It may be due to loosing HP due to more miles. But most likely because of a different street with different traction, like a road that is not as smooth or it may have less oil on the road then before, or the temperature of the tires and road or the air pressure in the tires. And the brakes could have adjusted differently so you can't make it slip. Lots of variables.

Try driving up to a curb a tall enough one. Put your front tires against it. Then in gear go for it. So you don't have to use the brakes to hold the truck back.

It will smoke a little bit of black smoke if you have a lot of carbon built up in your cylinders, but if it was a continuous black smoke, then like said above, too much fuel.
