Tuning a 03 Cummins ISL

I have a 04 Country Coach Intrigue with a Cummins ISL 8.9 Liter. I bought it in Virginia and drove it back to Colorado. I have been using it in the mountains this summer and have noticed it blows out black smoke when you first press the accel. I recently took a trip back to the midwest and noticed the smoke cleared up. I am thinking it is running rich at altitude so it smokes more here. Does a 04 have non-compensating for barometric pressure fuel injection? I am thinking my engine does not. So it would not compensate for altitude. Is there a way to adjust the fuel-air mixture?

Why don't you take it to your local diesel guy and talk to him. Not sure if yours has a auto altitude adjustment or not.

Check/change your air cleaner. It might be clogged and restricting the amount of air the engine is able to pull in.
Today is my personal best for most consecutive days alive.
