Irregular Black Smoke From a Stock Truck

My '06 6.0 is sock with the exception of a 4" exhaust (no cat or muffler) and K&N intake. It really doesn't black smoke at all - however out of nowhere last night it was smoking pretty good, I had a friend driving behind me and he even called me to let me know I was dumping smoke out (since it usually doesn't).

Now, what I would like to know is; Is this a sign of something ready to go wrong? The truck runs great, shifts great, spools correctly, etc. Maybe EGR? Turbo? Injector(s)? I plan on deleing the EGR here soon.

Thanks!

Well apparently I took the video upside down.....:doh: But you get the point. This seem low to you? Thanks for everybody's help! Trying to decide if I need to tear the turbo down and clean it out or not... Also, has since stopped smoking.
