So far no issues white the white smoke and hesitation. I've been driving it since trying to get it to do it with no issues so far. But I do see puffs of black smoke coming from the exhaust when I get into the accelerator.
Black smoke isn't normal. Our trucks aren't supposed to smoke. I don't have any clue as to why it might be smoking, but it shouldn't be.
