2004. Why is it emitting black smoke?

Is your vehicle a petrol or a diesel? Black smoke is a sign your engine is burning a fuel mixture that is too rich, (Too much fuel, not enough air). Start by replacing the AIR filter. After that you need to get the fuel injectors checked. If yours is a diesel have the EGR valve checked as a sticky valve isn't diverting unburnt fuel back through the fuel system.

Have LT 1536 . Smoke started coming out the exhaust but engine sounds healthy

Depends on the colour of the smoke.
Unlikely an engine will sound healthy emitting black smoke - excess fuel.

An engine could sound healthy emitting white smoke (steam from coolant) but not from white smoke (excess unburned diesel).

Most engines emitting blue or blue-grey smoke from burning engine oil can sound very healthy.

Oil smoke is blue, white smoke is condensation and emits steam on a cold morning, will disappear at operating temp If your car is a diesel, white smoke indicates unburnt fuel

if engine emits white smoke its not burning the fuel
it could be water mixing with fuel = head gasket even tho you

if engine emits black smoke - that's excessive fuel to air ration
check air filter & air inlet to see if clogged

if engine emits blue smoke - excessive oil consumption
cloud be valve seals

I have a diesel engine that expells white smoke for 5 to 10 miniuts after start up? The exhaust also smells rich with fuel? I bought the truck used and am trying to fix the problems! Please help.

When an engine expels black smoke it means that the piston rings are going and is consuming oil. And when the color of smoke is white the engine is consuming more fuel. Both are harmful. Black to the engine and pocket while white to the pocket. It seems that the injector need careful attention.
Cold engine does expel white smoke initially. When the temperature rises to normal working temperature the smoke stops. This is normal in your case. 5 to 10 minutes to warm up is normal for any diesel engine. But any thing more than that needs attention.
