Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

it is normal to have blaqck smoke under load. If the problem seems excessive to you you may want to look into blanking the egr. There is a ton of info on that along with the pros and cons of doing so. If it just happens up steep hills and when punching the gas I wouldn't worry too much.

Also see CCauto's note about injection pump timing. That will probably help clean it up too.

Alternatively you can also take out the EGR, clean it, and reinstall it. Once again, its all to do with preference.
