I have noticed that when I accelerate quickly in my Dodge 2500 I get a cloud of black smoke from my exhaust. I’m new to using diesel engines … is this normal or a cause for concern?
Thanks.

Nothing to worry about, it's prefectly normal. It's nothing more than more fuel being put in than the engine can completely burn. This happens as the turbo is spooling and not up to full pressure yet. Once the boost builds, the smoke goes away.
It's nothing to be concerned about at all, it's a normal characteristic of a diesel. You can lessen the amount of smoke (somewhat) by increasing air flow. Get a high flow air filter and / or open up the exhaust and the engine breathes easier and produces a little less smoke. You'll still get some until the turbo spools, but you can lessen it a little.
Then again, you can also install a box or programmer, Dial-O-Death and smoke on command.

RE: Black exhaust
I noticed the black smoke this weekend. I bought a 2006 QC, CTD, this weekend and I happened to step on the pedal a bit aggressive man the famous black smoke came out. At first I was concerned but that seems to be normal for the Dodge diesel to do... I owned an 04 Dodge QC 1500 until Friday. CTD is the way to go.. Loving it.
