Sounds like the air filter could be clogged, If you haven't changed the air filter or if you drive your truck where there is a lot of dust, try changing the air filter.

Black smoke is caused by an over rich mixture and normally occurs whenever the engine is working hard; e.g. going up a steep grade, being loaded heavy, or during heavy acceleration. More black smoke can be observed when the vehicle is operated at higher altitudes, because the air is thinner. A dirty air filter is also another cause of excessive black smoke. If black smoke is noticed while the engine is idling at low altitude, or under normal driving conditions, this condition should be diagnosed ASAP to prevent engine damage.

I'm not sure you even have a problem. Your maintenance program is almost overkill.
