The tail pipe was chrome and the insides were black as coal. Yep, saw it sitting in my shop just awhile ago.

Well the OP said we should have some fun.

Nice collection of stickers Stanley, haven't run across any deleted truck yet but I know their out there. My little jet sure seams to enjoy itself more. Went to Cabela's last night, it's an hour drive each way from the house. Going there with a 40 MPH tailwind the lie o meter got up to 24.8MPG, on the way home with a 40 MPH headwind 20.6 MPG, turned out of the wind for another 20 miles or so went back up to 21.8 MPG. Not bad for a big O'l truck.

Mine is barely black, but I don't tow much.

The black I think is from lots of towing or lots of rolling coal.

Driving home yesterday on I-10 West and noticed a 6.4 Super Duty on the next lane behind me so I let off on the go pedal and let the truck pass me. Look at the tale pipe... Yep it's black and took a picture... so I press back on the go pedal to look at the dashboard and there's no visable tuner.

I'll post the picture of the tail pipe later.

That last one didn't have the tuner on the dash either. I saw it in a parking lot going in and on my way out he was getting into his truck so I asked.

i hardly ever see any around my neck of the woods.. everytime i see one, i'm always looking at the tail pipes.. i always get weird looks from other 6.4 drivers when my truck has a slight haze coming out of the tail pipe. i was once asked by another 6.4 owner if my truck was running ok because of the haze coming from the tail pipe. i proceeded to fill him in. he was absolutely clueless and didn't know what a DPF was.

Since you began this thread I've been looking for ones with black factory tips but haven't seen any so far.

I've noticed that either member's aren't participating or Houston just has that many more deleted trucks than anywhere else. Considering the later, why does Houston not have extremely polluted air quality. We were recently given a B in particle pollution by Stateoftheair.org. Maybe that's a topic for another thread.
