get on it. You see it better at night with the head lights pointed towards you. Is this normal? I've seen other trucks with no smoke at all. I'm just wondering if something is failing that's all. The truck has no mods.
