Do you have a breather cap on your truck yet?

Simple, one of the byproducts of combustion is H2O (water). A cold exhaust system will condense it into droplets and the exhaust flow will spit it out. It will be noticed at the tail pipe until the exhaust system is hot enough to keep it in suspension. More humid environments only exacerbate the situation. Don’t just start and idle for more than a 10 seconds in the morning – that doesn’t mean floor it either while it’s warming up. Vehicles today purposefully run rich right after start-up to light off the catalytic converter. So the combination of the cold exhaust, humid environment, rich mixture until the cat lights, and low exhaust flow during idling, all add up to debris stuck to the side of your truck.

LMAO @ Marc

02JSVT,

They all do it, it's just the carbon build up from a rich mixture. Zaino will make it easier to wash off.

A guy told me he was from Carolina.
I could tell right away he was from South Carolina.

He was wearing shoes.

I don't know exactly what's in the J-49 chip but I think it has chocolate chips and almonds Just kidding

Seriously, Mike Troyer, the Superchips distributor, told me that the J-49 was for towing. I have J-69 for performance and J-49 for towing.
