Congrats on your swap!  (you did the swap?)

Did the puff of smoke happen more or less immediately? Of after some miles?

Getting some relatively trouble free miles on a swap is a good feeling.

Please don't misunderstand this question, (I like diesels) but shouldn't a
TD be getting better mileage? Then again, 4 people and all the stuff must
add up.
